"La cara oscura del capital erótico. Capitalización del cuerpo y trastornos alimentarios" de José Luis Moreno Pestaña

Abstract

Dissimilar to customary calls for further training to attain a more brilliant professional career, Moreno Pestaña’s book analyses, from a less orthodox position, how the body becomes a professional asset, especially for women, and with very different kinds of occupations. Female employees experience the seizure of primary and secondary socialisation dispositions as a professional opportunity, but as described by the parties interviewed in the work, this undermines other vital aspects, such as nutritional care or the possibility of trade union organisation.
