Resumen:
The theoretical objective of my thesis has been the creation of dialogue between the current studies on youth cultures and the Social Body Theory. In this methodological perspective the body becomes a socially constructed subject, with the interpretation of biographical stories of girls and boys of anti-fascist skinheads and the Latin Kings & Queens in Catalonia. These life stories are the stories embodied by each one of them that have experienced themselves and the others because they are one body and have a body. Rebuilding their body itineraries allowed me not only to reconstruct the experiences that led them to identify with the skinheads and the Latin Kings, but also to reconstruct the histories of groups and furthermore describe and interpret the symbols, meanings and collective body practices.
