ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the know-how that is acquired in connection with clothing, and which is part of the networks of actions that constitute a subject's social construction. The hypothesis is that both the choice of clothing and the body techniques that are necessary for individuals to be clothed in a certain way allow them to integrate various groups of play, age and gender. As has been demonstrated in a number of gender studies, these young people show by their choice in clothing that they master certain social codes, which imply, for instance, that girls should not show their underwear. The transmission of morals requires unconscious incorporation as Bourdieu describes it for the habitus seems to work, since the girl declares that her personal taste is the fact that she like dresses and skirts. Washer rings, handles, rods, planks, etc., salvaged when the opportunity arises, are used to make the alterations inevitably required in the workers' technical activities.
