Habitus of Masculinity in Chilean Miners: Efficiency, Control, and Consumption of the Bodies

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 

This article illustrates the persistence of the habitus of masculinity in Chilean male miners.

The paper is very interesting but could be improved.

There are sentences or parts of text that are not in English. For this I point out linguistic errors. Sometimes male miners are called "HM" and sometimes "MH". Only one abbreviation should be used.

INTRODUCTION:

 

The introduction exhaustively introduces the topic. However, in my opinion it is necessary to further problematize the research topic. From a perspective of psychological well-being, why is it so important to investigate this phenomenon on this sample with this point of view and with this methodology?

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Table 1 is incomplete or incomprehensible.

 

How was socioeconomic status measured?

THEORETICAL DISCUSSION AND RESULTS ANALYSIS

In figure 2 is the legend wrong? where is the abbreviation "MM"?

Participant quotes should be formatted in the same way.

Sometimes excerpts from the text are quoted in the authors' discussion. However, the literary citation is not reported. For example, the authors write in the text in italics and in quotation marks "give it to the missus" making the reader think that this part is identical to the excerpt reported. However, in the excerpt the sentence is different, in this case: "give it to the wife".

In general the discussion can be improved by emphasizing the very strong essentialist view of gender roles.

Mining Corporality: The Mining Corporality section would benefit from a mention of the spillover literature. The discourse, especially that of Juan, refer to the existence of a barrier with no work-family permeability, which prevents (positive) spillover. In this sense, a body made to work is not a body that is allowed to stay in the family by preventing spillovers, especially positive ones.

 

I recommend this reference and related literature.

CONCLUSIONS

Directions for future research should be added and practical implications discussed.
