Introduction
Within
society, stereotypes have shaped people's minds about a body-mind relationship,
accumulating a fascination for appropriate bodies in terms of the perception of
beauty that has been established. That is why, depending on the time, these
stereotypes vary, at first were assimilated to the curves of the body,
understanding the fattest bodies as a sign of beauty. Later in the time of
conquest and colony, Beauty took another representation of the body, assuming
now the slender figure as the most appropriate body model and best aesthetic.
The reproduction of stereotypes has been patented by the mass media, where
there are various images of what society conforms in its mentality as beautiful
and appropriate to be accepted within the system. Within the aforementioned
stereotypes, the issue of body weight and the shape of its figure is the most
noteworthy, the prejudice from this paradigm of perception have been the most
noticeable in terms of the representation of discrimination.
Body
First of
all it should be understood that it is understood by "Gordo fobia",
this social phenomenon is described as: "feeling of repulsion or
accentuated discomfort against the people considered fat, outside the aesthetic
patterns" (Guioteca, 2018), in addition to "a bias Automatic and
normally unconscious that leads to discriminate, objective and underestimate to
overweight people, especially if those people are women
"(Psicologiaymente, 2018).
This social
phenomenon present in the society has demarcated lines of the perception of the
people and their bodies, especially in the female bodies. Within the
conceptions of beauty for women "standardization of a single type of
beauty" (Neria, 2018, p. 64) is created, lines of thought are created
according to certain types of body, which mark a goal for other human beings,
who are in a told effort to achieve them, which is linked to the sense of
approval, in the particular case of women, the approval of a man (which
patented the heteronorma).
The
Gordofobia as a phenomenon has been established by these standards, creating
segregation and notions of discrimination from this term, creating barriers of
interpersonal relations and guides by
superficial roads, this causes many of the people, Who suffer from overweight
are a focus of rejection, allowing the reproduction of the stigma established.
Feminism
approaches this subject from the domination of the human body, especially the
female body, which is constantly subjected to beauty assignments that are
installed to segregate, this decants in various illnesses and mental disorders,
specifically in adolescence.
Conclusion
In
conclusion, we can assert the like people to be ruled under a certain system,
which seeks the production of patented paradigms in a productive future, manages
to intervene also in the form of our body and mind, affected and controlled to
Fit within standards not only of beauty, but also of behavior.
