Identidades contemporâneas e narrativas visuais do corpo feminino no instagram

Abstract

The theme about the female body and the centrality that this body assumes in the twentieth century led us to dialogues concerning the discourses, issues, theoretical and methodological references that have guided its study and the concepts operationalized in it. This research aims to understand the representations and self-representations of the female body immersed / expressed in the digital universe. The delineation of this gaze takes place at the interface between the fields of image and discourse analysis, making exchanges from one field to another. This study is qualitative in nature, cross-sectional and descriptive; For an analysis of the data was used the method of analysis of speech. The results show that, given the emerging model of the analysis, a way of thinking about women is inscribed, with an emphasis on the appearance of the body and centered on sexuality, guaranteeing the existence of a female visual screen. The virtual universe is not only presented as a medium, but also as a context of reinforcement, encouragement and [re]production of discourses, a constituent part of the process of production of meaning, signaled by allusions, repetitions, a peculiar tenacity of the image and / or of an (un)construction effect. By this bias, longitudinally analyze the common perspectives historically assumed to the representations of female corporeality, the civilizing discourse of the body and social dictates respond as truth, urgent.
