Descripción
Sumario:The article introduces a literature review about the notion of appearance and presents an original conceptual definition, of a biopsychosocial nature, which seeks to contextualize and synthesize general aspects of the recent production on the subject, especially inside the Human Sciences field. There was a lack of a comprehensive, integrated and clear definition of appearance, which was sprayed in correlated terms or indirectly and tangentially used in different studies and fields of knowledge. These efforts aimed to strengthen and conjoin the debate about the construction of personal and collective presentation around this variable, important for the understanding of the ways of life and social organization along the life course.
