Descripción
Sumario:This paper, through a bibliographical review, approaches the connection between the subject and the image it has of its body, covering the influence received by the media - print media, television and advertising appeals, which contribute to the massification of concepts and values about the body, which is seen as something that can be manipulated or modified, becoming a pole of deep desires and a great object of investment. The cult of the body shows itself as a characteristic of this time and is based on the daily search for physical perfection, being able to overcome any problem and meet any expectation. It also deals with subjectivity in the face of phenomenological and psychoanalytical findings, as well as its fragmentation as a result of the subject divided in contemporaneity. As to the confrontation of the issue, in what refers to the ideal body pattern, possible harm and psychological consequences of a disproportionate search are listed here.
