After having been excluded for a long time in the fashion consumer market, in recent times fat women seem to be finally conquering space, with the emergence of a variety of initiatives, such as fashion weeks, beauty contests, fashion brands and scientific events aimed specifically at the fat public in Brazil. Considering consumption as central in the definition of the identity of the contemporary subject, our objective in this article is to analyze the growth of the women plus size fashion market, evaluating its weaknesses and strengths, and especially its influence on the formation of the identity of the plus size woman. For this, we undertook a bibliographic review of authors who deal with consumption, body, capitalism, identity, and fat body and plus size fashion: among them Polain (2013), Jimenez (2020), Sassateli (2012), García-Canclini (2010), Bauman (2008), Aires (2019), MCracken (2003). We also conducted documentary research on journalistic articles and advertising pieces. As an empirical method, we observed the plus size fashion market in the city of São Paulo from 2019 to 2020.

This study aims to understand how geography composes the intersectional identity experiences of bisexual people in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. To achieve the aim, we conducted four interviews with people who selfidentify as bisexual, namely, two cisgender women, one cisgender man and one gender nonconforming. Next, we analysed the interviews according to the categorical and enunciation analysis (BARDIN, 1977). Their stories demanded the consideration of four key concepts: identity; intersectionality; body; and space. The dialogue established between the stories and the key concepts evidenced how bisexual identities develop, most of the time, in loneliness, and for this reason the body appears vehemently as a space of existence and resistance.

Fishing is an essential activity to rural livelihoods in the Amazon. This article discusses the learning and reproduction of fishing practices in riverside communities of the Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve (RDSA), Amazonas, Brazil. The study was based on ethnographic research on learning fishing practices that, ultimately, enable the person 'to become a fisherman'. Those processes include fishing experiences during childhood, the development of skills that enable them to 'take care of their own canoe', and the ways of reproducing knowledge in fishing environments. Furthermore, we discuss how the participatory management of pirarucu, an activity that started 20 years ago in the region, required the development of new skills of collective organization of labor for the management of fishery resources. Fishermen, who previously did not know how to harpoon pirarucus, learned it by engaging in management activities. Working in fishing produces riverine territoriality. The engagement of subjects in fishing practices is a process that produces bodies, identities and landscapes. These are processes that continue to reproduce themselves due to the existence of and access to the territory, which allows for the construction of 'dispositions for action' or 'affective capabilities' in learning cycles in communities of practice.

This study analyzes the poetics of the photographic registers of Severo Sarduy (Cuba, 1937-1993), Pedro Lemebel (Chile, 1952-2015), Alair Gomes (Brazil, 1921-1991) and Hudinilson Júnior (Brazil, 1957-2013). By body and artifice, sensibilities traverse the works that revisit not only baroque, but the neobaroque in its aesthetic dimension. By a folding, we look between queer and photography to think about the performative of the body as image through melancholy and trauma. What we call the "skin of images" is close to a texture of the in-between look that touches us, like a surface that extends from one skin to another. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to understand how the construction of beauty standards and fatphobia are engendered in the representation of the female body in memes, disseminated in Brazil during the pandemic of COVID-19 in 2020. The theory turns to the memes as a Brazilian-cultural element, to the subjectivity and the female body, besides the construction of beauty and hostility based on the size of the bodies. The investigation was based on Discourse Analysis applied to a corpus composed of memes, collected on Instagram and Google. The results show discourses that perpetuate structural violence and gender violence through the construction of female body image. The material reveals that social constructions under the body and beauty have been present among girls since their childhood and the social distinctions between the thin body and the fat body.

The article aims to analyse, reconstitute and explain the Afro-Brazilian religious-cultural constitution, based on the heritage of the religiosity from the Black Africa, based on the principle of manipulation of vital energy. It mainly discusses the religious assumptions of ethnic groups brought to Brazil - the Sudanese and the Bantu-, in the transmission of the three focuses of energetic activation: the Cult of Orishas, the Cult of Ancestry, and the Cult of Vital Energy. Finally, the article analyzed the meanings and importance attributed to the body as subject and ritualistic space, to the revitalization of the vital force principle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Back in Brazil after 5 years without performing in the country, singer Lana Del Rey was part of the Lollapalooza Brasil 2018 festival line-up. In this article, we scrutinize at how the singer's spectacle, viewed by us as an artistic work reconfigured in the contemporary context and displaced from canonical logics of this aesthetic, is configured as a possibility of fruition from three categories - fellowship, sublimation and catharsis -, the experiential prime being in the song Serial Killer. We set up a methodological course that pervades discussions about performance and body, basing ourselves in aspects that approach representativeness and possibility of experience. The concert takes on a sui generis "aesthetic practice", in order to stress poetic reconfigurations of the individuals and the artist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Food, as an aspect of the subject's daily life, is a vehicle of meaning and health production. So that the commensality deals with a collective behavior, besides being individual. In Brazil, in recent decades, there have been significant changes in subjective aspects related to eating. This article aims to propose a reflection on the psychic aspects associated with Eating Compulsion, from a psychoanalytic theoretical perspective. To this end, we turn our gaze to the beginnings of child development backed by the concepts of cannibal intrusion of Melanie Klein (1957) and an absolutely necessary object of André Green (2009). In addition, we will make some similarities and conceptual dissonances between addition, impulsivity and compulsion, aiming to deepen the understanding of binge eating from the perspective of these theoretical constructs.

The present study is part of a process of reflection on the relation, relevance and intervention of the body in the musical performance. Considering that the entire performative process demands a unified participation of the instrument, mind and body, it is necessary to deepen the reflection about the perceptions, knowledge and convictions of the faculty, student and professional in the field of music. Given the complementarity between body and performative dimension, it is fundamental to consider the quality that this relationship assumes in the learning processes. Given the objectives of the study, we opted for a methodological conception that allows the articulation of qualitative and quantitative approaches, fundamental to understand, describe and interpret the different representations / perceptions of the participants. In this way, the questionnaire survey (Questionnaire I and II) was directed to the faculty and students of the area of music of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and researchers of the Brazilian Association of Musical Performance. The obtained results show that the differentiated coordination and the body movements assume an essential condition for the musician and his performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we assume that the relationship of practitioners with what might be called context gives rise to the need to problematize the origins and mechanisms of maintenance of practices and communities of practice. Based on data from ethnographic research in a candy factory in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, we seek to show how the transmission of practical know-how is the result of embodied intentionality and analyze how this contributes to the perpetuation of certain social, cultural and historical structures. From the experiences and observations about the relationship between a master baker and her staff, we perceive that the process of transference of the knowhow that is characteristic of this craft is conditioned by a specific incorporated intentionality associated with gender, ethnicity and life trajectory. We found that although the practice in question guides a relatively simple production system, the fact that most of the people involved do not achieve full mastery over the know-how that guides it indicates that transference relationships of this embodied knowledge involve more complex issues than the willingness or interest to teach or learn a practice.

Listed as a global epidemic obesity is being treated through bariatric surgery, that is a more invasive method, however, considered the most efficient. Thus, this study aimed to investigate socio-cultural aspects and their impact on body image of women who underwent bariatric surgery in pre and postsurgery periods. We interviewed 20 women who underwent gastroplasty for at least one year in the Service Control Hypertension Diabetes and Obesity (SCHDO). Data were analyzed from a qualitative perspective and submitted to Content Analysis. The interaction between body image and socio-cultural context were configured in the follow categories: discrimination, perception of other's gaze before and after surgery, and own body´s perception before and after surgery. It was found that body image was drawn from the environment that the research group had lived. The external environment has provided to the subjects some feelings such as body inadequacy, sadness, social exclusion and inferiority, resulting in a negative self-concept. These feelings were minimized after bariatric surgery, providing to the group a positive self-concept, due to a greater social inclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Smelly body, pleasing body: subject corporal units within discourse. In this work I seek to comprehend the body and its identity constitution, particularly within the theoretical postulates of the French Discourse Analysis, developed in Brazil, from the studies of Michel Foucault. Then, I present three videos posted on Youtube as the corpora, which serve as materialities in order to discuss the relation among subjects, concerning the place the body takes as a discursive object. Thus, I focus on the subject and its practices of hygiene, highlighting three kinds of subject relations and their bodies: first, some aspects that compose the domination of bodies; second, the body used as a way of desire and passion control; third, the body as places of resistance and liberty production. Finally, the body is studied according to its relation of power among subjects, producing identities through the media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In São Paulo, Brazil, the musical genre of Black gospel reinforces the thematic power of Black voice, while gospel rap does not. In consequence, Black gospel artists embrace diasporic and Biblical history, which stimulates commitment to collective Black projects. In contrast, gospel rappers, socialized to de-center Black voice, do not develop a notion of Black voice as fulfiling Biblical prophecy, and do not develop a correlative Black politics. The article contributes to the growing literature on the possibility of an evangelical racial politics in Brazil, while identifying impediments to such politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The baiana performed by Carmen Miranda was configured as an open text in which other discussions of identities were presented from the internalization of a Brazilian mestizo project. Starting with concepts like body, border and what is considered popular, we see how the performance of this character contributed to a dialogue with the cabaretera of Mexican movies of the forties (according to Paul Zumthor, 2001). In this reading of the body as a political locus we present the body of Eva Perón as a mediator of the discussions around hegemony and resistance, indicating that, in Latin America, the modernization of the states starting from the national moved along with the development of a mass culture.
