Abstract

In this work we consider that bodies are individual, social and symbolic producers of discourses about identity. Through the exploration of the connections between bodies, gender meanings and sexualities, we aim to unveil the values and mean- ings of gender that we associate to feminine bodies; we also aim to analyze the referential categories for the configuration and interpretation of bodies and for our understandings of women's beauty and sensuality. For that purpose, we have used a gallery of images depicting women taken from different magazines. We use that gallery to elicit narratives on the images. The narratives we have worked with show that women's discourses are now merging traditional and non-traditional ideas about feminine bodies and sexualities that illustrate the way how we build, perform and interpret gender in its relation to embodiment, sexuality, and beauty canons.

Cuerpos femeninos Belleza Género Narraciones libres

En este trabajo consideramos los cuerpos como productores individuales, sociales y simbólicos de discursos sobre la identidad. Mediante la exploración de las relaciones entre los cuerpos, los significados de género y la sexualidad, queremos ver los valores y significados de género que se asocian hoy a los cuerpos femeninos y estudiar qué categorías funcionan como referentes en la configuración e interpretación de los cuerpos y en la conceptualización de la belleza y la sensualidad femeninas actuales. Para ello hemos utilizado una galería de imágenes de mujeres extraídas de revistas comerciales que utilizamos como elementos de evocación para obtener narrativas sobre ellas. Las narrativas de las mujeres muestran un discurso entremezclado de nociones tradicionales y no tradicionales sobre los cuer pos y las sexualidades femeninas que ilustran cómo hoy se construye, performa e interpreta el género en su relación con la corporalidad, la sexualidad y los cánones de belleza
