Mujer, autoestima, corporalidad, moda, mediosAbstract
This work is the result of a qualitative investigation carried out by the authors, as part of a wider project about the stereotypes that media – particularly advertising – offer to the society, as well as the pression on women. The conclusions reached during the conduction of a discussion group and eight deep interviews from the subject matter “corporality, self-esteem and fashion discourse” are brought together. The main finding of this article consists in offering a reasoned analysis of the different perspectives in which women face their corporality and relate it with their self-esteem, just like their perception of media contents.
