Odraščanje v kulturi vitkosti : kako mlade ženske doživljajo nezadovoljstvo s telesom

Kuhar, Metka (author)

V članku s feministično-sociološke teoretske perspektive analiziram odnos mladih žensk do lastnega telesnega videza, družbenih telesnih lepotnih norm in praks. Predstavljeni so rezultati petih fokusnih skupin, v katerih je sodelovalo 34 študentk in dijakinj. Raziskovala sem, ali mlade ženske zaznavajo pritisk po doseganju privlačnega telesa, in kakšen je njihov odnos do nadzorovanja teže. Več kot polovica udeleženk raziskave izraža nezadovoljstvo s svojim videzom. Njihov ideal je vitka postava. Večina jih je že bila na dieti. Do lepotnih idealov in lepotnih praks pa imajo precej kritičen odnos. O implikacijah ugotovitev razpravljam v povezavi s kulturnimi vplivi na mlade ženske, ki spodbujajo nezadovoljstvo z videzom.

Abstract

The article analyses the young women's relationship towards their look, social beauty norms and practices from a feminist-sociological perspective. The author reports findings of five focus groups with 34 students and pupils. She analysed the perceived pressures on attaining an attractive body and their relations to weight control. More than half respondents expressed body dissatisfaction. They described ideal woman figure as slim; many of them have already been on a diet. But generally they show quite critical relation toward beauty ideals and beauty practices. Implications are discussed in relation to cultural influences on young women that encourage body dissatisfaction.
