body, consumerism, hypermodernity, fashion, Fernanda YoungAbstract
Body architectures, consumerism, high and low culture and hybrid processes in the hipermodernity are the main themes on the theorical framework of the present article, having as basis the critical works of authors such as Baudrillard (2004, 2003, 1991), Lipovetsky (2004), Canclini (2003, 1999). As a synthesis of these themes, we have chosen the novel of Fernanda Young, “A sombra das vossas asas”, in which the body of the writer has its own voice in the narrative; the plot is developed from the body reconstruction of the main character, who has as the goal of copying the appearance of the model Lee Miller. Midiatic aspects, which are present in the figure of the novelist, also takes part in this reading, besides the seduction, obtained through a type of a self personal project, guided by fashion and consumerism.
