Body, visibility, fetishism, visual consumption, youth.Abstract
Focusing on the place of images and bodies in the configuration
of contemporary societies (mediated, discursive and aesthetical),
this article puts in question the nature of the consumption of
images that takes place in this society. Arguing that fetishism
has become, himself, an image and the fact that the body is
structurally affected by the dictatorship of compulsory visibility,
we seek to build analytical tools to identify appropriate strategies
and interpretations of juvenile visibility in which hegemonic
aesthetic standards are refaced.
