Fatphobia, Plus size fashion, Fat women, BiopoliticsAbstract
Published in 2019, the book De gorda a plus size: a moda do tamanho grande (From fat to plus size: big size fashion) proposes an unveiling about female fat bodies and plus size fashion as a biopolitical strategy. The book proposes a discussion about the meanings contained in the social discourses about the fat female body and in media speeches by fashion brands that produce large size clothes. The reading allows us to understand how the discourses of power are constructed, from the preference for the thin woman, denouncing the stigma of fatphobia in this scenario: the fashion industry.
