Corporalidades midiáticas
mulheres gordas, interseccionalidade e lugar de fala em explosão semiótica no Instagram
Abstract
In this paper, we reflect on the bodies of fat women who manifest themselves on Instagram as they disrupt media regulation and standardization by using the aforementioned platform as a mobilization tool. The theoretical framework is organized from an intersectional perspective in connection with studies on the body, the 'place of speech' and the concepts of 'semiosphere' and semiotic 'explosion'. The proposed method for investigating the profiles of four digital influencers is based on the semiotics of culture in relation to intersectionality and the place of speech. In this scenario, we find an important and insurgent movement of resignifying the body in the media and expressing the active subjectivities of subalternized fat women who impose cultural and political issues.
