Abstract:

This study aimed to identify a self-image presented by adolescents, in the face of a society made by the demand for image and body standards considered perfect, understanding the influence of social relations and the media in the construction of their identities. This is a qualitative research, based on Oral History, involving 13 adolescents between 15 and 19 years old, female and male, studentsa public school in Minas Gerais. It was used to discover with a semi-structured script for data collection, which were later interpreted by thematic content analysis, proposed by Bardin. The findings were arranged in two categories: 1- The self-image in the process of construction of the adolescent\'s identity and 2- The aesthetic ideal of the society of the spectacle. The reports demonstrate a strong influence of technologies in the formation of their identities and possible consequences that the search for a spectacular image to meet the aesthetic standards of the virtual or real world can bring to adolescents. This idealized self-image reveals the contemporary way of being and living, the values, the fragility and the superficiality of the relationships in the society of the spectacle.
