0141/2021 - O INSUSTENTÁVEL PESO DA AUTOIMAGEM: (RE)APRESENTAÇÕES NA SOCIEDADE DO ESPETÁCULO THE UNSUSTAINABLE WEIGHT OF SELF-IMAGE: (RE) PRESENTATIONS IN THE SOCIETY OF SPECTACLE
Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar a autoimagem apresentada pelos adolescentes, frente à uma sociedade tecida pela exigência de imagem e padrões corporais considerados perfeitos, compreendendo a influência das relações sociais e da mídia na construção de suas identidades. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, alicerçada na História Oral, envolvendo 13 adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos, dos sexos feminino e masculino, alunos de uma escola pública de Minas Gerais. Utilizou-se de entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado para a coleta dos dados, que posteriormente foram interpretados por análise temática de conteúdo, proposta por Bardin. Os achados foram dispostos em duas categorias: 1 - A imagem de si no processo de construção da identidade do adolescente e 2 - O ideal estético da sociedade do espetáculo. Os relatos demonstram a forte influência das tecnologias na formação de suas identidades e possíveis consequências que a busca de uma imagem espetacular para atender aos padrões estéticos do mundo virtual ou real podem trazer aos adolescentes. Esta autoimagem idealizada revela o modo de ser e viver da contemporaneidade, os valores, a fragilidade e a superficialidade das relações estabelecidas na sociedade do espetáculo.
