1) Frases que llamaron nuestra atención, extraídas del video “¿Qué piensan los que no
piensan como yo?: Culto al cuerpo”.

Como sujetos somos consumistas, en este sentido el consumo es una satisfacción inmediata,
todos somos vulnerables en alguna dimensión de nuestra vida a querer buscar una solución
fácil.

La idea de mostrar algo (un cuerpo hegemónico) me hace desear eso porque me es
inaccesible, si yo puedo acceder entonces pierde parte de ese encanto, de esa fetichizacion.
Entonces los cuerpos a los que queremos parecernos son los que sabemos que no podemos, y
eso es lo que también produce sufrimiento.

Hoy en día ya no huimos de la guerra, si no que huimos de otro estigma, que es el inexorable
paso del tiempo […] al perderse el sentido de trascendencia como sociedad, se genera como
un horror a la muerte, y un horror a la vejez como estadio más cercano a la muerte.

¿Cuál es el límite cuando la batalla por esculpir un cuerpo perfecto puede convertirse en una
nueva pesadilla; cuanto sacrificio es necesario para alcanzar ese nivel de belleza?

Si me preguntaran ¿querrías ser otra persona o querrías no haber pasado por esto? diría que
no, porque yo soy así y me forme así, porque tengo muchas virtudes por haber atravesado esta
enfermedad […] la humanidad viene en todo tipo de tamaños, talles, colores...y tenemos que
empezar a trabajar con la idea de diversidad corporal.

2) Frases de canciones que hagan referencia al cuerpo:

Artista: Meghan Trainor - All about that bass https://www.youtube.com/watch?

v=7PCkvCPvDXk&ab_channel=MeghanTrainorVEVO

Yeah it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two

I see them magazines (ah-ha) workin' that photoshop (ah-ha)
We know that shit ain't real
Come on now, make it stop If you got beauty beauty (ah-ha) just raise them up
'Cause every inch of you is perfect
From the bottom to the top
Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size
And no I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll

Esta canción muy popular es una celebración a las mujeres y los hombres con sobrepeso y un
esfuerzo por romper con los estereotipos que valoran excesivamente una figura esbelta. La
cantante habla desde una perspectiva personal, ya que asegura que para una chica es
imposible lucir como lo plantean las revistas. Tal como lo mencionan en el video “¿Qué
piensan los que no piensan como yo?: Culto al cuerpo” es parte de este mandato social que
existe, de que hay que hacer algo con el cuerpo, y ese algo implica desde como te cuidas, con
que te alimentas, como te curas, etcétera.

Artista: Sara Kays – Smaller than this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvYpyGikb1c&ab_channel=SaraKays

Oh, I feel like a failure if I don't skip breakfast and lunch

I'm chasing a body I know that I'll never outrun
'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than this
And I just can't quit pulling at my skin

Esta cantante relata en sus letras bien crudas acerca de los desórdenes alimenticios y la
presión sobre los cuerpos femeninos, temas sensibles, como la lucha que sufre por la
aceptación de su cuerpo, la salud mental y situaciones personales. En esta canción describe
que “Me siento un fracaso si no me salto el desayuno o almuerzo". Además de una
preocupación del cuerpo como imagen, también hay una preocupación del cuerpo como
experiencia; allí entra el con qué me alimento, como me curo, como me muevo, toda una serie
de como vivimos nuestra experiencia corporal. Vivimos en un capitalismo muy mutable que
exige un sujeto dinámico, flexible, que se adapte, por eso los cuerpos tienen que ser flacos.

Artista: Alessia Cara - Scars to your beautiful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWASeaYuHZo&ab_channel=AlessiaCaraVEVO

She just wants to be beautiful

She goes unnoticed
She knows no limits
She craves attention
She praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
She don't understand she's worth it

Esta cantante en su letra nos cuenta sobre una chica que quiere ser linda, que alaba poder
tener una imagen linda que llame la atención. En este sentido podemos afirmar que el cuerpo
femenino ha sido visto como un objeto, algo que se puede vender, exponer y comprar, la
mujer siempre ha tenido mayor presión con respecto al deber ser de su cuerpo y ha sido
persuadida directa e indirectamente a cambiar la forma en la que se ve con el fin de agradar a
los demás, cumpliendo de esta manera con los cánones de belleza impuestos por la sociedad a
la que pertenece, esto se puede evidenciar en campañas publicitarias, concursos de belleza,
programas de televisión, películas, revistas, catálogos de ropa entre muchos otros. Es
preocupante el hecho de que el cuerpo femenino este a disposición del mercado, teniendo en
cuenta que el mercado solo busca vender y no se preocupa por el individuo, quien es el
principal afectado por la existencia de los estereotipos. Como mencionan en el video de “¿Qué
piensan los que no piensan como yo?: Culto al cuerpo” podemos abrir ese concepto de
belleza a múltiples formas y no pensar que es una sola (la hegemónica), y no preocuparse
tanto en la belleza como rasgo externo.

I wake up early, sometimes at 5:30 to run
My mom got too worried, I had to tell her
it was fun
Oh, I feel like a failure if I don't skip
breakfast and lunch
I'm chasing a body I know that I'll never
outrun
'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than
this
And I just can't quit pulling at my skin
Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like
How I look and I wish I knew why
'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than
this
I'll set a goal for myself and I'll try to work
hard
I'll reach it but swear I look just like I did
from the start
I know that it's not true but I feel like I'm
the only one
Who's chasing a body I know that I'll
never outrun
'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than
this
And I just can't quit pulling at my skin
Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like
How I look and I wish I knew why
That I'll always wish I was smaller than
this
I was smaller, I was smaller, I was
smaller
I wish I was
I was smaller, I was smaller, I was
smaller
I wish I was
I'll always wish I was smaller than this
And I just can't quit pulling at my skin
Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like
How I look and I wish I knew why
That I'll always wish I was smaller than
this.
