Abstract: (282 Views)
The body can be considered as the field of exercise of all kinds of power, which is affected by cultural and social relations. In this article, we are going to identify the types of power exercises and mechanisms that shape the body. For this purpose, with the help of interpretive phenomenology approach, we have interviewed 25 single girls living in Tehran and studied their lived experience of body and embodiment. The results of the research indicate that the body structure of these girls is built under the influence of various types of power in three dimensions: a) clothing, b) Gesture, posture and behavior, and c) appearance and fitness. Types of power include formal norms, patriarchal culture, and the fashion and beauty industry. One of the mediators of these three types of power is the other's gaze. Also, the fundamental conflict of official norms, patriarchal culture and fashion and beauty appear in the lived experience and cause tension and conflict in the personality of the participants. In addition, the gaze has an unidentifiable facet that the subject does not necessarily have access to, and this facet doubles its annoyance. Therefore, the official norms, patriarchal culture, fashion and beauty act as omniscient gazes that are present every moment so that the subject cannot properly understand and interpret the expectations that are contradictory and conflicting in nature.
