Mídias e a imagem corporal na adolescência: o corpo em discuss？o

the aim of this article is to discuss the influences of the media on the images that come from the contemporary models of valuing the adolescence age and the organization of the youth′s people body image. the term adolescence age, in this sense, refers to the process of valuing characteristics typical of adolescents, such as the appropriation and construction of a body identity and the experimentation with new body references. based on this discussion, we intend to propose analysis about the youth in contemporaneity and their ways of possible constructions of a body image that promotes the subject’s welfare when relating to others. this study presents a theoretical discussion, in a speculative way, from classical authors that discuss adolescence as aberstury and knobel, as well as kehl and others.
