Thinspiration- vägen till perfektion. En kvalitativ textanalys av Pro-ana bloggar.
(2014) SOPA63 20132School of Social Work
- Abstract
- This paper problematizes the concept of anorexia and in what forms bloggers create their eating disorder and what consequences the constructions made in blogs will involve. From a discursive text analysis, I have problematized the subject not only based on how bloggers create their eating disorder but also their view on femininity and how it may reflect on themselves. The bloggers are part of an online community, also known as Pro-ana. Pro-ana describes a community that encourages, foremost, younger people to be persistent in their eating disorder. The result shows that in these websites, bloggers finds a sense of community. Together they create an idea of “the perfect woman”, an often unattainable yet desirable ideal.
