Gender Social Research Social Structure Sociology fat studies social constructionism Foucault cultural sociology 30 Rock discourse analysis popular culture body theory postmodernism feminism power resistance surveillance embodiment normalization discipline dominant discourses Using a combination of fat studies, the social construction of the body, Foucauldian approaches to the body, and cultural sociology, this thesis examines discourses about the fat female body in 30 Rock. The body is carnal and fleshy, but it is also socially constructed; this social construction has a long and deep cultural social history, and its power is particularly apparent with regard to the devaluation of the fat female body. By combining multiple theoretical approaches, a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of discourses about the fat body emerges – suggesting that even when shows such as 30 Rock engage with counter-hegemonic discourses about the body such as fat acceptance, they may revert to hegemonic and heteronormative standards of beauty and the fat body. 2011 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1321302513 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1321302513 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
