    CORPO FREAK E CULTURA MIDIÁTICA A PARCERIA ENTRE L’OREAL E ZOMBIE BOY Sérgio Laia1; Maria Câmara2 Resumo: Tomando como ponto de partida os Estudos Culturais, este texto aborda como se apresenta o corpo freak na cultura midiática tomando como referência uma parceria que L´Oreal estabeleceu com o chamado Zombie Boy no propaganda "Go Beyond the Cover", divulgada no Youtube. Trata-se de demonstrar como, para a mídia contemporânea e as imagens que compõem muitas de nossas representações sociais têm acolhido corpos como o do Zombie Boy que – por apresentarem-se de modo freak questiona o padrão da “forma perfeita” e “bela”. Mostrar-se-á, então, como a publicidade vem se beneficiando de imagens fora do padrão para a propagação da sua mensagem associada às mercadorias disponibilizadas para o consumo. Palavras-chave: Corpo freak; Mídia; Subjetividade contemporânea. Abstract: Taking as a starting point the Cultural Studies, this text approaches how the body freak in the media culture is presented, taking as reference a partnership that L'Oreal established with the so-called Zombie Boy in the advertisement "Go Beyond the Cover", published on Youtube. It is about demonstrating how, for the contemporary media and the images that make up many of our social representations have welcomed bodies such as the Zombie Boy that - by presenting themselves so freak questions the pattern of "perfect form" and "beautiful".

  • The Evolution of Lady Gaga
    Master’s Thesis 2019 The Evolution of Lady Gaga - And the different performance identities By Nanna Ørslev Andersen Supervisor Mia Rendix AALBORG UNIVERSITY DET HUMANISTISKE FAKULTET Nanna Ørslev Andersen 3-06-2019 Master’s Thesis Aalborg University Abstract The overall topic of the thesis is how Lady Gaga thematically expresses performativity and how she performs different identities in order to conclude if she has gone through a change concerning her performance identities from her first studio album and until her latest album. The thesis aims to analyze within a thematically framework on how Lady Gaga expresses performativity and performance identities focusing on gender and sexuality. Besides, it will highlight how she has developed as a performer concerning her identities throughout her work. Moreover, it will analyze whether Lady Gaga is aware of her performativity in her visual appearance. Therefore, this thesis aims to discuss whether Lady Gaga’s lyrics and visual appearances have changed since the beginning. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on the American philosopher Judith Butler’s gender theory about performativity by analyzing Lady Gaga’s way of performing performativity in terms of gender, sexuality, and identity in her songs and music videos. Judith Butler’s interests lie in the social gender, and she points out that an individual’s gender is defined by its performativity. Hence, by working with this theory, it will examine how Lady Gaga’s performance identities highlight the fact that Judith Butler claims that gender cannot be determined from the beginning since according to Judith Butler, changes throughout life concerning one’s surroundings and behavior.
