      Abstract

      Abstract : The paper aims to show results of a
      research about a female “must be” by prescriptions
      of magazine “Boa Forma”. It was analyzed especially
      editorials, especial sections and reportages about
      body cares. The main sources were the summer
      editions and those that prepare to that season
      (September-February, 2001-2006). The results point
      out a control apparatus materialized in ambiguous
      discourses; in the squaring of body; in the valorizing
      of discipline and sacrifice; in methods of legitimating
      in the schemas of culture industry.
