FACCIA, Analía. Discursos sobre el cuerpo, vestimenta y desigualdad de género. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2019, n.76, pp.37-48. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi76.1054.

This article analyzes the relation established between the bodily practices -especially, the dress practices- and the identities and gender roles. First, it emphasizes the social meaning that the clothes gives to the bodies through gender, category that determines the ways of dressing according to gender stereotypes imposed by the culture. Then, it analyzes the body dressed in the occidental modern society, as a corporal discipline oriented to mark the asymmetric and binary identities of gender configured in the bourgeois social order. Finally, reflects on how the bodies remain disciplined in consumer societies under new modalities that manage to reproduce traditional gender identities and the subordinate status of the feminine.

Keywords : fashion; clothing; consumption; gender; culture; body.
