Resumo:From friend to partner Barbie was winning a legion of fans, and there are many girls who idealize seem like a doll. The utopia of perfect body leads to questioning the immersion of technique in life, i.e., the junction of the bios with technè, the hybridity between the organic and the inorganic. The new technical possibilities provide a number of opportunities, and what was until then an aspiration, volition, is realized today in a right and a duty that is claimed. All differences are converted to deviations from the norm consisting of the slim body, perfect, a model to be imitated and desired. The body has achieved a status: the playfulness, beauty and happiness are transversal to the cult of youth as a fetish. Thus, body dissatisfaction assumes normative condition and can lead to body image disorders.
