In der Studie "Dicksein" untersucht Eva Barlösius (2014) das Wechselverhältnis von Körper und Gesellschaft. Im Zentrum ihrer Analyse stehen dabei die Perspektiven und Positionierungen "dicker" Jugendlicher, die in Gruppendiskussionen erhoben wurden. Zusätzlich wurden auch die Perspektiven von Eltern sowie PräventionsexpertInnen erhoben. Diese vielfältigen Daten werden mithilfe ungleichheits- wie auch legitimationsanalytischer Theorien interpretiert. Ein zentrales Ergebnis ist, dass die Jugendlichen ihre soziale Position und ihre Zukunftsaussichten primär durch ihren Körper bestimmt sehen, während andere Differenzkategorien als nachrangig gedeutet werden. Vor diesem Befund formuliert Barlösius ihre zeitdiagnostische These der zunehmenden Relevanz des Körpers für Prozesse der sozialstrukturellen Positionierung. (Autorenreferat)... view less

The study "Dicksein" [Beeing fat] by Eva Barlösius (2014) investigates the manifold relations between body and society. To accomplish this she analyzes the experiences and knowledge of "fat" adolescents and their parents as well as health promotion experts. The study is empirically based on group discussions and an expert workshop. Barlösius discusses her data in the light of theories on social inequality, legitimation, and moral communication. One of her key results is that adolescents primarily interpret their present and future social positions in regard to their body. The author uses her findings to argue that in contemporary societies, the body has become an important element of social inequality. (author's abstract)... view less
