This inquiry examines the ways in which visual culture (popular and artistic) presents images of fatness and to what extent those images contribute to negative stereotyping of women's bodies. The study focuses on images of fat women in particular and explores the kinds of social limitations that are imposed on them as they relate to beauty ideals. An historical context is examined in order to understand the power structures that exist in the regulation of female bodies through attention to fatness, moral attitudes towards fatness and the attempt to suppress female autonomy. Resistance to these attitudes are considered and sites of resistance have been identified and created in order to build a plan for action that helps to empower women and girls in the struggle over their own bodies.

520 $a This inquiry examines the ways in which visual culture (popular and artistic) presents images of fatness and to what extent those images contribute to negative stereotyping of women's bodies. The study focuses on images of fat women in particular and explores the kinds of social limitations that are imposed on them as they relate to beauty ideals. An historical context is examined in order to understand the power structures that exist in the regulation of female bodies through attention to fatness, moral attitudes towards fatness and the attempt to suppress female autonomy. Resistance to these attitudes are considered and sites of resistance have been identified and created in order to build a plan for action that helps to empower women and girls in the struggle over their own bodies.
520 $a The theoretical aspect of this inquiry establishes an historical context, examines the development of fat phobia and its relationship to morality, beauty ideals and visualizing language concerning women's bodies, and determines the power structures that support prevailing negative attitudes towards fatness and the resistance against them. The descriptive aspect of this inquiry examines visual images that support negative attitudes towards fatness in order to provide links to the visualizing language that reflects the underlying moral judgments that support them. Visual images (imaging) that are categorized as sites of resistance encompass a variety of types and are identified accordingly. The exploratory aspect of this inquiry includes the corporeal voice of women through interviews and other types of communication about fat phobia and lived experience, and examines how sites of resistance are accessed through various types of networking systems.
520 $a Fat Beauty is examined through the artistic work of fourteen artists who participated in the exhibition Fat Attitudes: A Celebration of Large Women, four of whom participated in a research project called Our Project. The conference Fat Attitudes: An Examination of an American Subculture and the Representation of the Female Body is also discussed. The implications for education include The Role of Visual Data in the Research Process, The Role of Creativity in the Critical Process and The Role of Teachers in Critical Teaching.
