Feminine identity formation. Narrative studies. Critical discourse analysisAbstract
In late modernity, the concepts of identity and identity formation have become inseparable from language and discourse. In this article, based on the theoretical frameworks of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Identity Studies, Narrative Studies and Genre Studies, I investigate how the identities of three women, especially in what concerns their body design, is construed in the genre ‘media personal accounts’, in the present case accounts of experiences of cosmetic plastic surgery published in two Brazilian glossy magazines, Claudia and Plastic Surgery&Beauty (Plástica&Beleza).
