MENEZES, Camila Ferraz Jucá; FERREIRA, Rebeca Luisa Passos  and  MELO, Roberta de Sousa. “Imagine Her Naked!”: Experiences of Women Self-identified as Fat. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.2, e60118.  Epub May 01, 2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n260118.

We sought to understand the meanings that women self-identified as fat attribute to their daily bodily experiences. A qualitative research based on phenomenological method was carried out involving five interlocutors, aged between 18 and 46 years. A semi-structured interview was used as data collection technique. The material was analyzed from the phenomenological perspective of Moreira (2004), pointing out the prejudices suffered and the strategies developed by these women in their daily routine. It is important to highlight the need of further reflections on the subject in feminist theory and gender studies.

Keywords : Corporeity; Fat Women; Fatphobia; Feminism.
