O corpo masculino na contemporaneidade

Abstract

The aim of this study is to discuss the history of the body since ancient times until there is contemporary with an emphasis on male body and the different silhouettes that represent ( triangle , rectangle, trapezoid , oval and Inverted Triangle ) . For this, a literature search was performed to trace a brief history of the influences that the body received over time . As a result came to the conclusion that the bodies were being modified from the influence of the Catholic Church under the attitudes of man ( body and soul ) , the control of biopolitics, by narcissism in which bodies become molded into gyms because have an obligation to be " healed" , well defined thus becoming consumer products from the advances of the great industries , and should fit the different cultures of society.
