Activism discussed includes work in burlesque, community organizing, daily interpersonal work, work in higher education, organizing or funding community events, fat culture-making, exercise, and both online and in-person mutual aid and education. Participants raise relationships and events that led them to become fat activists, and talk about challenges in fat activism including the widespread belief that fat people can become thin people, racism and cissexism, internalized oppression, “body positivity” decentering superfat people and people of color and centering smaller white cisgender women. Included is the poem “Impostor Syndrome” by Dr. Sydney Lewis. Participants also talk about opportunities for action, powerful and effective strategies and tactics of fat activists, and possible futures of intersectional radical fat activism; these include mutual aid online organizing, centering Black fat femme people and politics in fat liberation analysis, multiple accessible ways of organizing, and organizing both with cultural and relationship-based work.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"10 1","pages":"328 - 347"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74590715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In texts, pictures, and sounds on FAT, gaps between differently-sized women are stitched up and a feeling of an all-women’s community is offered as a solution to hurtful experiences. I argue that shared vulnerability can signal a welcomed realization of previously hidden privileges on the part of the more normative subject. Yet, talking about shared vulnerability risks ironing out fat women’s experiences by decentering them or displacing them with those of more-normatively-sized women.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"110 1","pages":"98 - 111"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89292801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using our memories, against the backdrop of larger social-historical forces, we put forth a method of “re-membering” ourselves: our bodies and our wholeness. The first Minna in our story, Minna Yorkowitz, arrived as an immigrant to New York in 1905. She was a large woman and an observant Jew. Her daughter Ida rejected everything having to do with Judaism and saw thinness as a way of fitting in. Ida’s daughter, Margaret, sought her own (re)connections with Judaism while struggling well into adulthood with restrictive eating and internalized fatphobia. Minna Bromberg, Margaret’s daughter, deepened her connection with Judaism, connected with the fat liberation movement and, as a rabbi, seeks to deploy Jewish text and tradition in liberatory ways. Our “Fat Torah” approach looks at how diet culture is idolatrous and guilty of undermining the inherent worth of every human being. We offer a “re-braiding” that allows us to bring together each of our lives into a new wholeness.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"158 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78376134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a Black fat rapper, singer, dancer, and performer, Lizzo at once disrupts the normative image of a performer and becomes a commodified representation of body positivity. Her self-love messaging undoubtedly touches a broad fan base who look to her for guidance and inspiration. But how is she taken up by audiences dissimilar to her? Lizzo’s body-positive politic is presented as being particularly interested in disrupting body terrorism, while some audiences perceive it as a neoliberal model of self-love, failing to challenge systems. We consider ways in which Black fat bodies are consumed and used for their utility, while broader relationships to other Black fat people remain unchanged. We map selections from Lizzo’s creative output in 2019 to demonstrate racialization and fat embodiment intertwined in her performances, leading to the necessary coalition that fat activism must adopt.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"51 1","pages":"268 - 282"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85752837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She links the history of Jewish women’s involvement in fat liberation to radical black queer fat acceptance in the 1960s. Incorporating the theorizing of Sabrina Strings, Merissa underscores how fatphobia began during the Enlightenment as a way to associate fatness with savagery and racial inferiority. This led to the racist creation of the BMI and the continuation of white supremacy within WASP-centered beauty norms. Jewish women especially have internalized these white American esthetic ideals, leading to what Rabbi Minna Bromberg terms “diet culture as idolatry.” Many of the interviewees, who come from a diverse range of religious practices and professions, describe the ways their Jewish mothers emphasized dieting as a way to control “Jewish wildness.” They challenge the idea that fat is unhealthy and maintain that Jewish communities must confront their fatphobia. Three key Jewish ideas are interwoven throughout: bezelim elohim, tikkun halev, and tikkun olam [made in God’s image, healing the self or the heart, and healing the world]. These three tenets articulate how Jewish traditions already include the philosophies needed to go beyond fat acceptance to advocate for fat liberation.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"83 1","pages":"138 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74524994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a larger study about how pageant participants define beauty and health, this paper examines the presentation of fat bodies in a plus-size beauty pageant, and how the pageant constructs, rewards, and reinforces specific types of fat performativity. Although the plus-size pageant is challenging traditional ideas of beauty in terms of body size, pageant participants are expected to be “good fatties”. The pageant teaches competitors the socially acceptable ways to eat and to dress for one’s body. Pageant competitors are taught that looking beautiful means to “discipline their corpulence”, while the pageant simultaneously delivers the messages of “big is beautiful” and that beauty comes from within. The paper concludes with implications of these findings on gender and femininity, and fat studies, and fashion studies scholarship.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"258 - 272"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82031120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess whether or not this is occurring in women’s fashion, I draw from a content analysis of 162 online job advertisements for female fit models in the U.S. collected between 2012 and 2018. I show that fit modeling is, indeed, more size- and shape- inclusive than fashion modeling. However, when compared to the broader U.S. population, the sizes and shapes recruited in fit model ads are not inclusive. For example, only 16% of job ads recruited “plus-size” models, none recruited fit models larger than size 20/2X, and virtually all specified fit models with hourglass proportions. To the extent that fit models are selected because they mirror fashion brands’ “target customers,” these findings suggest that the U.S. fashion industry is not, in fact, becoming more size- and shape- inclusive.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"123 1","pages":"244 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75372686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the vision initiated in the 1973 Fat Liberation Manifesto feels narrowed today, limited to posting selfies online or boycotting diets. While fat acceptance is essential, it is only part of a fat liberation movement. Liberation movements intervene in institutional power that unfairly advantage one group over others. For fat people, what would a fat liberation movement look like? One that intervenes when insurance “declines coverage” for fat bodies until they lose weight? Or when police are exonerated for murdering Black people like Eric Garner, blaming him for being a “ticking time bomb of obesity” when police put him a chokehold? After a year and half of consistent action to engage fat people in more radical liberation that intervenes in institutional power, we officially launched Fat Rose as an online group for study and action in January 2019. In this article, we use two political organizing tools to assess fat activism: Movement Ecology (personal transformation, building alternatives, changing dominant institutions) and the Momentum Organizing Model (escalation, active popular support, absorption). These tools help us place fat liberation work in context of broader liberation movements, and strengthen our organizing for the liberation of fat people. In this article, we explore these tools through our work with Fat Rose, to share our story and to offer these tools as useful organizing strategies for other fat liberation work to come.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"54 1","pages":"312 - 327"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80409625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
