The result of this work was Women En Large: A Book of Nudes, published in 1994. We situate the trajectory of fat liberation between that time and now. Our framework describes how fat activism over the past three decades has opened up expansive possibilities for fat people (primarily but not exclusively fat women) on the margins of society. These new options can include easier paths to find fat community, far better clothes, and certain limited social changes. The medical establishment has so far proved almost completely intractable to change, and social media platforms continue to spotlight conventionally thin – and often impossibly thin – beauty ideals. Because of these two seemingly immovable factors, the expansion of the margins has not successfully affected the central experience of fat oppression. It is somewhat easier, and potentially much less lonely, to be fat in 2021 than it was in 1991, but fat people remain a substantially marginalized and socially excluded group. Fat people with intersectional oppressions (BIPOC, disabled, and many more) continue to experience complex multiple axes of exclusion. We use a mix of academic and personal sources, and the article is illustrated with Laurie Toby Edison’s photographs of fat nudes.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"31 18","pages":"456 - 471"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72372157","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}

An excessively mundane mortuary assistant, she falls in love with a married nonfat man, Huber. The protagonist stalks Huber at his job, coaxing him with food until he finally comes over for dinner. There, their passionate affair begins and abruptly ends – “unsuccessful” and fugacious – typically leaving the fat protagonist alone once again. Yet Zuckerbaby’s complex form and seemingly straightforward end beg to be re-interpreted via formal film techniques to showcase the complicated nature and rich lasting presence of this fat/nonfat relationship. Using notions of serious camp and fatt queer history, I explore how elements of perishability permeate the lovers’ relationship and create a formal, visual cinematic space without hierarchy of future and past. This allows both the film's protagonist lovers as well as the film's viewers to resist normative romantic notions of the future and instead revel in the fulfilling elements of a new present influenced by the past, or idea “the fat before” of serious camp. Just as the protagonist extends her hand and offers the viewer a candy bar, I argue the audience is beckoned to look with new notions of delicious fugacity in the present. Liberating their affair from mundane plot elements and an oppressive, one-dimensional fat love rooted in notions of a “successful” future, Adlon’s Zuckerbaby offers a movingly rich, fulfilling, and complexly present portrayal of a fat relationship when re-read via an academic lens.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"76 1","pages":"299 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82356381","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}

The lattes occurs largely in insular online communities, while media portrayals of fat bodies skew heavily toward the former. Fat bodies, in this paradigm, are distinctly not bodies worthy of romantic love and attention. Without downplaying the deeply rooted fat phobias that plague many cultures, we propose that part of this issue is linguistic, and hence conceptual: we currently have no non-fetishized vocabulary for describing people, of whatever size, who are attracted to fat bodies, and therefore lack a conceptual framework for understanding how fat bodies participate in romantic relationships. We hope to show that combating the stigma of intersectional fat attraction remains ideologically difficult if we lack the critical language for describing and articulating the complexities of what we call fat-forward sexualities. This framework, we argue, reclaims fat admiration as a non-binary sexual identity, giving those who resonate with fat-forward a platform for articulating their experience that extends beyond fat fetishism.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"40 1","pages":"205 - 219"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82473543","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}

I analyze the weight-loss shows Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian from the US, and Rakas, Sinusta on Tullut Pullukka (Honey, You’ve Become Chubby) from Finland, investigating how relationship and body size norms, gender, and the self intertwine. I examine the shows in light of Foucault’s theory of normalization. Here, normalization not only refers to the normalization of the body but also of the relationship(s) required to achieve a valid self. I suggest that the shows express a parallel between being single and on the verge of society and being fat and being on the verge of society; through solving one of the deviations (in this case, becoming thin) the other deviation (being single) can be changed and thus a “normal” life can be achieved. People learn how to normalize their bodies and their relationships, which in the end paves the way for the idea that a good body/dieting is the precondition for a relationship and an acceptable self. The shows thus reinforce that a thin body is the basis for an appropriate self and fulfilling life.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"64 1","pages":"286 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90501548","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}

Trump in U.S. late-night talk shows such as Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel Live! During his presidency, these and other late-night hosts stressed that Trump was unfit for office, a sentiment often supported by fat-shaming discourses and imagery of the spectacular transgressions of Trump’s fat, male body that deemed his body as unfit for office as well. In these comedic segments, Trump’s fat, male body was utilized as a visualization of his incompetence, failures, and moral shortfalls. As I argue, these fat-shaming discourses are not merely aimed at making visible Trump’s lack of qualifications for the presidency, they result from deeply ingrained stigmatizations of fatness in popular culture. Specifically, I look at the unstable position of fat masculinity in U.S. public imagination, the dangers it supposedly poses to hegemonic masculinity, and the ways in which its intersection with whiteness (in this case Trump’s whiteness) informs this position. Satire, as a specific kind of communication, functions as a catalyst for anti-fat attitudes that are presented as political commentary.","PeriodicalId":37967,"journal":{"name":"Fat Studies-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society","volume":"21 1","pages":"333 - 346"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81322227","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}
