“…This can be related to the Evil Queen's side with over-the-top image projection and societal enhancement. In real life, similar results can be achieved by lifting heavier weights, gaining more muscles, or slimming down faster for the perfect beach body (Viotto et al, 2021).…”

“…Women mostly get the maximum ambush based on skin color discrimination making them either less confident or pushing them toward an unrequited quest for getting fair skin through surgical procedures. This horde of impression management has become the key to unlocking success and gaining self-confidence (Viotto et al, 2021). The respondents played down the relevance of skin color by emphasizing the relevance of their physical but not their mental fitness.…”

“…In fact, an engagement of the body with a fitness routine prompts the engagement of the mind leading to mindful eating and awareness of food and nutrition as nurturing agents rather than taste propellers (Viotto et al, 2021). Notably, body standards keep on changing with changing societal and wellness understanding.…”

IntroductionThe aim of this paper is to explore how minimal-self impacts the body image, projecting it as a reflection of one's approach toward their health and mental well-being.MethodsThe study takes qualitative data from two countries India and Germany and draws on a qualitative study of 20 individuals who are involved in some kind of physical activity for a long time. This paper examines the body image perspectives from Grimms Brothers fairytale characters showcasing fit and healthy perspectives on Snow White side and projected and superfluous perspectives on Evil Queen side. The study also provides a model deciphering the rationale for both the reflections.ResultsThe body image projection from Snow White perspectives (success & dedication, self-esteem, bodybuilding, and cosmetic surgery) relates to positive reflection of oneself with focus on fitness, discipline, and mental rejuvenation in life. Notably, Evil Queen perspectives (unrealistic makeover, dark side of social media, gain an edge over others, and mental benchmarking with fair skin) reveal these facets as motivators to equip their body as means of physical non-verbal communication assets.ConclusionAnalysis shows that there is no clear white or black view of health and fitness projection via body image but it's a gray line that gives wholesome fitness either a holistic mental peace or a competitive or success-oriented approach.

“…Embodiment is an ontological exercise in which consumers incorporate the knowledge of others into themselves in order to have consumption experiences that represent their own values (Murphy, 2022). Consequently, it is common for consumers to resist, adapt and modify their relationship with their bodies and sociocultural values in order to achieve certain statuses or social roles in the context in which they live (Viotto et al, 2021).…”

Purpose -The aim of the current study is to investigate how consumer performativity is enacted through embodiment transformation, based on the theoretical elaboration of the body in three dimensions, namely: resistance, utopia and desire.Theoretical framework -Based on previous literature, the study proposes a theoretical framework when embodiment transformations -i.e., politics, pleasures, and affects -overlap through consumer performativity, evoking Foucauldian concepts to understand the dispositif sustained in a consumption ethos.Design/methodology/approach -The study was conducted by investigating the cosplay practice based on the use of an ethnographic Foucauldian genealogy.Findings -The results evidenced three consumption embodiments based on dispositifs circumscribed amidst pairs of body dimensions: redemption, related to politics; reward, regarding pleasure; and rapport, about affection.Practical & social implications of research -Presumably, these representations are evidence of an attempt to improve the body that represents the best way to experience this consumption ethos, which is herein called the "avatar of the self ": a governing meta-body used to mediate consumption experiences through performativities.Originality/value -Avatar of the self is an interpretation of the theoretical generalization of phenomena of consumption embodiment through performativities.
