TY - CHAP ID - 1102704 AU - Martínez Lirola, María - Chovanec, Jan PY - 2013 TI - The Dream of a Perfect Body Come True: Multimodality in Cosmetic Surgery Advertising VL - Neuveden PB - Sage CY - Thousand Oaks, CA SN - 9781446273265 KW - multimodality KW - gender KW - advertisting KW - discourse KW - critical discourse analysis KW - cosmetic surgery KW - transitivity KW - gender roles KW - stereotype KW - visual grammar KW - sexism KW - discourse analysis KW - marketing KW - media representation of women N2 - The article documents the operation of multimodal and rhetorical strategies in cosmetic surgery leaflets, with a focus on the interplay between the verbal and the visual channels. It describes how advertising discourse exploits the image of an idealized female body in order to achieve its economic goals. Recipients are targeted through the application of the prevalent ideology of femininity, which in the Western context is increasingly dependent on patterns of consumption of body-oriented products and services against the background of (male) expectations of the female body ideal. It is argued that in this situation, which merges the private with the public and in which women willingly participate in the self-perpetuating ideology of men-defined femininity, women may, for various reasons, identify with the super-ideal sexualized images of women offered to them, while indulging a mixture of fantasy and reality and sharing in the guilty knowledge that their own imperfect bodies need to be fixed. The article points out that such ideologies are very effectively studied through their multimodal realizations, where the visual mode, in particular, can non-verbally draw on and reproduce stereotyped representations.
