In our daily life,women’s body anxiety is very common.The dissatisfaction with their body often affects women’s self-identity.The visual culture has brought about‘face value is justice’,and the consumer society makes women continue to practice the commercialization of the body.This article attempts to analyze how women’s body anxiety is constructed under the macro-social background through interviews with 16 post-90 s women,combined with body control,women’s independence.This article firstly analyzes how body anxiety is presented in daily life.Women’s figure has always been defined by society,and getting fat is the anxiety of women’s figure in the modern era.Body anxiety shows a trend of generalization and aging,which has a long-lasting impact on women’s life and has a wide range.To this end,women have made conscious body management through active weight loss practices.Then,this article discusses how body anxiety is constructed in modern media.Instead of words,pictures become the main media,bringing a political image.The era of traffic kings has been playing around recklessly,adding to the anxiety of the figure.In addition,the pressure of body monitoring and physical fatigue constitute the body anxiety of women in the Internet era.Afterwards,this article analyzes how body anxiety is constructed in a consumer society.The input of an ideal body,the‘meterialization’ of the body and the planning of the body constitute the body consumption culture of women.The consumer society has achieved female body expectations and trust through the induction of advertisements and ingredients,and formed a complete consumption cycle by cultivating female consumption "models".Lastly,this article explores the possibility of women getting out of body anxiety.Visual culture capitalizes the body of women,and consumerism promotes the commodification of the body.Only the rise of true women’s independence and equality can achieve body liberation.This article innovatively answers the mechanism behind the female body anxiety from a sociological point of view,helps women better understand their relationship with society,and the research has certain novelty and practical significance.
