Abstract

Anorexia has become subject of different research as it generates concerns in the social and familiar circle for the proximity with death where some people put themselves. Considering dissemination of blog number in the Internet where some girls bow to anorexia and search of a bony body like a “life style”, under Ana’s leadership (Ana/orexia), we do in this paper a study of dynamics body image in anorexia, starting from analysis of this blogs and having psychoanalytical point of view as analysis resource. We suppose that such attitudes reflect an obscene and transgressive image, illustrated for the desire that these girls have to reach a bony body, being printed horror of death and doing the blog a place of lusting.

Keywords: blogs ‘Pró-Ana’, anorexia, body image
