(2) What’s the connection between “the women body-building discourse” and “the confident women discourse” ? What kind of effect will this kind of image impact the existed dual-gender? (3) Can we expect “the women body-building discourse” to become a liberation for women, or is it just a new type of shackel?
To answer these, this article first discuss the relationship between ‘agent’, ‘social ctructures’, and ‘the right for defining bodies”. According to Bourdieu’s argument, agent and structures are two sides of one coins, which is undevidable─that is, social structures are both structuring structures and structured structures─both of them are striving for the right to define bodies. In accordance with, the hyper-realistic and illusion of popular culture played an inevitable role in disputing the symbolic value. Hence, postmodernism view popular culture have the power to de-construct and re-construct the “realistic”.
Accordingly, this article view “the women body-buildig discourse” have strong ties with “the confident women discourse”, and they exist side by side and play a part together, to become part of the doxa. Nevertheless, whether it is a liberation or a new shackle? Researches are disputing this issue continually, and have all kinds of optimistic and pessimistic opinions. But to this article, the greatest contribution of this phenomenon is to point out “what is women’s body, actually?”. As to this, people might reconsider the right of existed dual-gender frame, and the new possibility of women. In addition, it’s more important to rethink how to diversify the main stream and be ourselves within the few-standard doxa.
