RESUMO

This study aims to analyze how Boa Forma Magazine presents the human body. The corpus of this study for analysis is the editions of January and February 2005 and 2011; the editions of October, November and December 2005 and 2010. We have utilized as samples the cover articles which publish wellness and fitness. As a methodology we have applied Discourse Analysis and Content Analysis, using a qualitative approach. We have confirmed, by the analyses, that the magazine shows the human body as a commodity, reflecting the characteristics of the consumption society of the early XXI Century. The application of discursive paraphrase and interdiscourse emphasizes the appreciation of the perfect body, as a commodity, conquered by dedication, persistence, investment; therefore, the perfect body delimits prestige, honor, emulation and narcissism.
