Narrativa erótica publicitaria y espectacularización de la imagen de la mujer en la red social Instagram

Abstract

In this research entitled "THE ADVERTISING EROTIC NARRATIVE AND SPECTACULARIZATION OF THE WOMEN'S IMAGE IN THE SOCIAL NETWORK INSTAGRAM". First, it starts from a bibliographic reading with the purpose of knowing how the social network Instagram has turned eroticism into an effective advertising strategy to persuade a product or service and capture the attention of consumers through the sexualization of feminine images, through an erotic visual appeal. Then, it analyzes how content creators use the female figure to sell products or services through images related to feminine spectacularization, where only physical appearance, superficial beauty and fulfilling stereotypes matter. It also addresses the impact of publishing erotic images where the woman becomes a non-subject object, generating gender inequality. Likewise, the qualitative method was applied to analyze the images in order to understand their sexual connotations, the language they convey, whether the image provokes desire or seduction, the beauty stereotypes they use, female empowerment and whether women are considered an object or a subject. In the same way, the quantitative research method was used to know the reactions and comments of users in the publications. Then the results obtained after the quantitative and qualitative analysis, indicate that the female image does not have a clear empowerment because the woman is seen as an object for man's consumption, meeting beauty standards such as: thin and toned body, perfect skin without imperfections, thin and toned body, long and shiny hair, symmetrical faces, youthful faces without aging, big and expressive eyes, light skin, perfect curves, it must also present sensuality, erotic clothing, sensual poses. In the same way, advertisements repeat beauty stereotypes, pretending a natural beauty, which attracts society and generates greater persuasion about the product or service and the woman. Then, the woman is reduced to an object of male consumption that aims to serve and attract by fulfilling beauty stereotypes to generate persuasion and mass consumption. Finally, in order for women to achieve empowerment, they must be known for their skills, knowledge, decisionmaking, economic equality at work, and not for their beauty and sexualization
