Resumo

Na medida em que estudos empíricos apresentam detalhes sobre práticas locais e interpretações sobre a beleza, é necessário discutir a ideologia de beleza ou ideologias em geral na América Latina, pois elas são compartilhadas com a história do colonialismo e o caminho que as referências de beleza viajam facilmente entre as fronteiras nacionais atualmente. Essas imagens não ditam, mas informam o caminho no qual a mulher (e o homem) constrói seu corpo nas sociedades latinoamericanas. O propósito deste artigo é desenvolver uma teoria das ideologias da beleza latino-americana que se apoia e se move através de uma pesquisa empírica. Além de apresentar uma exaustiva tipologia, alguns conceitos devem ser considerados com o objetivo de estimular o debate acadêmico e a discussão. São identificados dois aspectos da ideologia da beleza: 1) a aceitação da artificialidade; e 2) a mobilidade racial.
