理想的美
尼日利亚少年HappinessEdem的人生目标只有一个,那就是增肥。
因此,她在一个“增肥室”里度过了6个月,在那里,她的日常生活就是睡觉、吃饭和长胖。
她进去时重60公斤,出来时重两倍。
在非洲的一些地方,肥胖是可取的,因为这是女性魅力的象征,也是男性权力和财富的象征。
然而,在杂志和媒体上,我们总是被身材苗条、肤色白皙的女性和英俊、宽阔肩膀的年轻男性的形象狂轰滥炸。
近视的中年模特是相当罕见的。
有些人质疑这些肤浅的美丽理想。
一种外在美的观念真的比另一种更有吸引力吗?
人体美的观念是随着时间的推移而变化的,不同的历史时期反映出不同的审美观念,尤其是女性的审美观念。
埃及人通常在绘画中画出苗条的黑头发女性,而在艺术中最早的女性形象是肥胖的女性。
这是费尔斯洞的金星,它已经有35000多年的历史了。
在17世纪早期,像彼得·保罗·鲁本斯(PeterPaulRubens)这样的艺术家也画过体态丰满、皮肤白皙的女性,这些女性被认为是当时最令人惊叹的女性美。
在伊丽莎白时代的英国,白皙的皮肤仍然很流行,因为它是财富的象征:
用来达到这种效果的化妆品很昂贵,所以只有富人才能买得起。
在世界各地不同的文化中,美丽的定义有着巨大的差异。
传统习俗,如纹身、剃头、穿孔或其他身体变化可以表达社会地位、身份或价值观。
例如,在婆罗洲,纹身就像一本日记,因为纹身是一个人一生中经历的所有重要事件和地点的书面记录。
对于新西兰的毛利人来说,它们反映了一个人在社会中的地位。
西方社会过去对纹身的评价很低。
今天,它们被认为是新一代人体艺术的一种流行形式。
对于欧洲人来说,用金属环来拉伸女孩脖子的传统可能令人震惊,但缅甸人认为长颈细颈的女性更优雅。
在印度尼西亚,把女孩的牙齿磨尖的习俗可能看起来很奇怪,而在其他地方用牙套矫正孩子的牙齿是完全可以接受的。
在某些文化中,戴鼻环或整容手术可能会被视为丑陋和没有吸引力,但在其他许多文化中,这是很常见的。
似乎在不同的年代和不同的文化中,人们总是因为各种各样的原因改变他们的身体和脸:
有时是为了让他们看起来更漂亮,有时是为了让他们显示社会地位或显示群体身份。
无论是化妆还是纹身、戒指和穿孔,不同的文化用不同的眼光看待这些事情。
这是否意味着我们都以自己的方式美丽?
