Secondary title: |
Eating disorders - a submission or a resistance to social norms |
Secondary abstract: |
Eating disorders exist. They are present in our everyday society. In most cases we talk about them uneasily, reproachfully and ignorantly. We often link them to food and slenderness. Emotions, pain, unacceptance, denial, feeling of defeat, humiliation and inferiority are left behind. Only few are aware that people through waiver or overeating express distress since they want to become visible persons with needs and wishes for (self)respect and (self)acceptance. I placed eating disorders in social environment. Through theoretical work I have been researching the meaning of eating disorders, symbol of food and the society, which can through its actions impose control, disciplining, punishment and tendency to establish order and perfectionism. I have joined the elements of society with properties that we notice in people with eating disorders. Through interviews I was checking if these elements or properties can be linked to social systems: how society affected interviewed persons; have they internalized social norms, submit to them or felt resistance toward them, which survival strategies have they discovered and what was the dynamic of changes. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Motnje hranjenja so. Obstajajo v današnji družbi. O njih se pogosto govori nesproščeno, očitajoče, nevedno. Največkrat se jih povezuje s temo hrane in vitkostjo. Pozablja se na čustva, bolečino, nesprejemanje, zanikanje, občutke poraza, ponižanosti in manjvrednosti. Redkokdo se zaveda, da osebe preko odrekanja ali prenajedanja izražajo stisko in si želijo postati vidne osebe s potrebami ter željami po (samo)spoštovanju in (samo)sprejemanju. Motnje hranjenja sem umestila v družbeno okolje. Preko teoretičnega dela sem raziskovala pomen motenj hranjenja, simbol hrane ter družbo, ki nam lahko preko delovanja vsili nadzorovanje, discipliniranje, kaznovanje ter težnjo po vzpostavljanju reda in perfekcionističnosti. Lastnosti, ki jih opažam pri osebah z motnjami hranjenja, sem združila z elementi družbe. Preko intervjujev sem preverjala, ali so tovrstni elementi oziroma lastnosti povezani z družbenim sistemom: kako je družba delovala na njih, ali so družbene norme ponotranjile, se jim podredile ali čutile odpor zoper njih, katere strategije preživetja so odkrile ter kakšna je bila dinamika sprememb. |
