Individuals on the other hand started to build their own bodies and personalities with these ideal body perceptions. In the World of today surgical interventions on the body were added to the process of building and by banalization it was started to be reflected as a reality that should be ordinary. Idealized body perceptions are reflected to individuals especially women, directly or indirectly by mass media. In the study, “the effects of ideal body perception on identity building as a simulated subject” were obtained as a problem. In this context, the purpose of this study was to research the effects of TV programs on the body of individuals, especially women, during the construction of identity as a simulated subject. Similarly, it was handled why the female body is brought to the fore more than the male bodies in the TV programs based on body building. It was also aimed to examine the subjects such as whether individuals are exposed to the ideal body reality or have surgical interventions which is thought to be necessary and whether there is the fashion of body or not. Within this scope, the TV program named “Is this me?” was selected as a sample. While this program builds the areas where the participants are disturbed by surgical interventions, it also carries out an identity building through the body. During the research process, the TV program named “Is this me?” was aimed to be examined in the direction of Content and Discourse Analysis. The program was handled in four categories such as “stigmatization”, “perfect body perception”, “emotion management”, “display and concealment value”. },author={Adem SAĞIR-Merve ÖZDEMİR},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies-Social Sciences}}
