Aprašymas
In this auto-ethnographic study I argue and explore the representation of bodybuilders identity and question whether the research is truly representative of bodybuilders or has the research been selective and sensational in dealing with the subject. By looking at current literature and theories on class, identity, and with special attention paid to bodybuilding and masculinity research and studies. Also discussing the way bodybuilders are represented in the literature and comparing to personal experiences and by using Foucault's tools and existentialist philosophy I aim to critically analyse the present, identify and explore oppressive norms and practices that have led to the mis-representation and denigration of bodybuilders, and figure out how to possibly counter those norms and practices. I do so, in part by presenting narratives of self to reveal how competing discourses surround my participation in bodybuilding in a manner that makes it difficult to present a coherent sense of self.
