Abstract

Na sociedade de consumo, a ind?stria da beleza e os meios de comunica??o s?o respons?veis por narrativas e discursos que constroem o corpo e a beleza ideal. Esta biopol?tica normatiza corporalidades, g?neros, formas de ser/agir, padr?es de beleza e funciona como mecanismo de inclus?o e exclus?o na vida social e, por conseguinte, no mercado de trabalho. Deste modo, este artigo traz uma discuss?o envolvendo g?nero, padr?es de beleza e rela??es de trabalho. Analisando, a partir de um estudo de caso sobre o setor de eventos em Ouro Preto e Mariana (MG), como os padr?es de beleza operam enquanto fator de contrata??o no mercado de trabalho. Para tal, utilizou-se question?rios aplicados as representantes de empresas de produ??o de eventos e realizou-se entrevistas com mulheres que trabalharam como monitoras para essas ag?ncias. Assim, nota-se como as rela??es de trabalho na ?rea s?o balizadas por crit?rios f?sicos e est?ticos que n?o, necessariamente, envolvem quest?es relativas a qualifica??o profissional e compet?ncia do casting selecionado. Evidenciou-se tamb?m discursos que preterem mulheres obesas, negras ou fora de padr?es definidos para ocupar tais vagas de emprego.In the consuming society, beauty industry and the media are responsible for narratives and speeches that build the ideal body and beauty.

Therefore, this article brings a discussion involving gender, beauty standards and working relationships. Analyzing, from a case study on the events sector in Ouro Preto and Mariana, in Minas Gerais, how beauty standards operate as a contracting factor in the labor market. For that, questionnaires were applied to representatives of event production companies and interviews were conducted with women who worked as monitors for these agencies. Thus, it is noted how labor relations in the area are marked by physical and aesthetic criteria that do not necessarily involve issues related to professional qualification and competence of the casting selected. There were also evidences of speeches that prevent obese black or non-pattern women of occuping such positions
