Fat heroines, Body Positivity and Romance

Thu, 18 Mar

Zoom

Everywhere we look at lately – television, social media, news sites and fashion magazines, government policy, etc. – we see fat women being (re)presented, discussed and marketed (at). In popular romance there is a similar proliferation of fat representation. But is it positive?

About the Event

Have you ever read a popular romance with a fat heroine?

If yes RSVP now and join our discussion!

If no RSVP now and join our discussion!

Everywhere we look at lately – television, social media, news sites and fashion magazines, government policy, etc. – we see fat women being (re)presented, discussed and marketed (at). In popular romance there is a similar proliferation of fat representation. 

Is the genre promoting body inclusivity; co-opting a popular commercial trend; reflecting the wider culture?

After you RSVP to our Romance Reading Group session (and you should, it’ll be awesome!) check our latest blog post which has a few extracts and some questions to consider for our discussion. If you have time to read, great, but come along anyway and feel free to join in the discussion regardless! The excerpts are short and you can even skim during our chat ;)
