Crystallization how cultural logics come together in cultural values crystallized into a highly visible form seen in the fattened body. Made seen/visible or touchable in the fat body (body ideals) Susan bordopopenoe took this crystallization metaphor from bordo (who talked about crystallization in north america"s slim body/body ideals in north american culture)/ Crystallization suggests why these bodies ideals becomes so salient so alive in different cultures the body ideals of a culture affects the people so much. When we see images we realize automatically that these women are seen as beautiful . Susan bordo-anorexic body brings together are values in a visible way. How they can be problematic, instead of just showing our values in them. Bordocritiques how anorexia is a symbolic critique of our society and culture. You can read the anorexic body symbolically as a form of protest explicitly trying to get beyond slimness/anorexia a fashion.
