Summary

In this article, the different cultural reasons for fasting and the sense ; acquired by food, and its avoidance as a means of marking a difference and social control. The emergence and dissemination of the body ideal based on thinness is analysed together with the way in which, for women, corporal experiences canalise and express individual and social identities.
