Managing Deviant Identity “Fat and Proud”

As you watch the documentary, “Fat and Proud,” which appears in five YouTube Videos, think about the concepts from this module, especially the seven stages of the deviant career and the strategies for managing deviant identity.

Things to think about while completing this activity:

• What are the women in this documentary trying to achieve?
• How are these women/groups of women different from or similar to other similar groups of women who suffer from other eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, and those who are not overweight (other women in dance clubs, other strippers, other political activists)?
• How does this documentary compare to other entertainment/health programming on mass media about obesity (think of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser (Links to an external site.), https://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser ” MTV’s “I Used to be Fat (Links to an external site.), http://www.mtv.com/shows ” VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club (Links to an external site.), http://www.vh1.com/shows/celebrity_fit_club/season_7/series.jhtml ” Oxygen Channel’s “Dance Your Ass Off (Links to an external site.),” Fox’s “More to Love (Links to an external site.)”…)? http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/more-to-love/

For this project, describe how the women in “Fat and Proud” work their way through “the seven stages of a deviant career” in this documentary. Discuss some of their strategies for managing “fatness” as a “master status.” How successful do you think they are in those strategies? Also, consider some other mainstream television programming featuring overweight contestants or participants and how these programs differ or are similar to “Fat and Proud” in terms of what the participants are “doing” with their status as “ fat.”

This project should be 750-1000 words in length and should draw on the readings from this module, the documentary “Fat and Proud,” and at least one other example of a television show featuring overweight people. Full episodes of “The Biggest Loser (Links to an external site.), https://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser

” and “I used to Be Fat (Links to an external site.), http://www.mtv.com/shows” are available on their networks’ web pages in the event that you have not watched any of this programming before.
