SUMMARY:

This study discusses the associations attributed to the terms plus size and fatphobia in the Google database in Brazilian territory. Here, we seek to analyze how the fat body is visible, taking into account searches carried out from the perspectives of consumption and activism. With the methodological support of the Actor-Network Theory, by Bruno Latour, a mapping of the Brazilian scenario of Google searches on the mentioned themes is carried out. Still, the concepts of surveillance (FOUCAULT, 2007) and precariousness (BUTLER, 2018) are used to understand the social dynamics in which the fat body is inserted. There are also discussions about the impossibility of platform neutrality (BENJAMIN, 2019) and the contribution of users to their dynamics (VAIDHYANATHAN, 2011).
