In this research paper, I aim to explore the intersection of visual culture, advertising, and eating disorders, specifically focusing on Turkish media and magazine culture viewed through a feminist lens. I will examine how visual culture in Turkey perpetuates unrealistic body standards and contributes to eating disorders with a case study focusing on Hayat and Elele magazines. I will also discuss how feminist theory provides insights into these dynamics, drawing on academic research. Aside from feminist theory, I will be grounding my research on multiple theories, such as intersectionality, affect theory, objectification theory, and social comparison theory. Additionally, I will share some of the archival material I collected and some of my field notes to support my research.
