dc.description	Este texto se propõe a discutir os atuais imperativos da beleza feminina, evidenciando marcas de uma nova eugenia em meio à cultura fitness. Para tanto, utilizo textos de Renato Kehl, destacado eugenista brasileiro que, em meio a seus escritos, propõe a exercitação física como promotora de saúde e embelezamento. A história da eugenia nos indica que esta ciência, capaz de legitimar regimes políticos totalitários e atrocidades contra a humanidade, construiu, também, um totalitarismo corporal, na medida em que elegeu a beleza como representação, desumanizando os corpos feios. As mulheres representadas pela cultura fitness contemporânea materializam, igualmente, a magreza e a simetria, construindo, assim como a eugenia, um corpo uníssono.<br>This text proposes a discussion on the current female beauty imperatives, showing marks of a new eugenics in the midst of fitness culture. In order to do so, I use Renato Kehl´s texts, remarkable Brazilian eugenics scholar, who in the midst of his writings proposes the physical exercise as health and beautification promoter. The history of eugenics shows us that science, able to legitimize totalitarian political regimes and atrocities against humanity, also built a body totalitarianism, in which beauty was elected as representation, dehumanizing the ugly bodies. In the same way, the women represented by the contemporary fitness culture materialize the leanness and symmetry, building, as eugenics, a unison body.
