This thesis aims to investigate how plus-size YouTube vloggers interested in beauty products and practices represent themselves, in relation also with issues of body shaming and body positivity, and how they negotiate their representations with their audiences. This thesis will also show the viewers’ side, thus to give a wider picture of the underlying talk on the plus-size body.
