Abstract

It is worth perceiving the worldwide popularity of the TV-format of the so-called medical show from the sociological perspective as a kind of phenomenon. The shows, where participants that struggle with complexes about various aspects of their physical appearance undergo plastic surgery, can constitute a crucial source of analysing both: 1) the transformations of the TV market and the presented offer of TV shows, which is more and more frequently positioned in the categories of emotainment; 2) the canons of
attractive looks promoted by media, which is considered in the contemporary culture as a very precious treasure as well as 3) the phenomena of publicizing privacy, which is combined with numerous other issues, described concisely by such concepts as ?the culture of exhibitionism? or ?the culture of narcissism?. The aim of this article is the proposal of a theoretic systematization of issues that are included in the three areas outlined above. In the further part of the study it will be illustrated by the analysis of the show ?Secrets of surgery? broadcast in TVN Style and TVN.
