Abstract

In the set of the multidisciplinary studies that characterize the field of Communication, consumption has become a prominent theme which deserves analyses from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. As a common denominator, it is understood that it is a central vector in the constitution of the contemporary experience in a world increasingly ruled by processes of economic and cultural globalization. The main motivation of this article is to offer a commented cartography of the main strands of the consumption studies in the social sciences. It is intended thereby to draw attention to this theme of research and report some of the reflections in the field by dealing with the opportune theme selected by the editors for this dossier of Pragmatizes, namely culture and consumption practices.
