consumption, narratives of lives, life stories.Abstract
Consumption in today's society can be considered a phenomenon that crosses several fields of study and touches different perspectives of analysis, offering a wide range of interpretations, so it is interesting to reflect on approximations with other fields. This perception made it possible to elaborate this work, which aims to discuss how the theoretical-methodological approach to life stories and narratives can contribute to the understanding of consumption as a practice of everyday life, as a broad, multifaceted phenomenon, with multiple meanings and voices. Thus, the conduct of this study points to the possible dialogues and contributions between consumption in the socially and culturally constructed perspective and the approach to life stories and narratives. Adherence points were observed among the consulted literature, relating them to the intersubjective processes of consumers based on shared experiences, which consensually offer meaning to the world, common to both fields.References
