Resumo: | ||||||||
The objective of this research is to provoke new scholarly
debate as it relates to the communication and the
consumption of luxury goods. Parting from the analysis
concerning key configurations on the uses of speeches and
narratives of a group of native informers -producers and
consumers of luxury goods -, it is intended to investigate a
set of representations and social relationships revealed
inside of a contemporary imaginary which defines the ideal
standards of goodtaste, beauty and success. Understanding
that the consumption of luxury goods is a process that
classifies and categorizes its users collectively; it has
launched a look onto the production of hierarchies, meanings
and subjectivity within the realm of mass culture and the
media`s appropriations pertaining to the luxury
universe. Distinction, power, and prestige appear as central
notions to the construction of this paradigm which
perpetuates itself by contemplating social order as it
confers airs of aesthetic renewal and continuous updating to
the sense of tradition.
