Consumo traz felicidade? A publicidade no centro da cultura

2011, Comunicacao Midia E Consumo

Abstract

The main purpose of publicity is to coat value, in the economic sense, with value, in the cultural sense. In no other contemporary object culture and economy are as intertwined as in the publicity discourse. I propose here a reflection of the way in which, by promoting particular economic interests, publicity operates within culture when placing consumerism as the most important meaning of life.
