Abstract

This arti cle brings considerati ons on women’s consti tuti on of identity and self-esteem in the perspecti ve of recepti on studies, basedon French Discourse Analysis, as a step for understanding consumption culture, one of the basic characteristi cs of the aft er-traditi onalsocieti es, where the material necessiti es are contemplated by production, but from the point of view of a symbolic process of att ribution of meanings. Studies argue on social relati ons as element s foracquisiti on of consumpti on habits, the role women in the construction and disseminati on of consumpti on practi ce in Brazil, beyond a change of habits on the part of low income groups since 1996. Themeaning of this in terms of identity constitution and establishmentof self-esteem, the relation with the contemporary environment,characterized by media presence in daily life and the role of consumptionare the aspects presented here.
