The representation of consumption in contemporary Brazilian fiction is the subject of groundbreaking research in Everyday Consumption in Twenty-First-Century Brazilian Fiction. This study explores how our interactions with commodities connect seemingly disparate aspects of everyday life, such as eating habits, the rise of prosperity theology, and notions of success and failure. It also offers a pluralistic perspective on the portrayal of consumption in this fiction, moving beyond the narrow focus on aesthetic judgment based on binaries like good/bad or elevated/degraded that have dominated criticism of this literary body.
Current Brazilian fiction presents a rich tapestry of perspectives from which to contemplate our daily encounters with commodities and the subtle ways in which consumption shapes our lives. The narratives analyzed in the book offer a diverse spectrum of representations of existence in consumer culture, ranging from totalizing dystopia to transformative hope.
Through its comprehensive analysis, Everyday Consumption in Twenty-First-Century Brazilian Fiction sheds light on the complex web of relationships between consumption, culture, and society in Brazil. It provides valuable insights into the ways in which fiction can reflect and shape societal attitudes and behaviors, and it contributes to our understanding of the evolving dynamics of consumer culture in the twenty-first century.
