We aim to understand and systematize sense production on the context of this segment s consumption from the way intersubjective relations are settled between subjects and thematic spaces. In that way we question how do subjects allow themselves to be seen by the occupation of these thematic spaces and give meaning to sense for Paulistano s decoration commerce? As corpora were taken two thematic streets of the city, RuaTeodoro Sampaio and Alameda Gabriel Monteiro da Silva, on specific sites where concentration of decoration segment stores is bigger. As hypothesis we assume that stores organize themselves in a strategic way, according to the values practiced on the spaces where these stores are placed. These streets are presumed as strong Addressers that will interfere on subjects presence way. As a complement to our investigation we analyze Dunélli House Company, that makes itself seen by three stores on the selected sites. On these thematic spaces occur different sociability ways presentified in their enunciates that make the consumption sense to be, promoting identities and social interaction regimes. The theoretical and referential basis adopted is Discursive Semiotics, from A. J. Greimas legacy, with his proposition concerning sense generative path and narrative grammar. The development of this theory on E. Landowski s Sociossemiotics founds visibility regimes and sense regimes analysis from the kinds of interaction that happen on these spaces, as well as J.M. Floch and A. C. de Oliveira s approach on Plastic Semiotics. The conclusion points that these thematic routes are strong Addressers, able to delineate the kinds of subjects that come to be seen on selected sites and give meaning to sense regarding Paulistano s decoration commerce / A presente pesquisa estuda o comércio de móveis e objetos de decoração da cidade de São Paulo. Objetivamos compreender e sistematizar a produção de sentido no contexto do consumo desse segmento a partir de como são estabelecidas as relações intersubjetivas entre sujeitos e espaços temáticos. Indagamos assim, como os sujeitos se dão a ver pela ocupação desses espaços temáticos e fazem ser o sentido para o comércio de decoração paulistano? Como corpus foram tomadas duas ruas temáticas da cidade, a Rua Teodoro Sampaio e Alameda Gabriel Monteiro da Silva, em trechos específicos, nos quais a concentração de lojas do segmento de decoração é maior. Nossa hipótese é que as lojas organizam-se de modo estratégico em consonância aos valores praticados nas ruas que estão alocadas. Essas vias são tomadas como destinadores fortes que vão intervir nos modos de presença dos sujeitos. Para complementar nossa investigação analisamos a empresa Dunélli House que se faz vista por três lojas nesses trechos selecionados. Nesses espaços temáticos ocorrem diferentes modos de sociabilidade presentificados em seus enunciados que fazem ser o sentido do consumo, promovendo identidades e regimes de interação social. O referencial teórico e metodológico adotado é a semiótica discursiva a partir do legado de A.J. Greimas, com sua proposição do percurso gerativo de sentido e da gramática narrativa. O desdobramento dessa teoria na sociossemiótica de E. Landowski embasa a análise dos regimes de visibilidade e regimes de sentido a partir dos tipos de interação que ocorrem nesses espaços, bem como a abordagem da semiótica plástica realizada por J.M. Floch e A. C. de Oliveira. A conclusão é que essas vias temáticas são destinadores fortes capazes de delinear os tipos de sujeitos que se dão a ver nos trechos selecionados e fazem ser o sentido para o comércio de decoração paulistano

[pt] O presente estudo busca compreender o modo como se dá a representação da moda e do consumo femininos no Brasil, tendo como objeto de análise a colu-na Garotas do Alceu , criada pelo ilustrador Alceu Penna, veiculada entre 1938 e 1964 na revista O Cruzeiro e tida como uma referência essencial de moda e comportamento para as mulheres daquele período. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo através de análise textual de conteúdo, com base em referenciais teóricos que abordam discursos sobre moda, consumo, jornalismo e sociabilidade feminina a partir de uma perspectiva cultural. A pesquisa tem como referência ainda, os elementos históricos relacionados às práticas de moda e consumo femininos no Brasil, bem como à imprensa feminina e ao jornalismo de moda praticado no país. Por ser o Rio de Janeiro a cidade responsável por ditar padrões de moda e comportamento no Brasil no período pesquisado, sendo inclusive a cidade escolhida como cenário para a coluna Garotas do Alceu , tomamos a capital carioca como referência para esta pesquisa. / [en] The present study seeks to understand the way in which the representation of women s fashion and consumption is presented in Brazil, having as object of analysis the Garotas do Alceu column, created by the illustrator Alceu Penna, published between 1938 and 1964 in the O Cruzeiro magazine and considered as an essential reference of fashion and behavior for women of that period. For this, a qualitative research was conducted through content textual analysis, based on theoretical references that approach discourses about fashion, consumption, journalism and female sociability from a cultural perspective. The research also has historical references related to women s fashion and consumption practices in Brazil, as well as the women s press and fashion journalism practiced in the country. Because Rio de Janeiro is the city responsible for dictating fashion and behavior patterns in Brazil during the period studied, including the city chosen as the setting for the Garotas do Alceu column, we took the capital of Rio de Janeiro as a reference for this research.

[pt] Esta tese examina as articulações entre as dinâmicas do consumo e a formação das classes médias, através do estudo de duas importantes experiências históricas do capitalismo: o surgimento dos grandes magazines nos centros urbanos europeus entre a segunda metade do século XIX e o início do XX; a emergência dos shopping centers nos subúrbios norte-americanos em meados do século XX. De maneira mais específica, pretende-se analisar as formas pelas quais esses movimentos do consumo em expansão impulsionaram o recrutamento de grupos sociais e sua aproximação com o mundo dos bens e, nesse processo, geraram imagens, ideias e representações de classes médias consumidoras. Vamos investigar as particularidades dessas experiências, explorar as características de seus contextos e observar as permanências de seus projetos. Parte-se da premissa que o consumo é um elemento central na cultura moderno-contemporânea e, portanto, estudar suas lógicas, estruturas e significados pode contribuir para a compreensão dos valores e ideologias que orientam nossa vida social. Em um exercício de antropologia histórica, esta tese busca destacar que, além das questões e temas relacionados à economia e à produção, as experiências e sensibilidades ligadas à cultura, ao simbólico e ao universo do consumo também podem fornecer ideias, apresentar descobertas e decifrar estruturas fundamentais para o entendimento do capitalismo. / [en] This thesis examines the relation between consumption dynamics and the formation of middle classes, through the study of two important historical experiences of capitalism: the unveiling of the great magazines in the European urban centers between the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century; the rise of the malls at the north-american suburbs in mid-20th century. In a more specific manner, the thesis aims to analyze the ways through which these expanding consumption movements pushed the recruitment of social groups and their getting closer to the world of goods and, in this process, generated images, ideas and representations of consumer middle classes. The thesis will consider the particularities of those experiences, explore the characteristics of their contexts and observe the maintenance of their projects. The thesis starts from the premise that consumption is a central element in the modern-contemporary culture and, therefore, the study of its logics, structures and meanings can contribute to understanding the values and ideologies that orient our social lives. In an exercise of historical anthropology, this thesis aims to highlight that, beyond the questions and themes related to economy and production, the experiences and sensibilities connected to the culture, to the symbolic and to the universe of consumption may also provide ideas, present discoveries and decipher fundamental structures to the understanding of capitalism.

La modernisation de la fin du XIX siècle se présente en Amérique latine comme un projet économique qui prétend modifier les paradigmes sociaux et culturels existants en surmontant et dépassant les héritages coloniaux encore ancrés dans la société. L´analyse des annonces publicitaires publiées dans les moyens de communication imprimés au Chili et en Colombie, entre 1870 et 1914, nous permet d'apprécier l´émergence d´un nouvel ordre discursif autour de pratiques de consommation en rapport avec la modernisation, d´une part, mais aussi de cerner comment les nouveaux modèles d'échange de biens et de services altèrent progressivement les us et coutumes de la société, d´autre part. Pour avancer sur la compréhension du lien entre publicité et modernisation, nous recourrons aux axes de réflexion qu'énonce la nouvelle histoire culturelle, en l´occurrence celle de l'École de Francfort et particulièrement l'analyse développée par Jürgen Habermas sur la sphère publique. Nous nous appuyons également sur les apports des études culturelles britanniques mais aussi latino-américaines contemporaines. Nous avons procédé méthodologiquement, avec la recherche puis la sélection d'un corpus représentatif des objets publicitaires; nous avons établi ensuite une classification systématique de ceux-ci selon la méthode d'analyse du traitement journalistique de l'information; finalement, nous les avons examinés à la lumière des processus de production, circulation et consommation en vigueur. Cette approche systématique nourrit l´étude de leur impact et de leurs effets sur le sens, les utilisations et les significations du discours de la modernité, dans les sociétés chilienne et colombienne durant la période abordée / The modernization of the late nineteenth century in Latin America was presented as an economic project that both would modify the existing social and cultural paradigms and contribute to overcoming the colonial remnants that were still anchored in society. An analysis of the advertisements that were published in print media in Chile and Colombia between 1870 and 1914 has allowed us to appreciate a discursive order of consumption practices related to the modernization being established and how this new exchange goods and services model altered the habits and customs of the society. To advance in the understanding the link between advertising and modernization, we turn to the guidelines set forth by the new cultural history, the Frankfurt School, specifically the approach developed by Jürgen Habermas on the public sphere and the contributions developed by the contemporary British and Latin American cultural studies. Methodologically, we proceeded with the search and selection of a representative corpus of advertising campaigns. Subsequently, such campaigns were classified and systematized according to the method of analysis of press coverage of information. Finally, we examine the processes of production, circulation and consumption, as well as the meaning effects, uses and meanings of this kind of discourse in the Latin American society. / La modernización de fines del siglo XIX se presentó en América Latina como un proyectoeconómico que modificaría los paradigmas sociales y culturales existentes, a la vez quecontribuiría con la superación de los rezagos coloniales que aún permanecían anclados enla sociedad. Un análisis de los anuncios publicitarios que aparecieron publicados enmedios de comunicación impresos de Chile y Colombia entre 1870 y 1914, nos hapermitido apreciar un orden discursivo de prácticas de consumo relacionadas con lamodernización que se estaba instalando y cómo este nuevo modelo de intercambio debienes y servicios alteró los usos y las costumbres de la sociedad. Para avanzar en lacomprensión del vínculo entre publicidad y modernización, recurrimos a los lineamientosplanteados por la nueva historia cultural, la Escuela de Frankfurt, específicamente elenfoque desarrollado por Jürgen Habermas sobre la esfera pública y los aportesdesarrollados por los estudios culturales contemporáneos británicos y latinoamericanos.Metodológicamente procedimos con la búsqueda y selección de un corpus representativode piezas publicitarias, luego hicimos una sistematización y clasificación de las mismassegún el método de análisis del tratamiento periodístico de la información y finalmente,examinamos los procesos de producción, circulación y consumo, así como los efectos desentido, los usos y las significaciones de este tipo de discursos en la sociedadlatinoamericana.

While the digital market, especially the music streaming market, has rapidly grown in recent years, however the physical music segment still remains relevant in the Thai market. The Thai music market has inimitable characteristics within the market in terms of the physical music record offers, recorded musical works, and a growth trend in physical sales. Moreover, the behaviour in physical music consumption is opposite to that in world markets. Music consumption practices in the Thai market and why physical music, and CDs in particular, remain relevant to the Thai music industry are an enigma. The music industry itself has suggested that the physical music market needs to be revamped and its physical products redeveloped. In addition, the major record companies have also refocused into developing physical markets. However, precisely how this is to be achieved has not been specified. The twin aims of this study are to more fully comprehend Thai music consumption practices in today’s market and to examine how the concepts of product development could be effective in responding to consumer needs and desires. Consumer-led product development is the main concept of this study used to create ideas to enhance music CDs. This study combined many perspectives related to consumer-led product development and then applied them to construct the conceptual framework named “The Seminal Framework for CD Development”. The framework is a roadmap to create a new set of features for a new form of music CD based on the input of the music industry’s representatives and consumers. A new form of music CD which includes a new set of features is named in this study as the “prototype CD”. Also, the framework is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the prototype CD; how the prototype CD is responsive to consumer needs as far as functional and psychological perspectives are concerned. Bearing in mind the aim of this research, the researcher considered the interpretive paradigm to be the most appropriate approach for capturing consumers’ experiences in music consumption practices and for studying the opinions, points of view and ideas derived from the consumers, and the experts in music CD development. In the data collection process, this study employed the technique of purposive sampling for selecting from the population. The purposive sampling technique allows the researcher to judge and select people or prospective participants who: 1) are available to participate I in conducting the research, 2) are knowledgeable about the industry, 3) have experience related to the context of the study, and 4) can provide the reliable and detailed information required to understand the focal themes of the study. This study conducted nine interviews with the music industry’s experts, 60 one-on-one interviews and four group interviews with consumers. For the data analysis, this study adopted the manual coding analysis. The Seminal Framework determined the coding structure, and sets of data could be organised into distinct themes, such as the new features of music CDs or future positive possibilities for music consumption. This enabled, at the end of the process, an easier and more efficient identification of the experiential values derived from prototype music CDs. In addition, in more fully understanding the needs and expectations inherent in music consumption practices, such careful coding analysis helps to re-define the typology of music consumers. The typology and the concepts also facilitated the identification of music consumption behaviour in today’s environment. This study contributes a wider concept in consumer-led product development that has been applied to the context of music consumption practices and music product (CD) development.
