The purpose of this study is to examine the extent of which culture influences the food consumption process. More specifically, our research will focus on the consumption process of Swedish consumers, as well as their motivations when buying food products. The overall objective of our research is to analyse the extent of applicability the Swedish model of consumption might possibly have in a country like France with a strong food culture. To conduct our research, a qualitative method was used along with an interpretivist approach. This was in accordance with the overall aim to highlight social and cultural facts by analysing consumer behaviour. Based on the theoretical framework studied in the report, ten in-depth interviews were conducted on Swedish and French students. The findings include good insights and advice that retailers and suppliers in the food industry could use to improve the grocery shopping experience and make it a better fit to the consumers’ expectations. Some limitations could be observed in our research, mainly due to the language barrier, concerning both the research material and the interviews. The results were also influenced by the location of the study and the past experience of the respondents. Further research can be recommended to investigate the effect of food and culture on larger cities and in different locations. Doing so, the findings could give a more representative overview of the food consumption process. The study could also be expanded on different market niches with different age groups allowing comparisons from different generations. Another idea would be to target consumers with varying levels of incomes, in order to see to what extent income influences the food consumption process.

After the analysis of the current literature about the history of Goiás, as well as the official documents regarding military wind bands, the present study make use as its analytical bases the bakhtinian dialogism ant its main characteristics, focused on three points: carnivalization, polyphony and intertextuality. Seeking to contribute for the construction of the cultural and social memory of the former capital of the State of Goiás, the present study, in the fields of musicology and cultural history, allows the recreation of one of the possible narratives about the origins, activities and relationships established by the military wind bands with other musical ensembles and with the local society. These origins, activities and relationships are analyzed based on an interdisciplinary approach, following the principles given by the bakhtinian triadic categorization. / A presente dissertação discorre sobre a história das bandas de música militares durante o século XIX e início do século XX (1822-1937) e as relações sociais estabelecidas entre estes conjuntos muscais e a sociedade vilaboense. Com pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a história da Cidade de Goiás e documental sobre as bandas de música militares, o presente estudo utiliza como base analítica o dialogismo bakhtiniano e suas características principais, focadas em três eixos: a carnavalização, a polifonia e a intertextualidade. Objetivando contribuir para o levantamento da memória social e cultural na antiga capital do Estado de Goiás, o presente estudo, na linha da musicologia histórica e da históra cultural, permite recriar uma das possíveis narrativas sobre as origens, atividades e relações estabelecidas pelas bandas militares com outros grupamentos e a sociedade vilaboense, analisando-os interdisciplinarmente de acordo com o que oferece o eixo triádico bakhtiniano.
