  • Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Consumo, Mídia E Construção De
    Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: consumo, mídia e construção de subjetividades. Lara Virgínia Saraiva Palmeira UFPE/Brasil Resumo Para Charles e Lipovetsky (2004), vivemos na era do hiperconsumo na qual o consumo absorve e integra cada vez mais diferentes parcelas da vida social, guiado por uma lógica emotiva e hedonista baseada em critérios individuais. Nesse sentido, analisar o papel da mídia e dos seus meios de comunicação de massa é essencial na medida em que desempenham, enquanto construções discursivas, a atividade de provocar desejos e vontades individuais não somente no plano material, mas nas esferas do moral e do simbólico. Seguindo a proposta, este trabalho objetiva analisar como um desfile de moda, o Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show , e sua divulgação na mídia pretendem atuar na produção de novas subjetividades a partir do discurso elaborado pelos produtores do evento. As ideias acerca do produto que desejam transmitir, o ideal de mulher sexy que eles veiculam, o conceito de beleza feminina ali proposto: todos esses questionamentos fazem parte da análise em momento inicial. Dessa forma, o material analisado trata-se do documentário, elaborado pela própria produção da marca e veiculado no Brasil pelo SBT. O vídeo retrata o último desfile da marca de lingerie Victoria’s Secret ocorrido em novembro de 2011 em Nova York. Como recurso metodológico, além da análise interpretativa das falas e das imagens, a teoria sobre rituais foi utilizada por compartilhar a ideia de que o ritual permite tomar consciência das cristalizações sociais mais profundas, constituindo um domínio privilegiado de estudo antropológico. Palavras-chave: consumo, mídia, Victoria’s Secret Introdução Os estudos sobre moda, beleza e feminilidade sempre despertaram minha atenção devido a sua presença constante nos meios midiáticos e pelo potencial analítico que eles oferecem.

Instagram Claire Wilson, Honeymoon Expert at Mr & Mrs Smith What is currently the most popular destination for honeymoons?

Iconic opened earlier this year and still has availability for this summer, so that’s my insider tip!
