| Sumario: | This article presents reflections on new market actors, and economic social
movements in particular - that is, those in which actors build a new culture
of political action that seeks to reappropriate the economy through their
own values. Some examples of this are the movements organized around
“solidarity economics”, fair trade, geographic indications, “slow food” and
consumer organization. This interface of social movements and the market
may be the most marked, differentiated and polemic trait of contemporary
political mobilizations. Nonetheless, beyond economic social movements,
this article simultaneously emphasizes and problematizes political action
within the sphere of individual consumption, that is, that which has been
referred to as “political consumption”.
Keywords: economic social movements, consumer movements, political
consumption. |
