| description | The purpose of this article is to reflect on the dynamics surrounding vegan activism and the processes of politicization of everyday life. In the formulation of this proposition, the issue of consumption emerges as an important analytical key, considering that the vegan practices are associated to a specific and selective kind of consumption which refuses, for ethical reasons based on animals’ rights, any use of animal products. In this context, boycotts and buycotts(intentional purchasing) may be considered as central elements, insofar as they constitute a first way of materializing ideas and values of an abolitionist approach to animal rights – and, therefore, are a significant tool of this political action and expression (PORTILHO, 2005; 2009). This discussion will lead to a debate over broad questions about the limits and potentialities of consumption as a political tool, its possibilities of intervention on the public sphere or even the effectiveness of this type of intervention. Aswell, it will raise the dilemma faced by these people, since the moralities implied in veganism have an extensive impact on the most diverse spheres of everyday life. |

Este artigo possui por objetivo refletir sobre as dinâmicas que envolvem o ativismo vegano e os processos de politização da vida diária. Na construção dessa proposta, o tema do consumo emerge como uma chave analítica importante, uma vez que as práticas veganas estão associadas a um tipo específico e seletivo de consumo que, por razões éticas baseadas nos direitos animais, recusa o consumo de todo e qualquer produto de origem animal. Neste contexto, boicotes e compra intencional podem ser considerados elementos centrais, na medida em que constituem uma primeira forma de materializar ideias e valores do abolicionismo animal e, por isso mesmo, são ferramentas significativas de ação e expressão política (PORTILHO, 2005; 2009). Essa discussão me levará a debater questões mais amplas sobre os limites e potencialidades do consumo enquanto ferramenta política, suas possibilidades de intervenção na esfera pública ou mesmo se essas intervenções são eficazes. Também trago à tona os dilemas enfrentados pelos sujeitos em questão, uma vez que as moralidades implicadas no veganismo impactam de forma extensa nas mais diversas esferas da vida cotidiana. 2017-06-01 2022-03-17T14:28:18Z 2022-03-17T14:28:18Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa25-2_07_consumo_politico 10.36920/esa-v25n2-7 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/38491 por https://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa25-2_07_consumo_politico/esa25-2_07_pdf application/pdf Programa de Pós-graduação em Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (CPDA/UFRRJ) Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; Vol. 25 No. 2: Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (junho a setembro de 2017) Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; Vol. 25 Núm. 2: Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (junho a setembro de 2017) Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; v. 25 n. 2: Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (junho a setembro de 2017) 2526-7752 10.36920/esa-v25n2 |
