The journal Consumer Sciences aims to foster debate on consumption from an interdisciplinary perspective, bringing together research from different fields of knowledge that shed light on the phenomena of consumption and advertising. Understood as producers of meaning, consumption and its main narrative, advertising, are phenomena that permeate all social spheres, drive the market, shape cultural maps, guide behaviors, build identities and ways of being and existing in the world, and inevitably impact the environment.
Thus, the journal is born from the recognition that consumption, in its multiple expressions, is a central phenomenon for understanding contemporary dynamics. We live in a time when consumption practices not only reflect individual preferences but also reveal symbolic struggles, cultural transformations, environmental issues, and social inequalities. In this context, the journal consolidates itself as a space for critical, plural, and interdisciplinary dialogue, bringing together research that problematizes consumption through various lenses, from communication to anthropology, from sociology to economics, from psychology to philosophy, from health to the environment, and from neuroscience to biology.
We invite researchers, faculty members, graduate students, and professionals interested in the topic to submit their articles, essays, and reviews. Your contribution is essential to expand the scientific repertoire on consumption and strengthen this ever-growing field.
