Resumo: DIY constitutes a differentiating way of personal expression, in contrast to the mainstream and is commonly linked to alternative cultures. This practice shows a discrepant character caused by a rebellious opposition to the majority currents, through the creation of its own cultural products. Cool individuals often make their own cultural products spontaneously. Coolness is a quality possessed by some people who resist traditional customs and create a new pattern. Because this level of individuality and spontaneous creation is not achieved by everyone who makes products through DIY. The objective of this manuscript is to define this quality of cool to understand these personal manifestations in opposition to the conventional and to understand the reason that will make them be desired by the public. The methodology is a diachronic bibliographic review by analysing the meanings of dictionaries and the explanations offered by authors in books, manuals, articles, and theses in various languages. The article located and analysed definitions of the concept of cool and its evolution from its origin in the United States in the 40s of the 20th century, in various countries, to its implementation in the language of trends and fashion.

Mediante su práctica, se muestra un carácter discrepante provocado por una rebelde oposición a las corrientes mayoritarias, a través de la creación de sus propios productos culturales, como las ropas o los objetos que utilizan. Los individuos cool suelen fabricar sus propios productos culturales espontáneamente. El coolness es una cualidad que poseen algunas personas que oponen resistencia a las costumbres tradicionales y que elaboran un nuevo patrón que será repetido y deseado por el resto del grupo. Debido a que este nivel de individualidad y creación espontánea no es alcanzado por todos los que fabrican productos mediante el DIY, el objetivo de este trabajo es definir esta cualidad de lo cool para comprender estas manifestaciones personales en oposición a lo convencional y entender el motivo que los harán ser deseados por el resto del grupo. El método de trabajo es una revisión bibliográfica diacrónica mediante el análisis de las acepciones de los diccionarios y las explicaciones que ofrecen autores en libros, manuales, artículos y tesis en varias lenguas. Se han localizado y analizado las definiciones del concepto de cool y su evolución desde su origen en Estados Unidos en los años 40 del siglo XX, a través de diversos países, hasta su implantación en el lenguaje de las tendencias y de la moda.O Do It Yourself (DIY) é uma maneira de se expressar, contrária mainstream, habitualmente ligada a culturas alternativas. Por meio de sua prática, cuja proposta é a criação espontânea de produtos pelos indivíduos, sejam eles roupas ou objetos, provoca uma oposição rebelde às correntes majoritárias. Assim, define-se coolness como a característica das pessoas que resistem aos costumes tradicionais e propõem a criação de um novo padrão. Entretanto, como o nível de individualidade e de criação espontânea não são alcançados por todos os adeptos do DIY, o objetivo deste artigo é definir a qualidade de cool (em oposição a convencional) presente nos produtos originários dessa prática e o motivo que os faz serem desejados pelo público. O método de trabalho é uma revisão bibliográfica diacrônica por meio da análise dos significados dos dicionários e das explicações oferecidas pelos autores em livros, manuais, artigos e teses em várias línguas. Foram localizadas e analisadas as definições do conceito de cool e sua evolução desde sua origem nos Estados Unidos, na década de 1940, passando por diversos países, até sua implementação na linguagem das tendências e da moda.Associação Brasileira de Estudos e Pesquisas em Moda - Abepem2022-03-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/article/view/147510.26563/dobras.i34.1475dObra[s] – revista da Associação Brasileira de Estudos de Pesquisas em Moda; n. 34 (2022); 86-1052358-00031982-0313reponame:Revista dObra[s]instname:Associação Brasileira de Estudos e Pesquisas em Moda (Abepem)instacron:ABEPEMspahttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/article/view/1475/739https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRuiz, María Arcas2022-03-29T19:27:05Zoai:ojs.dobras.emnuvens.com.br:article/1475Revistahttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/indexONGhttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/oaidobras.abepem@gmail.com2358-00031982-0313opendoar:2023-01-12T16:05:48.455039Revista dObra[s] - Associação Brasileira de Estudos e Pesquisas em Moda (Abepem)true
