Resumo: This article seeks to discuss consumer practices in the digital game League of Legends (LoL), from a study based on the field of communication and material culture. The objective is to understand the relationship between objects and players-subjects-consumers. In order to do so, we seek to analyze the social and cultural trajectory of these commodities in the symbolic experiences in LoL. In this perspective, according to the ethnographic method, reports and observations of the consumption of objects in LoL are presented by players from the cities of Belém (PA), Diadema (SP) and Osasco (SP). The results point to the existence of a complex web of interconnected meanings, responsible for (de)codify the objects and transform aggregations of pixels into experiences of communication, consumption and material culture.

O objetivo é compreender a relação entre objetos e jogadores-sujeitos-consumidores. Para tanto, procuramos analisar a trajetória social e cultural dessas mercadorias nas experiências simbólicas em LoL. Nessa perspectiva, e fazendo uso de método etnográfico, são apresentados relatos e observações do consumo de objetos em LoL por jogadores das cidades de Belém (PA), Diadema (SP) e Osasco (SP). Os resultados apontam para a existência de uma complexa teia de significados interconectados responsáveis por (de)codificar os objetos e transformar aglomerados de pixels em experiências de comunicação, consumo e cultura material.Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing2017-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpesquisa empírica de campo; etnografiaapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/138610.18568/cmc.v14i41.1386Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; Vol. 14 No. 41 (2017): SETEMBRO/DEZEMBRO; 146-170Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; Vol. 14 Núm. 41 (2017): SETEMBRO/DEZEMBRO; 146-170Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; v. 14 n. 41 (2017): SETEMBRO/DEZEMBRO; 146-1701983-7070reponame:Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo (Online)instname:Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)instacron:ESPMporenghttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/1386/pdfhttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/1386/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2017 Comunicação Mídia e Consumoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMacedo, TarcízioVieira, Manuela do Corral2018-04-19T18:56:41Zoai:ojs.revistacmc.espm.br:article/1386Revistahttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/oaiPRIhttp://revistacmc.espm.br/index.php/revistacmc/oaithoff@espm.br||revistacmc@espm.br1983-70701806-4981opendoar:2018-04-19T18:56:41Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo (Online) - Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)false
