Resumo: | The main objective of this essay is to reflect on the interrelations between the concepts of green consumption and sustainable consumption. Having in mind the existence of a widely disseminated environmental discourse in society, as well as the centrality of consumption in this same universe, one can perceive the existence of two opposite models concerning the forms of thinking and acting. While the former is configured as a model of consumption imposed by capitalism itself, and essentially resigns its practices and adopts a discourse that is to some extent convenient, the latter positions itself in a critical way and counts on essentially transformative logic. This reflection, however, does not deal with a comprehensive or definitive view on the subject. It is an exercise that starts from an interdisciplinary reading about the main points shownin the literature. Thus, the texts chosen for the preparation of this work serve not as a systematic review on the subject but, as it were, as inspirers of a reflection that seeks to better understand the issue of consumption in our contemporary society. The points of convergence and divergence in the chosen texts will be duly pointed out in the sense of drawing a path that highlights the understanding of the nature of consumption, especially sustainable consumption. |

Teniendo como telón de fondo un discurso ambiental ampliamente diseminado en nuestra sociedad, así como la constatación de una centralidad del consumo en ese mismo universo, se puede percibir la existencia de dos modelos totalmente opuestos en lo que se refiere a las formas de pensar y actuar. Mientras que el primero se configura como un modelo de consumo impuesto por el propio capitalismo, que esencialmente resignifica sus prácticas y adopta un discurso que le es, hasta cierto punto, conveniente, el segundo se posiciona de una manera crítica y apuesta en una lógica esencialmente transformadora. Esta reflexión no se trata, sin embargo, de una visión completa o definitiva acerca de la temática. Es, tan sólo, un ejercicio que parte de una lectura interdisciplinaria de los principales puntos señalados en la literatura pertinente. Así, los textos escogidos para la confección de este trabajo sirven, no como una revisión sistemática sobre el tema sino, como inspiradores para una búsqueda para comprender mejor la cuestión del consumo en nuestra sociedad contemporánea. Los puntos de convergencia y divergencia en los textos escogidos serán debidamente indicados con vistas a trazar un camino hacia la comprensión de la naturaleza del consumo y, especialmente del consumo sostenible.Este artigo apresenta reflexões acerca das inter-relações entre os conceitos de consumo verde e consumo sustentável. Tendo como pano de fundo um discurso ambiental amplamente disseminado em nossa sociedade, bem como a centralidade do consumo nesse mesmo universo, percebe-se a existência de dois modelos totalmente opostos no que diz respeito às formas de pensar e agir. Enquanto o primeiro se configura como um padrão de consumo imposto pelo próprio capitalismo que, essencialmente, ressignifica suas práticas e adota um discurso até certo ponto conveniente para seus propósitos, o segundo se posiciona de modo crítico e aposta em uma lógica essencialmente transformadora. Nossas reflexões não constituem uma visão abrangente ou definitiva. Trata-se de um exercício que parte de leitura interdisciplinar dos principais pontos indicados na literatura pertinente. Assim, os textos selecionados para a confecção deste estudo não servem como uma revisão sistemática acerca do tema, mas como inspiradores de uma busca para melhor compreender a questão do consumo em nossa sociedade contemporânea. Os pontos de convergência e divergência nos textos selecionados são devidamente apontados, com vistas a traçar um caminho para a compreensão da natureza do consumo, especialmente o sustentável.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2019-02-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/67434Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2019); 403-413Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2019); 403-413Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 17 n. 2 (2019); 403-4131679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/67434/75154https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/67434/75157Copyright (c) 2019 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Jéssica SilvaMiyazaki, Vitor KoitiEnoque, Alessandro Gomes2019-07-18T19:55:10Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/67434Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:04.416492Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |

The main objective of this essay is to reflect on the interrelations between the concepts of green consumption and sustainable consumption.

While the former is configured as a model of consumption imposed by capitalism itself, and essentially resigns its practices and adopts a discourse that is to some extent convenient, the latter positions itself in a critical way and counts on essentially transformative logic. This reflection, however, does not deal with a comprehensive or definitive view on the subject. It is an exercise that starts from an interdisciplinary reading about the main points shownin the literature. Thus, the texts chosen for the preparation of this work serve not as a systematic review on the subject but, as it were, as inspirers of a reflection that seeks to better understand the issue of consumption in our contemporary society.
