Resumo: This article presents data and analyzes of an ethnographic research that aimed to map the different views and practices promoted by adepts of lifestyles that propose to reduce the consumption of material goods.The hypothesis that the concern with environmental issues would be one of the central motivations for reducing the consumption of material goods was deconstructed in the course of the study, being perceived as peripheral in the debates of the observed groups and in the interviewees' statements. What can be seen is that one of the main motivations that lead to adherence to lifestyles with greater simplicity is the search for autonomy to develop new life projects with greater well-being and happiness.

A hipótese de que a preocupação com as questões ambientais seria uma das motivações centrais para redução do consumo de bens materiais foi desconstruída no decorrer do estudo, sendo percebida como periférica nos debates dos grupos observados e nas falas dos entrevistados. O que se pode verificar é que uma das principais motivações que levam à adesão a estilos de vida com maior simplicidade é a busca por autonomia para desenvolver novos projetos de vida com maior bem-estar e felicidade.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/article/view/3946210.15448/2178-5694.2020.2.39462Conversas & Controvérsias; Vol. 7 No. 2 (2020); e39462Conversas & Controvérsias; v. 7 n. 2 (2020); e394622178-569410.15448/2178-5694.2020.2reponame:Conversas & Controvérsiasinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/article/view/39462/26789Copyright (c) 2021 Conversas & Controvérsiashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Cándido, Luara Fernandez de2021-06-08T13:37:14Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/39462Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/indexPUBhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/oaiteresa.marques@pucrs.br2178-56942178-5694opendoar:2021-06-08T13:37:14Conversas & Controvérsias - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
