Resumo: In contemporaneity, consumption becomes a privileged space for manifestations of an ethical-aesthetic nature, pointing to political actions. We present in this article two recent controversies involving advertisements for plus size fashion pieces on foreign websites, in 2015 on the Aliexpress website, and in 2016 on the Wish website/app. We propose to analyze the two episodes articulated by the effective presence in media networks, seeking to verify their ethical and aesthetic reverberations, through the online engagements/activism of individuals-subjects who have positioned themselves about them. Thus, we intend to problematize about a political dimension, guiding us by the notions of aesthetics, politics and police present in the thought of Ranciére (2005) and the meaning of politicities understood by Rose de Melo Rocha (2009). As results achieved, we can affirm that the episodes, although they do not constitute a political action in the traditional sense, present possibilities of social gaps in daily life through consumption, approaching the notions of police and politicities.

Presentamos en este artículo dos controversias recientes que involucran anuncios de piezas de moda de talla grande en sitios web extranjeros, en 2015 en el sitio web de Aliexpress y en 2016 en el sitio web / aplicación Wish. Proponemos analizar los dos episodios articulados por la presencia efectiva en las redes de medios, buscando verificar sus reverberaciones éticas y estéticas, a través de los compromisos/activismo en línea de individuos-sujetos que se han posicionado sobre ellos. Por lo tanto, pretendemos problematizar sobre una dimensión política, guiándonos por las nociones de estética, política y policía presentes en el pensamiento de Ranciére (2005) y el significado de las políticas entendidas por Rose de Melo Rocha (2009). Como resultados alcanzados, podemos afirmar que los episodios, aunque no constituyen una acción política en el sentido tradicional, presentan posibilidades de brechas sociales en la vida cotidiana a través del consumo, acercándose a las nociones de policía y políticas.  Na contemporaneidade, o consumo se torna um espaço privilegiado para manifestações de natureza ético-estéticas, apontando para ações políticas. Apresentamos neste artigo duas polêmicas recentes envolvendo anúncios publicitárias de peças de moda plus size em sites estrangeiros, em 2015 no site Aliexpress, e em 2016 no site/aplicativo Wish. Propomos analisar os dois episódios articulados pela presença efetiva em redes midiáticas, buscando verificar suas reverberações éticas e estéticas, através dos engajamentos/ativismos online de indivíduos-sujeitos que se posicionaram a respeito deles. Desse modo, pretendemos problematizar sobre uma dimensão política, guiando-nos pelas noções de estética, política e polícia presentes no pensamento de Ranciére (2005) e a acepção de politicidades compreendida por Rose de Melo Rocha (2009). Como resultados alcançados, podemos afirmar que os episódios, embora não constituam uma ação política no sentido tradicional, apresentam possibilidades de brechas sociais no cotidiano por meio do consumo, se aproximando das noções de polícia e politicidades. Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV2023-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/article/view/1631010.18540/revesvl6iss2pp16310-01eREVES - Revista Relações Sociais; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2023); 16310-01eREVES - Revista Relações Sociais; Vol. 6 Núm. 2 (2023); 16310-01eREVES - Revista Relações Sociais; v. 6 n. 2 (2023); 16310-01e2595-4490reponame:REVES - Revista Relações Sociaisinstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVporhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/article/view/16310/8079Copyright (c) 2023 REVES - Revista Relações Sociaishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAires, Aliana BarbosaSouza, Josenilde SilvaAntonacci, Andrea Celeste Montini2023-09-22T19:45:59Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufv.br:article/16310Revistahttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/PUBhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/oaireves.journal@ufv.br||2595-44902595-4490opendoar:2023-09-22T19:45:59REVES - Revista Relações Sociais - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false
