Abstract

In this text we investigate how the contrast between use and consumption could determine communicative practices and sociabilities in the context of urban public facilities and specifically in the Rio de Janeiro subway. With this framework, we analyse the institutional advertisings in the subway of Rio. We explore how, within the circuits of private profit, the user becomes client e we try to individualize the concrete resonances of this change in the subway rides.
