Abstract

The media landscape is constituted by innumerable consumption discourses. Following Bettetini’s concept of retextualization, we can remove a text (materiality of the discourse) from its original domain and transfer it to another. Like Benjamin uses Baudelaire’s poems in order to investigate the emergence of mass society, we discuss consumption and its relationships to communication, by means of Graciliano Ramos’ novel Vidas Secas [Barren Lives]. Concepts of the French Discourse Analysis will be mobilized in our discussion.
