Abstract

Objective: The analytical dimension, taking into consideration the author's work as specified basis, aims to explore the performances in face of wasteful consumption, the representation that consolidates facades and socio-environmental issues.

Methodology: As methodology, a qualitative approach is adopted, through a review of specialized literature and legislation, with the analytical method as its method.

Resultados: In the end it is concluded that the expansion of consumption requires the creation of a set of masks managed by actors in contemporary society to represent and appear, concomitantly the socio-environmental dilemmas emerge, but relegated to a second plan and left aside. Under the consumer dimension most socio-environmental problems are engendered by adherence to the phenomenon of commodity circulation.

Contributions: The present paper addresses the nexus between the representations of the self in everyday life (Goffman) and the conformation of its possible connection with consumption, with involvement of pressing socio-environmental issues.
