Abstract

This article aims to discuss some of the theoretical and methodological challenges involved in analyzing the consumption practices of a fraction of the Brazilian popular classes in the process of upward mobility in recent decades. To this end, we present a qualitative research report carried out in Recife, with members of this class fraction, focusing on the challenges posed by constructing this complex "object" and the relevance of the theoretical-methodological tools of dispositionalist sociology in the analysis of consumption popular.
