Abstract

Aiming to discuss aspects of contemporary societies about to their processes of cultural formation, this article presents considerations arising from an action research, which had as main reference Frankfurt School Critical Theory. The musical manifestations of a group of literacy learners were chosen as a part of social reality in order to discuss the phenomena of consumption and disposability of goods, especially cultural ones. In the context of fieldwork, emerging categories allowed a wide discussion on elements involved in the processes of cultural formation in societies marked by the sign of consumption.
