Abstract

This paper develops an analysis of the Jacques Tati’s movie picture Playtime (1967), from which are discussed matters related to consumption, work environment  and human communication, mediated by contemporary architecture and technological disposals. The theoretic frame is based on Walter Benjamin’s studies about Paris and the Universal Expositions, as well as
on Beatriz Sarlos’s thoughts on consumption spatiality and Wolfgang Fritz Haug’s construction about the work environment’s
esthetical strategies within its spaces.
