This paper presents, from the ascertainment of planned obsolescence as one of the main landmarks of contemporary consumer society, a link between some marxian categories – such as production cycle and time of circulation – long abandoned by various theorists in the field of Advertising and Consumption, and currently highlighted themes – as the ephemerality –, to argue about the need of reflections about Consumption that consider the material and the symbolic spheres, to the detriment of the recent analysis that, since its is based only on the second, disregard its relation to the material conditions of production.Downloads
