Research project
“Social mobility, consumption, and communication in countries with a hierarchizing bias”
This project stems from a postdoctoral research conducted from 2017 to 2018 at University College London (UCL), supported by CAPES Senior Fellowship program. The main goal of this study is understanding how changes related to socioeconomic iniquities in countries with a hierarchizing bias like Brazil and India can be associated with the transformation of media and consumption practises within “emergent” groups from the poorest ranks of the population. Through an ethnographic research, the aim is to analyse how identity construction is transformed within the context of social mobility where attention moves toward aspects such as religious affiliation and digital media usage.
