Abstract

BARRERO TAPIAS, José Ricardo; CLAVIJO POVEDA, Jairo  and  GOMEZ SERRUDO, Nelson Antonio. A healthy and spiritual body -consumption practices and lifestyles: práticas de consumo e estilo de vida. univ.humanist. [online]. 2011, n.71, pp.175-189. ISSN 0120-4807.

This paper shows how individuals take on their lifestyles in practices revolving around a nature-based and a healthy body conception in the social spheres where they perform at ease and with relative coherence. There, consumption patterns may be evaluated, as well as the kinds of relationships that are established, and the ability to get involved with certain networks of affections and recommendations not necessarily institutionalized. Individuals move along these scenarios in building fragile and swinging lifestyles, aiming to transcend and affirming their individual identity by choosing their lifepath in a reflexive way.

Keywords : lifestyle; spheres; body; reflexivity; me.
