Acesso em:.1405-2210https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/14780The article reflects on the practices and social forms of consumption present in the sound system parties of the city of Belém in a complex and multidi mensional perspective. The article focuses on two blocks of social practices –drinking and clothing– and seeks to problematize the accumulated debate on the problem of consumption from a Simmelian perspective, centered on the complexity of social forms. We concluded that the social forms of the act of consumption are not binary nor permanent structures, but dynamic patterns, that allow for creativity and adjustments wich may occur between social classes and groups, practices of inclusion and exclusion, cohesion and competition, aesthetic pattern and innovative rupture, hedonism and vicarity, group cohesion and life cohesion social.Acesso Abertohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/Festas de aparelhagemTecnobregaConsumoSocialidadeFormas sociaisSoud-system partiesConsumptionSocialitySocial formsArtigo de Periódico
