Abstract

Minimalism aims to reduce rampant consumerism with a focus on emotional, financial, and environmental sustainability. The purpose of this article is to reflect on how the different perspectives of mediatization operate in the minimalist process, inside the sphere of conscious consumption on Instagram. We carried out empirical research, “floating reading”, and content mapping of the main hashtag of the profile @seja.minimalista, in addition to theoretical articulation about mediatization, consumption, algorithm, and (in)visibilities of the process. Paradoxically, the results point to the prioritization of content related to consumption.
