Comunicon – International Congress on Communication and Consumption – is an initiative of PPGCOM ESPM. Over the past decade, it has established itself as a plural space for dialogue on the field of communication and consumption in its multiple interfaces. In 2025, the event will be held in a hybrid format, maintaining the Graduate and Undergraduate Working Groups Meeting.

The theme for the 2025 edition is:

ECHOES OF CONSUMPTION: COMMUNICATION, ECOLOGIES, AND DISCONNECTION

COMUNICON 2025 invites reflection on the multiple circuits of consumption in contemporary society, focusing on their resonances in communication, ecologies, and practices of disconnection (whether digital, technological, labor-related, media-related, and/or market-based).
In a hyperconnected society, where media and material consumption intertwine with environmental and sociocultural urgencies, it becomes essential to analyze the impacts of these dynamics on the construction of subjectivities, the production of discourses, memories, and forms of belonging and subversion.

In the face of the growing commodification of attention and the ubiquity of digital consumption, the congress invites researchers to diagnose these scenarios and explore strategies of resistance and reconfiguration of such practices.
How do media ecologies shape the experience of consumption? What discourses emerge around the need for disconnection? In what ways can consumption practices be rethought within a context of exhaustion and ecological transition? These and other questions will be at the center of discussions at COMUNICON 2025.
