Abstract

This paper provides a film analysis of Trafic, by Jacques Tati (1971), discussing issues of consumption, the world of work
and the intricate relations among people and goods in contemporary context. The theoretical framework is based on the
studies of Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard, among other authors that examine symbolic processes involving goods, from
the productive sphere to sociocultural scenarios that cover their consumption by people.
