Abstract
This article presents a cartographic survey in which ways of living and ways of consuming are related. Four groups in alternative ways of living and jobs were followed by this study: a group that presents street plays, a cooperative of cyclists that provides delivery services, a cooperative of consumption formed by rural landless workers and their partners, and a group that produces homemade vegan food. We discussed the unique position of these groups in terms of consumption, especially at the intersection with their jobs, comprising certain libertarian values, or not, resistance to consumption, or not, but that primarily pointed to the subjectivities which are produced from reflections on how to live and how to deal with consumption. Finally, we referred about how ways of consuming are an expression of ways of life at the same time as the ways of consuming are the bearer of the choices on living
