O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a relação entre anti-consumo e consumerismo, dois conceitos distintos, embora inter-relacionados. Para atingir este objetivo, o artigo efetua uma revisão geral dos aspetos mais críticos de ambos os conceitos e termina com uma discussão conceitual das relações entre ambos. O artigo inclui uma revisão sobre manifestações de anti-consumo, os conceitos relacionados de resistência ao consumo e a forma como o anti-consumo contribui para a construção da identidade própria do consumidor. De seguida, o artigo passa a analisar o consumerismo, incluindo a sua relação com o conceito de marketing, como o consumerismo tem sido explorado no âmbito das principais teorias do papel dos consumidores nos sistemas de livre mercado, o consumerismo ético e o consumerismo político. O artigo conclui enquadrando conceitualmente a relação entre anti-consumo e consumerismo e discutindo como estes se enquadram nas sociedades contemporâneas.
