| Sumario: | In this article, we explore how the relationships between philanthropic organizations, their regulars, and donors contribute to shaping a socially and historically specific form of consumption – the consumption of donations. To achieve this, we adopt a methodological approach inspired by participant observation, conducting fieldwork at “Paliativo” – a space dedicated to donating clothing to people experiencing homelessness, located in the downtown area of São Paulo. We argue that labeling goods as donatable is equivalent to placing them on a predetermined route, wherein different consumption practices, communicative processes, and identities are mobilized and combined as the goods transition from the donor to the recipient. |
