- Rhetorical Strategies of Consumer Activists: Reframing Market Offers to Promote Change Daiane Scaraboto Severino Joaquim Nunes Pereira Administración y Contabilidad change netnography Online activism consumer identity rhetorical strategies Consumer researchers have most frequently looked at the influence the marketplace has on consumers’ identity projects, while the reverse process – how consumers’ identity pr ojects influence the marketplace and general culture – is an important issue that has received less attention. Aiming to contribute to the development of this literature, we conduct a qualitative netnographic investigation of the Fat Acceptance Movement, a n online - based movement led by consumer - activists who attempt to change societal attitudes about people who are fat. Our main goal is, therefore, to investigate how consumer activists who congregate online, that is, cyberactivists, reframe market offers wh ile attempting to promote market and cultural change. We identify several rhetorical strategies employed by online consumer activists in their quests to change themselves, other consumers, and the broader culture. Our findings advance consumer research on how consumers may mobilize resources to initiate and promote self - , market - , and cultural transformations. 2013 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84128363003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=841 BAR - Brazilian Administration Review application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração BAR - Brazilian Administration Review (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.10
