O Lobo de Wall Street como ilustração da Moda e do design na era do capitalismo financeiro

Abstract

This article presents a debate on the depletion of aesthetics in fashion and design in the face of contemporary futility and the way capital is generated within the financial market. It will initially define the rise of design and fashion in artistic capitalism and their symbolic importance for the contemporary consumer. After this contextualization, the article will use the film The Wolf of Wall Street to illustrate how the aesthetic sense enters into crisis in an economy that generates value from abstract speculation, creating an ignorant elite concerned only with satisfying their most latent unconscious drives to combat the irremediable civilizational malaise described by Freud.
