Short Content: Forma-Mercancía is a metaphor of our daily routine regarding consumer society. Things that buy people and not people who buy things. This is an illusory recognition in a set of social processes in which the subject nor intervene nor control. The identity always absorbs an invisible violence, therefore the consumer, as such, has also become commodity.
