Resumo: This research aims to investigate the main representations of man (the masculine) in commercials published in the largest and most significant monthly magazine targeted to the Brazilian s male audience, Playboy. Therefore, the project studies the construction of the man s figure in these ads, crucial to the understanding of the imagery built by the persuasive speech of advertising in the process of creating a model based on a social narcissistic culture with a prominent profile in the media. The research s corpus consists of analyzes of full-page and double-page ads in 24 editions of Playboy magazine making a methodological cutout of 2005 and 2009 when the magazine reached its highest and lowest drawing, respectively, audited by the Checker Circulation Institute of Brazil. The visual appeal of advertising campaigns offers the possibility to split announcements, broken down into thematic groups. The contribution of Christopher Lasch s work emphasizes the way that advertising presents youth as a salable commodity in the culture of narcissism. The interpretation of the advertisements language and the communicative potential of each advertising piece are provided by the peircean semiotics analysis widely addressed by Lucia Santaella. The research is contextualized with the ongoing transformation imposed to the subject as a consumer from the studies of Zygmunt Bauman, bringing hyper consumption generated by the media, the entertainment industry and advertising
