Consumption studies has grown tremendously in the past decade.
Researchers in sociology, geography, anthropology, history,
marketing, management, organization and even art history have
embraced consumption as a key institution of our era, and are eager
for ideas and insights. Conversations on Consumption makes an
important contribution to the growing field of consumption studies
by offering readers a lively introduction to debates and dialogues
that have shaped the field, in the form of engaging interviews and
personal reflections from leading theorists and researchers. The
interviews in this collection were first published in the
interdisciplinary journal Consumption Markets and Culture and
together form an accessible summary of the leading ideas and key
developments in consumption studies and social theory over the past
two decades. With innovative contributions from marketing
academics, historians, consumer researchers, sociologists,
anthropologists and artists, the pieces highlight the
interdisciplinary nature of consumption, as well as the
wide-ranging interest in consumption studies. They are united in
their approach to understand consumption, far removed from economic
or managerial analysis, by focusing more on the role it plays in
culture. Conversations on Consumption will be of interest to
scholars and students of sociology, anthropology, consumer
research, management studies, and history.
