The last decade has witnessed a clear and steady rise of interest
in consumer culture. Many commentators now argue that consumption
rather than production is the axis of personal identity and
meaningful social action - a standpoint that reverses the
traditional view that consumption is an incidental, trivial feature
in contemporary culture.
This shrewd and probing book seeks to theorize shopping as an
autonomous realm. It avoids the reductionist characteristics of
economics and marketing. At the same time it avoids the moralizing
tone of many contemporary discussions of shopping and consumption.
The book uses an interdisciplinary resource base and comparative
data to build-up a convincing analysis of the meaning of
shopping
