Consumption research is burgeoning across a wide range of
disciplines. The Routledge Handbook on Consumption gathers experts
from around the world to provide a nuanced overview of the latest
scholarship in this expanding field. At once ambitious and timely,
the volume provides an ideal map for those looking to position
their work, find new analytic insights and identify research gaps.
With an intuitive thematic structure and resolutely international
outlook, it engages with theory and methodology; markets and
businesses; policies, politics and the state; and culture and
everyday life. It will be essential reading for students and
scholars across the social and economic sciences.
In public debates, communication campaigns and public policies, it
is increasingly common to attribute to consumers and their agency
an ability to help solve a broad array of societal problems. This
tendency is particularly clear in the field of food consumption,
owing to the fact that food is both materially and symbolically
central for consumers in everyday life as well as for large scale
institutionalized dynamics. In order to shed light on the
challenges facing food consumption, this volume takes an innovative
theoretical approach, presenting four empirical Danish case studies
which are compared with other analyses drawn from the wider
international context. Consumption Challenged will appeal not only
to sociologists of consumption, risk and the environment, but also
to policy makers and researchers in the fields of geography,
communication, media, governance and social psychology.

This book questions the simplistic view that convenience food is
unhealthy and environmentally unsustainable. By exploring how
various types of convenience food have become embedded in
consumers' lives, it considers what lessons can be learnt from the
commercial success of convenience food for those who seek to
promote healthier and more sustainable diets. The project draws on
original findings from comparative research in the UK, Denmark,
Germany and Sweden (funded through the ERA-Net Sustainable Food
programme). Reframing Convenience Food avoids moral judgments about
convenience food, and instead provides a refreshingly novel
perspective guided by an understanding of everyday consumer
practice. It will appeal to those with an interest in the sociology
and politics behind health, consumerism, sustainability and
society.
