Consumption and Consumer Society: The Craft Consumer and Other Essays: Consumption and Public Life

Autor Colin Campbell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2022
This collection of high quality, largely previously published essays, analyses a range of controversies in the field of the sociology of culture and consumption. Campbell made a major contribution to the development of this field and he has a clear and coherent theoretical position which he employs to comment on interesting disputes among scholars seeking to understand consumer culture.

Containing a brand new expansive essay reflecting on consumption in the age of a pandemic and drawing out some of the conceptual and practical implications of the relationship between wants and needs, science and norms,  this synthesis will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers of consumption, consumer and cultural sociology.
