Description
Consumer Culture by Celia Lury provides a comprehensive introduction to the nature and role of consumption in modern societies. This updated second edition explores the changing relations between production and consumption, examining how consumer culture has become increasingly stylized and influences everyday creativity. The author draws on a range of studies to investigate how individual positions within social groups structured by class, gender, race, and age affect participation in consumer culture. This analysis reveals the powerful role consumption plays in shaping social and political identities. By exploring these themes, Consumer Culture offers insights into the complex dynamics of modern society, where consumer culture provides new ways of creating and expressing identity.
