Explorations in Consumer Culture Theory
Taylor and Francis 2008; US$ 36.95The literature of marketplace behaviour, long dominated by economic and psychological discourse, has matured in the last decade to reveal the vast expanse of consumption activity not adequately addressed ? in either theoretical or empirical perspective - by the discipline's favoured approaches.

At the heart of this research is the idea that the... more...
