**CALL for PAPERS**
JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE
Editors:
George Ritzer, University of Maryland
Don Slater, Goldsmiths College, University of London
The JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE is a major new journal designed to support
and promote the dynamic expansion in interdisciplinary research on
consumption and consumer culture. The goal is both to provide an outlet
for current thinking and debate and, more importantly, to open up new
areas of exploration. Global in perspective and drawing on both theory and
empirical research, the journal reflects the need to engage critically
with modern consumer culture and to understand its central role in
contemporary social processes.
The JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE brings together articles from the many
social sciences and humanities in which consumer culture has become a
significant focus. It also engages with overarching contemporary
perspectives on social transformation, all of which give unprecedented
importance to consumption in understanding social processes at both local
and global levels.
The JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE covers a wide range of topics relating
consumer culture to issues such as:
* globalization * shopping and marketing * the body * ecommerce and the
information society * social divisions of gender, class, sexuality and
ethnicity * commodification * aestheticisation and virtuality * science
and technology studies * environmental critiques * popular and material
culture * identity * taste, style and fashion * classical and contemporary
social theory * economic sociology * work * production and design * media
and cultural consumption *
