Combining theories of culture, media, gender and anthropology with methods of analysis in literary criticism, semiology and business management, the journal is international in its scope and critical in its aims. The editors consider marketing to be the ultimate social practice of postmodernity, blending art and commerce and requiring the constant renewal of styles, forms and images. Educating readers about the conscious and planned practice of signification and representation is, thus, the journal's primary aim; its second is to take part in inquiring into the material conditions and meanings of consumption and production. In all disciplines that comprise the social sciences, the importance of consumption and its relations with markets and culture are being realized; CONSUMPTION, MARKETS & CULTURE provides a platform for scholarship in this vanguard area of critical and cultural inquiry.
