AIMS AND SCOPE
An outlet for the rich but largely unrepresented critical and
groundbreaking scholarship which focuses on consumerism and the market as
the site of social behavior, representation and discourse, CONSUMPTION,
MARKETS & CULTURE encourages interdisciplinary discussion in the areas of
consumer culture, consumption, colonialism, globalization, communications,
marketing, management, cultural studies and labor studies. 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.
