Readily accessible case studies describe familiar forms of consumption from areas of everyday life, grounding the debates and ideas discussed. br While each of the chapters crystallize the debate in a specific subject area, they also lie within a larger argument concerning the ethics, the poetics, and the politics of consumption in everyday life, making this essential reading for undergraduates in cultural studies, sociology, and cultural geography courses. |
