| Beschreibung: | Master and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (p. [117]-140) and index The increasingly conspicuous problems of contemporary consumerism (particularly social exploitation and environmental destruction) combined with the ever-expanding niche markets of neoliberal consumer capitalism have led, in recent years, to a skein of 'alternative' consumer practices. Ethical consumption, fair trade, consumer protests, brand backlashes, green goods, boycotts and downshifting: these are all now familiar consumer activities - and in some cases, are almost mainstream. This book suggests we can understand this phenomenon as an expanding field of 'radical consumption': for this is a world in which we are increasingly encouraged to shop for change. By examining their practices, precedents and politics, this book asks: just how radical are these forms of 'radical consumption'? It argues that we need a more expansive vocabulary and to open up approaches of enquiry in order to understand the area's many contradictions, strengths and weaknesses."Radical Consumption" therefore draws on a number of contemporary theories, terms and debates in media and cultural studies, including cosmopolitanism, reflexivity, cultural economies and ethics. By doing so, it raises a number of questions, including: Is ethical consumption merely a sop for the middle classes? Can such forms of consumption ever move beyond their niche market status to become an effective political force? Should we understand corporate social responsibility as a form of consumer-oriented greenwash? And can we really buy our way to a better, more equitable or sustainable future? "Radical Consumption" takes a multifaceted, interdisciplinary approach to examining contemporary radical consumption, analysing its possibilities and problems, mobile moralities, methods of mediation and its connections to wider cultural formations of production and politics |

Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (p. [117]-140) and index The increasingly conspicuous problems of contemporary consumerism (particularly social exploitation and environmental destruction) combined with the ever-expanding niche markets of neoliberal consumer capitalism have led, in recent years, to a skein of 'alternative' consumer practices. Ethical consumption, fair trade, consumer protests, brand backlashes, green goods, boycotts and downshifting: these are all now familiar consumer activities - and in some cases, are almost mainstream. This book suggests we can understand this phenomenon as an expanding field of 'radical consumption': for this is a world in which we are increasingly encouraged to shop for change. By examining their practices, precedents and politics, this book asks: just how radical are these forms of 'radical consumption'? It argues that we need a more expansive vocabulary and to open up approaches of enquiry in order to understand the area's many contradictions, strengths and weaknesses."Radical Consumption" therefore draws on a number of contemporary theories, terms and debates in media and cultural studies, including cosmopolitanism, reflexivity, cultural economies and ethics. By doing so, it raises a number of questions, including: Is ethical consumption merely a sop for the middle classes? Can such forms of consumption ever move beyond their niche market status to become an effective political force? Should we understand corporate social responsibility as a form of consumer-oriented greenwash? And can we really buy our way to a better, more equitable or sustainable future? "Radical Consumption" takes a multifaceted, interdisciplinary approach to examining contemporary radical consumption, analysing its possibilities and problems, mobile moralities, methods of mediation and its connections to wider cultural formations of production and politics SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Cultural Policy bisacsh SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture bisacsh Consumer protection fast Consumption (Economics) / Moral and ethical aspects fast Consumption (Economics) / Social aspects fast Culture / Economic aspects fast Environmentalism / Economic aspects fast Green products fast Sustainable development / Economic aspects fast Ethik Gesellschaft Nachhaltigkeit Consumption (Economics) Social aspects Consumption (Economics) Moral and ethical aspects Sustainable development Economic aspects Environmentalism Economic aspects Culture Economic aspects Green products Consumer protection Verbraucherverhalten (DE-588)4062644-1 gnd rswk-swf Konsumerismus (DE-588)4114289-5 gnd rswk-swf Fairer Handel (DE-588)4360045-1 gnd rswk-swf Nachhaltigkeit (DE-588)4326464-5 gnd rswk-swf Globalisierung (DE-588)4557997-0 gnd rswk-swf Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 gnd rswk-swf Globalisierung (DE-588)4557997-0 s Fairer Handel (DE-588)4360045-1 s Verbraucherverhalten (DE-588)4062644-1 s Nachhaltigkeit (DE-588)4326464-5 s 1\p DE-604 Konsumerismus (DE-588)4114289-5 s Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 0-335-22153-X http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=265855 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
