Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this engaging new book Gerda Reith introduces the key theoretical concepts in the sociology of consumption, considering the work of Foucault, Bataille and Bourdieu, amongst others. Through this she addresses the role of consumption in the creation of individual identity and in the formation of social groups based on lifestyle and leisure pursuits. She also assesses how our concept of 'normal' consumption has grown out of efforts to regulate behaviour which might otherwise be defined as disruptive or deviant and how in the contemporary world the 'dark side' of consumption has been medicalised in terms of addiction, pathology and irrationality. In the second half of the book she presents four extended case studies of gambling, drugs, shopping and food in which students are encouraged to apply the theoretical concepts which were introduced in the first part of the book. Consumption: Regulation and Excess will be essential reading for students of consumption, sociology and cultural studies. By drawing on case studies of shopping, food, gambling and drugs, this volume demonstrates the ways in which modern practices of consumption are rooted in historical processes and embedded in wider socio-economic structures of power. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this engaging new book, Gerda Reith explores key theoretical concepts in the sociology of consumption. Drawing on the ideas of Foucault, Marx and Bataille, amongst others, she investigates the ways that understandings of 'the problems of consumption' change over time, and asks what these changes can tell us about their wider social and political contexts. Through this, she uses ideas about both consumption and addiction to explore issues around identity and desire, excess and control and reason and disorder. She also assesses how our concept of 'normal' consumption has grown out of efforts to regulate behaviour historically considered as disruptive or deviant, and how in the contemporary world the 'dark side' of consumption has been medicalised in terms of addiction, pathology and irrationality. By drawing on case studies of drugs, food and gambling, the volume demonstrates the ways in which modern practices of consumption are rooted in historical processes and embedded in geopolitical structures of power. It not only askshow modern consumer culture came to be in the form it is today, but also questions what its various manifestations can tell us about wider issues in capitalist modernity.Addictive Consumption offers a compelling new perspective on the origins, development and problems of consumption in modern society. The volume's interdisciplinary profile will appeal to scholars and students in sociology, psychology, history, philosophy and anthropology. 192 pp. Englisch.
