Abstract
Research on the sociology of consumption has recently challenged the traditional view that consumption is simply a consequence of production. Even so, current sociological views lack a coherent approach to the multi-faceted character of consumption. This paper argues for an analytical framework that develops “a set of concepts for understanding consumption in all spheres that can support a sociological appreciation of production and the experience of consumption.”
