>The JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE is a major new journal designed to
>support
>and promote the dynamic expansion in interdisciplinary research on
>consumption and consumer culture. The goal is both to provide an outlet
>for current thinking and debate and, more importantly, to open up new
>areas of exploration. Global in perspective and drawing on both theory
>and
>empirical research, the journal reflects the need to engage critically
>with modern consumer culture and to understand its central role in
>contemporary social processes.
>
>The JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE brings together articles from the many
>social sciences and humanities in which consumer culture has become a
>significant focus. It also engages with overarching contemporary
>perspectives on social transformation, all of which give unprecedented
>importance to consumption in understanding social processes at both
>local
>and global levels.
>
>The JOURNAL OF CONSUMER CULTURE covers a wide range of topics relating
>consumer culture to issues such as:
>
>* globalization * shopping and marketing * the body * ecommerce and the
>information society * social divisions of gender, class, sexuality and
>ethnicity * commodification * aestheticisation and virtuality * science
>and technology studies * environmental critiques * popular and material
>culture * identity * taste, style and fashion * classical and
>contemporary
>social theory * economic sociology * work * production and design *
>media
>and cultural consumption *
