The author explores how consumption affects personal identity and social position, developing a sociological analysis using theories of practice to account for everyday consumption, its role in the social order, and its consequences for environmental sustainability. The book offers a controversial analysis which explains consumption not in terms of the purchasing of commodities but of the organization and coordination of daily practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConsumption\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to scholars and students of sociology, anthropology, geography, cultural studies, consumer research, business studies and social theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275639185559,"sku":"9781349717866","price":2038.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781349717866.webp?v=1769283514","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/consumption-a-sociological-analysis-9781349717866","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
