Abstract:
A critical introduction to consumption and its geographies, this book provides an engaging summary of the consumption literature and demonstrates that consumption is intimately related to the production of space in everyday life. Geographies of Consumption provides: a detailed explanation of political-economic and socio-cultural perspectives on consumption at different scales; overview chapters on the history and conceptualisation of consumption; and thematic chapters on consumption spaces; the body and identity; commodity chains; and globalization and commercial cultures
