New perspectives on the role of cultural intermediaries in social inclusion in the UK
Based on interviews with arts administrators responsible for addressing targeted groups labelled “socially excluded,” this paper highlights new understandings of the term “cultural intermediary” (Featherstone 1991; Bourdieu 2000) within art galleries and art centres. It considers the unique role of such figures in crossing the exclusion/inclusion boundary within the arts and developing more personal approaches to marketing activities in their ins…

The news that, in the aftermath of the bidding process for the UK's representative for the European Capital of Culture in 2008, the UR government is investing 15 million [pounds sterling] in the Urban Cultural programme, raises some key issues about the way we think about culture and, in particular, about urban culture, as a source of resistance to globalisation.

Consumerism as a Way of Life
A pluralistic seduction? Post-modern consumer research at the crossroads
This paper suggests that the trend towards the conceptualisation of ‘post‐modern’ forms of consumption threatens the very basis of research into consumption and consumers. Arguing that although a fascination with the symbolic aspects of consumption has much to offer, the suggestion here is that the future of consumer research is potentially undermined by a preoccupation with post‐modern rhetoric which has in turn tended to divert consumer researc…
The Cultural Capital of Consumption
Arguing that psychology has failed to come to terms with the cultural context within which identities are established, this paper focuses on consumption as a means of identity formation in a 'postmodern' culture. It is suggested that the impact of consumption upon contemporary identities might be better understood by focusing upon the meanings with which young consumers endow consumer goods. In particular, data obtained through a participant obse…
