Globalization, Consumption and
Globalization is not one process but many, and its implications for consumption are contradictory. Consumer culture produced by global corporations undermines the viability of “local” products and threatens cultural diversity, while the movement of people around the globe circulates cultural difference and generates hybridity. Inequalities in the relations of production and consumption of global consumer culture raise questions of human rights an…
Globalization, Consumption and
The terms globalization and consumption combine with reference to the emergence of a global consumer culture: the same products, services, and entertainment sold in the same kinds of retail and leisure spaces (malls, plazas, theme parks, cineplexes) to consumers around the world. From luxury cars and designer clothes to jeans, t‐shirts, toys, snack food, and bottled water, markets are global rather than national. The same electronic equipment, co…
Research Note
This article locates George Herbert Mead's account of self-formation in the context of global consumer capitalism, in which the 'generalized other' is constructed as a desiring consumer. It argues for a sociology of consumer childhood that, via Mead, takes children's agency as a given and explores the implications of their interaction with the symbolic resources made available by global consumer culture as mediated by the material conditions and …
The Business of Branded Enchantment
Mapping the global distribution of children’s consumer culture and its conditions of consumption and production, this article argues that while the continuing salience of sacralized understandings of ‘childhood’ lends enchantment to the means of consumption in the children’s culture industry, it also intensifies moral scrutiny of the industry’s products and conditions of production. The article examines the strategic use of sacralized understandi…
The Return of the Repressed
Alexander's call for a cultural sociology that goes beyond hermeneutic reading to an understanding of how cultural texts are instantiated in action is considered in relation to earlier attempts to establish a tradition of symbolic analysis in American sociology. The sociological provenance of the dramaturgical model that Alexander appropriates from performance studies serves to underline the precariousness of cultural sociology as a project withi…

Commodified Enchantment
Within capitalist modernity, `children' and `culture' were ideologically positioned as `sacred' in opposition to the `profane' sphere of commerce and industry. In the last quarter of the 20th century, this romantic construction of childhood as a time of enchantment was appropriated by the `children's culture industry' and re-inscribed as a marketing strategy. Capitalist childhood was reconstituted as a time of consumption. In invoking the myth of…
