Therapeutic Servicescapes and Market-Mediated Performances of Emotional Suffering
We introduce the concept of therapeutic servicescapes, defined as consumption settings where emplaced, market-mediated performances compensate for sociocultural dilemmas. Our focus is on the localization of emotions that are emplaced in specific sociospatial features and collectively reproduced through ritualized consumer performances. This ethnographic study of religious pilgrimage consumption reveals that the therapeutic servicescape comprises …
Creating a Consumable Past
Consumer researchers tend to equate successful marketization-the transition from a socialist to a capitalist economy-with the consensual acquiescence to an idealized definition of the socialist past. For this reason, little research has examined how memories about socialism influence marketization over time. To redress this gap, we bring prior consumer research on commercial mythmaking and popular memory to bear on an in-depth analysis of the mar…
Routines Disrupted
Routines are the taken-for-granted practices that form the rhythm of everyday life, making people feel secure. How do consumers manage when their routines are disrupted? Practice theorists assert that practices are important to understanding consumption and stress their shared, repetitive, and conventional nature. When practices are stable, they are performed effortlessly, producing feelings of ease and trust in a predictable world. People are of…
Networks of Desire
How is consumer desire transformed by contemporary technology? Most extant theory holds that technology rationalizes and reduces passion. In our investigation of networks of desire-complex open systems of machines, consumers, energy, and objects-we find technology increasing the passion to consume. Effects depend upon participation in the network, which can be private, public, or professional. Private participation tends to discipline passion int…

Reconstructing the South
This study explicates the coconstitutive relationships between commercial mythmaking and popular memory that arise through myth market competitions for identity value. We develop a genealogical analysis of the representational strategies and ideological rationales that two prominent New South mythmakers use to shape popular memories in relation to their competitive goals and to efface countermemories that contradict their mythologized representat…
The effect of nationality on tourist arts
Searching for Totality
This article argues that the protagonist of Sterling’s work is driven by a desire to achieve wholeness—a goal which cannot be reached until he rejects technological progress and embraces an Hegelian concept of totality. The article analyzes how Sterling employs Hegelian metaphysics as a means to acquiring this wholeness, and explicates the book by demonstrating how the characters’ decisions relate to Hegel’s philosophy. Ultimately the article cla…
