Towards a strengths-based Peer framework: How peer learning behaviours help develop ICT competencies in older adults
As populations age and digital technologies become increasingly embedded in everyday life, fostering ICT competencies among older adults is essential for promoting independence, social inclusion, and well-being. While peer learning has shown promise in supporting digital engagement, existing research often adopts a deficit perspective that emphasises limitations and barriers. This study takes a strengths-based approach, focusing on older adults’ …
Older adults’ digital competency, digital risk perceptions and frequency of everyday digital engagement
Purpose This study explores digital risk perceptions – the perception of risk related to digital environments – among older adults. Specifically, it investigates how these risk perceptions influence older adults’ frequency of digital engagement in everyday activities. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology involved conducting 22 interviews and administering 708 surveys among older adults living at home. The researchers examined how …
Playing with persona: Highlighting older adults’ lived experience with the digital media
During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns (2020-2021), almost all facets of life were rendered digital – health, work, schooling, and logistics. In this phenomenon, not only did digital access become synonymous with social inclusion but inequalities were also amplified – particularly in the case of older adults (65 years and over). Contemporary older adults represent one of the most diverse spectrums of digital media users – spanning from technologi…
Factors Influencing Seniors' Anxiety in Using ICT
The ability of older adults to engage with information and communication technologies (ICT) is crucial in today's more digital and connected world. Anxiety about and failure to adopt and engage with ICT is increasingly likely to be a barrier in daily living for older adults, potentially reducing their freedom as consumers, quality of life, independence, and wellbeing. It may also be a significant factor in social and economic exclusion. Drawing o…
Coffee: A global marketplace icon
Coffee is far more than just a beverage. It is a product that boasts an extraordinarily rich history, and its cultural identity has shifted over time. This article explores how coffee secured its status as a global marketplace icon. We argue that coffee is a metamorphic product based on its capacity to assume multiple and different cultural meanings over time. First consumed for its energizing properties and use as a medical treatment, coffee has…
Socialisation Agents’ Use(fulness) for Older Consumers Learning ICT
This research investigates the socialisation agents older consumers use to learn about information and communication technologies (ICT). We surveyed 871 older consumers in Victoria, Australia, about whom they would most likely turn to for advice (i.e., their preferred socialisation agents) if they needed help using or fixing an ICT device. They were asked to identify the most and second most likely source of advice. Participants were also asked t…
Co-Creating ICT Risk Strategies with Older Australians: A Workshop Model
As digital inclusion becomes a growing indicator of wellbeing in later life, the ability to understand older adults' preferences for information and communication technologies (ICTs) and develop strategies to support their digital literacy is critical. The barriers older adults face include their perceived ICT risks and capacity to learn. Complexities, including ICT environmental stressors and societal norms, may require concerted engagement with…
Accumulation by symbolic dispossession: Tourism development in advanced capitalism
We examine the development of tourism in the Lofoten Islands in Norway to show how the operation of symbolic capital transforms the political economy of space. Whereas prior research has explored the role of symbolic capital in the formation and operation of state structures, less attention has been given to its role in neoliberal transformations within states and efforts to open new markets and opportunities for capital. Our empirical findings s…
Reflections from the Field: Reduce Age Stereotyping through Experiential Learning: An Intergenerational Pen Pal Project
Misconceptions about the aging process and the negative stereotypes associated with older adults can impede positive social interactions and discourage meaningful conversations between younger and
Consumer Movements and Collective Creativity: The Case of Restaurant Day
Consumer movements are resolute and persistent efforts by organized consumer collectives to reimagine elements of consumer culture. Such movements often use creative public performances to promote their causes and to make movement participation more ludic and fun. However, collective creativity within consumer movements has rarely been an explicit focus of research. Using ethnographic methods and assemblage theory, this study elaborates how colle…
Marketing and the New Materialism
Modern man's unsustainable systems of production and consumption are symptoms of underlying problems in how we understand and relate to the material world. Socially constructed dualities between the social and natural sciences and between meaning and materiality have encouraged societies to indulge in magical thinking about the ability of material goods to deliver nonmaterial wellbeing, which in turn places marketing at the center of the destruct…
The Marketization of Religion: Field, Capital, and Consumer Identity: Table 1
Certain institutions traditionally have had broad socializing influence over their members, providing templates for identity that comprehend all aspects of life from the existential and moral to the mundanely material. Marketization and detraditionalization undermine that socializing role. This study examines the consequences when, for some members, such an institution loses its authority to structure identity. With a hermeneutical method and a p…
Consumption-Driven Market Emergence
New market development is well theorized from a firm-centered perspective, but research has paid scant attention to the emergence of markets from consumption activity. The exceptions conceptualize market emergence as a product of consumer struggle against prevailing market logics. This study develops a model of consumption-driven market emergence in harmony with existing market offerings. Using ethnographic methods and actor-network theory the au…
The evolution of a subculture of consumption
The power of an elegant theory lies partially in its contextuality. Each new idea, each turn in our understanding is situated in time, space, and our evolution as scholars. Meanings and the knowledge associated with them change over time. The modernity project continues to exact different behaviours from humans, and our understanding of those behaviours must keep pace. As our wider culture evolves, subcultures of consumption also evolve, taking o…
Claiming the Throttle: Multiple Femininities in a Hyper-Masculine Subculture
This feminist re‐examination of an ethnography of Harley‐Davidson motorcycle owners uncovers a world of motivations, behaviors, and experiences undiscovered in the original work. The structure and ethos of subculture are understood differently when examined through the lens of feminist theory. Through the voices of women riders in a hyper‐masculine consumption context we discover perspectives that cannot easily be explained by extant theory of ge…
