When dark tourism goes para-terrestrial
Consumer Culture Gothica
This essay accounts for the features of Gothic Marxism and its influence on critical streams of consumer culture research. First, the essay explores the Gothic imagination and outlines how its de-familiarising aesthetics enabled Marx to denaturalise the chimerical functioning of marketplace ideologies, their depredations, and everydayness. At the heart of Gothic Marxist critique is attentiveness to the phantasmal character of lived “reality”, of …
From Edgework to Edgeworking
This conceptual article adopts a life course perspective to reframe edgework as 'edgeworking': an ongoing negotiation of risks that reflects developmental, socio-ecological and temporal-historical adjustments throughout human life. In contrast to static and universalistic conceptualisations of edgework that characterise voluntary risk-taking as siloed, rarefied and self-edifying practices, we draw attention to the myriad transitions, turning poin…
If you like your history horrible”
By examining witch tourism in Lancashire, England, this paper reveals the ideological role that dark histories fulfil for consumer culture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, we explore thanatourism as a means for ‘post-historical’ subjects to conceive of wilder, pre-liberal worlds before capitalist realism extinguished all alternatives. Nevertheless, because of how history remains subsumed and consumed commercially, thanatourism works to support…
World not so unipolar
Four corners of the unsettling
Although consumer culture has been studied extensively for its propagation of comforting signs, symbols, and experiences that reassure us of our selves and other marketable fictions, it is also conducive to unsettling effects and affects, many of which are unintended, undesired, and unavailable for introspection. Departing from Freud's theory of the uncanny and borrowing from commentaries by cultural critics Mark Fisher and Adam Kotsko, we diagno…
Plastic
We provide a critical reading of plastic in consumer culture highlighting its furtive omnipresence and supporting role in enabling the consumption of countless products, services, and brands, including many previously identified marketplace icons. We introduce the term “passengerial icon” to explore how the iconicity of plastic is often characterised by its unobtrusive and inconspicuous presence in consumers’ lives. Like a passenger, plastic most…

Transformational retailing and the emergence of a modern brand
This article considers the role of a transformational retail setting in the development of an iconic brand identity in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The focus of this research is Liberty of London. Through experiential engagement and augmented admission, Liberty created a retail environment that challenged existing practices. Coupled with the development of a brand identity enhanced through authoritative advocacy and consumers’ alle…
Effects of muscle strength training in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome. Systematic review
During menopause, the risk of developing metabolic syndrome increases exponentially because of hormonal changes and old age. The aim is to perform a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to the effects of muscle strength training on the different parameters of the metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. A systematic review of the literature was performed in Pubmed, ScienDirect and SportDiscus using the words: Resistance training and…

Covert distinction
This paper reveals the processes by which food is used to express resistance to the mainstream and perform identity work within the hipster community of consumption. Based on the findings of a qualitative investigation, several resistance strategies involving food emerged: Vegetarian choices; Brand choices and avoidances; and Decommodification practices. We discuss how these strategies are framed by hipsters' discursive distaste for the commercia…
Creeping edgework
This article contributes to an understanding of voluntary health risk based on the regular, excessive intake of food and alcohol in the micro-cultural setting. By drawing on and extending edgework theory our aim is to conceptualise the riskiness of carnivalesque consumption as a medium for expression and performance in two separate community contexts. Using ethnographic research methods, we explore the consumption of calorie-dense, low nutrient f…

Paradox, performance and food
This paper explores the personal and interpersonal complexities of women's food-related behaviours. Drawing from the postmodern concept of paradoxical juxtapositions, the authors examine women's discourses around food, cooking and eating to discuss the embedded negotiations of tensions arising from maintaining hetero-normative femininities while accounting for their own personal and social subjectivities. Data were collected through a series of s…
