Stressing the variety of ways in which consumption is structured and organized through cultures and showing how these cultural technologies construct the person, the senses and the self, this text stands at the interface of the sociologies of culture and consumption. The text includes chapters on youth consumption, cultures of the housefold, pornography, and waste and rubbish. This will be of interest to all those concerned with the study of culture and consumption whether from sociological, cultural or psychological perspectives.
