Cultural Consumption in Everyday Life

Cultural consumption is one of the key activities of everyday life: it can say who we are or who we would like to be. This book explores cultural consumption from the postdisciplinary perspective of cultural studies. It provides a critical map of the field and brings together work on consumer culture in anthropology and sociology and work on media audiences within media studies and sociology.

Praise

"Storey has mapped out the terrain of cultural consumption in a clear and useful way....Both the expert and novice can appreciate the disparate disciplines brought together under the guise of cultural consumption....Serves as a kind of reader's guide that opens up further avenues of study."—English Literature in Transition 1880-1920
