In recent years the study of consumption has become one of the most important areas of knowledge in the social sciences. In business studies and marketing, the nature of consumer research has undergone a profound change. Postmodern perspectives which challenge and undermine previously held notions of consumer identity, belief and decision-making
have radically altered our understanding of consumer practice and marketing theory. Consumer Research: Postcards from the Edge is a collection of cutting-edge essays by leading exponents of postmodern consumer research from Europe and America. Topics covered include:
chronicle, composition and fabulation in consumer research
postmodern approaches to pluralism in consumer research
marketing in cyberspace
poststructuralism in marketing
semiotics in marketing and consumer research. Original and ground-breaking, Consumer Research: Postcards rom the Edge is an invaluable resource for all
those interested in new directions in business and marketing.
