{"product_id":"the-shopping-experience-pasi-falk-9780761950660","title":"The Shopping Experience","description":"The last decade has witnessed a clear and steady rise of interest in consumer culture. Many commentators now argue that consumption rather than production is the axis of personal identity and meaningful social action - a standpoint that reverses the traditional view that consumption is an incidental, trivial feature in contemporary culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis shrewd and probing book seeks to theorize shopping as an autonomous realm. It avoids the reductionist characteristics of economics and marketing. At the same time it avoids the moralizing tone of many contemporary discussions of shopping and consumption. The book uses an interdisciplinary resource base and comparative data to build-up a convincing analysis of the meaning of shopping\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pasi Falk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761950664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761950660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.12w x 0.85d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pasi Falk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065103102207,"sku":"9780761950660","price":193.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dffd0a00-6966-4c8b-8af6-e6ee07e75fc1.jpg?v=1768673006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shopping-experience-pasi-falk-9780761950660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
