Discipline and Liberation in Consumption
0 - Default Title
Description
Belk investigates topics such as voluntary simplicity, frugality, consumer resistance, and the pursuit of minimalism alongside indulgent behaviors, expressive consumption, and moments of liberation through shopping or self-reward. The book analyzes how consumption can both reinforce social discipline-through norms, guilt, or moral pressures-and offer avenues for rebellion, self-expression, and escape.
Drawing from interdisciplinary sources, this book sheds light on how consumers find balance between obligation and desire, structure and spontaneity, austerity and abundance. It is a thought-provoking resource for researchers and students in consumer studies, sociology, and marketing.
This title is part of the Legend in Consumer Behavior series, showcasing Belk's compelling contributions to understanding the deeper dynamics of consumption.
