Antonella CARÙ (Bocconi University, Italy)
The past twenty years of consumer research have produced a flurry of research addressing the socio-cultural, experiential, symbolic, and ideological aspects of consumption. Over the years, many epithets characterizing these research traditions have come into play (i.e., relativist, postpositivist, poststructuralist, humanistic, naturalistic, postmodern, etc.); they have been recently encapsulated into a compelling academic brand named Consumer Culture Theory (CCT). However, the very diversity of this research tradition, which is a source of richness, cannot be reduced to a sole brand name. Furthermore, the presence of different conversations, stemming from different angles of attack (i.e., phenomenology, semiotics, hermeneutics, literary theory, introspection, discourse analysis, etc.), does not preclude cross-paradigmatic engagement and enrichment.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers interested in all aspects of interpretive consumer research to discuss the ongoing cross-paradigm movements, analyse current developments and review the possibilities for integration and differentiation of theoretical assumptions and identification of the limitations of the approaches. Those who are interested in presenting a paper should submit a one page abstract Notification of acceptance: 16 January 2009
