CONSUMPTION, MARKETS AND CULTURE

CALL FOR PAPERS
(please distribute)
FREE SAMPLE COPY
(please see below)
The editors, Professor A. Fuat Firat (Arizona State University West) and
Professor Alladi Venkatesh (University of California, Irvine) would like
to encourage you to submit a paper to _Consumption, Markets and Culture_.
Aims and Scope
*****************
An outlet for the rich but largely unrepresented critical and
groundbreaking scholarship which focuses on consumerism and the market as
the site of social behavior, representation and discourse, _Consumption,
Markets and Culture_ encourages interdisciplinary discussion in the areas
of consumer culture, consumption, colonialism, globalization,
communications, marketing, management, cultural studies and labor
studies. Combining theories of culture, media, gender and anthropology
with methods of
analysis in literary criticism, semiology and business management, the
journal is international in its scope and critical in its aims.
The editors consider marketing to be the ultimate social practice of
postmodernity, blending art and commerce and requiring the constant
renewal of styles, forms and images. Educating readers about the
conscious and planned practice of signification and representation is,
thus, the journal's primary aim; its second is to take part in inquiring
into the material conditions and meanings of consumption and production.
In all disciplines that comprise the social sciences, the importance of
consumption and its relations with markets and culture are being
realized; _Consumption, Markets and Culture_ provides a platform for
scholarship in this vanguard area of critical and cultural inquiry.
