Abstract

This MA course delves into the multifaceted realms of consumption through the lenses of history and anthropology. Students will navigate through the historical trajectories of consumption, observing how societies in socialist and capitalist frameworks have produced, distributed, and consumed goods and services over time. They will be equipped to critically analyze consumer culture, assess its societal implications, and discern its role in shaping identities and social structures within varying economic systems. Engaging with key theoretical texts, empirical studies, visual materials, and case studies, students will be able to deepen their knowledge and critical thinking skills in analyzing consumption within diverse social and historical contexts.
