Drawing from Hegel, Marx, Munn, and Simmel, the discussion delves into the physicality of the material world and attempts to understand materialism as a form of cultural expression. Targeting mass production as the root of mass consumption, rather than the result, this book positions material goods at odds with genuine social interaction and questions these relationships from the abstract to the intensely specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Objectification 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Hegel and Objectification 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Marx: Objectification as Rupture 34\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Munn: Objectification as Culture 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Simmel: Objectification as Modernity 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Material Culture 83\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Humility of Objects 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Artefacts in their Contexts 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Mass Consumption 131\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Study of Consumption 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Object Domains, Ideology and Interests 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Towards a Theory of Consumption 178\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 233\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52463028011288,"sku":"9780631156055","price":32.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631156055.jpg?v=1785545865","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/material-culture-and-mass-consumerism-paperback-softback-9780631156055","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
