Emotions as Commodities (eBook, ePUB)

Capitalism, Consumption and Authenticity
Redaktion: Illouz, Eva

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a simple hypothesis: that consumer acts and emotional life have become closely and inseparably intertwined with each other, each one defining and enabling the other. Commodities facilitate the experience of emotions, and so emotions are converted into commodities.
