Rezensionen
"Overall, for those interested in sustainable consumption, this book is an interesting look at the intersection of ethics, fashion, and power from a largely anthropological perspective. For scholars of politics or of business who are contemplating the role that consumption has in sustainable development, it raises important points about the complexity that underlies consumption, and the role of culture and fashion, as well as competing values and priorities, that must be considered. It is also an important reminder that acts of political consumption on the part of individuals has limitations as a tool of policy ... Eco-chic is a is a privileged, elite activity. - LSE Review of Books - Kira Matus A broad range of expertise amongst the contributors ensures that perspectives are varied ... interested laymen and green academics alike should find stories of interest here. - Resource - Edward Perchard Focusing on complexities in eco-chic production and consumption in the global North and South, this book offers a post-political view of political consumerism, sustainable consumption, and CSR. It provides an in-depth analysis of different eco-chic products, their ethical ambiguities, and unequal power structures. Chapters focus on pitfalls of eco-chic corporate and activist partnerships and shows how eco-chic has become an "aristocratic" lifestyle involving eco-moms and pop culture celebrities. - Michele Micheletti, Lars Hierta Professor of Political Science, Stockholm University This fascinating collection of essays takes us deep within the politics and spaces of green consumption. examining how 'eco-chic' plays out around the world - from Jamaica to Ghana, Toronto to Kuala Lumpur. The authors delve into the local and global specificities of the production and consumption of food, jewelry, fashion, and much more. The depth of research and the determination to write in a 'post cynical' manner about our everyday practices makes this book essential reading for all those who strive for the possibility of truly sustainable consumption. - Elspeth Probyn, Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies, University of Sydney, Australia This theoretically sophisticated book avoids the usual elitist condemnations of consumer politics to present a convincing argument for incorporating less individualistic solutions to the social and environmental consequences of consumption: a move from eco-chic to eco-smart. - Zsuzsa Gille, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Illinois, USA"…mehr
