Domestic Life Beyond Consumption

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this fascinating work, Louise Purbrick offers an alternative analysis of contemporary domestic consumption. She investigates the ritualized presentation of objects upon marriage, and their subsequent cycles of exchange within the domestic sphere. Presenting new material on the enactment of exchange relationships within everyday domesticity, The Wedding Present makes significant historical, theoretical and methodological contributions to the analysis of contemporary consumption.
