»Commodity aesthetics. New perspectives on consumption, culture and art«
June 2010–December 2010
Commodity aesthetics, the gleaming, enticing surfaces of purchasable goods, has long been understood as constituting a significant force within the framework of a strategy of manipulation dedicated to systematically turning customers’ heads, to seducing them. The psychological, social and ecological consequences of this strategy have been a focus of a good deal of critical consumer research. In recent years, the extension, variegation and revision of established critical perspectives on capitalism and consumer society have also seen scholars turn their attention to the productive aspects of modern mass consumption.
