A Lecture Series at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften

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.

Sustainable development cooperation is one of the key prerequisites for global justice. But are the efforts deployed hitherto actually aiming in the right direction, or might offers of help, however well-meaning, in reality even be counterproductive?
