The first edition of this contemporary classic can claim to have put β²consumer cultureβ² on the map, certainly in relation to postmodernism. This expanded new edition includes:
a fully revised preface that explores the developments in consumer culture since the first edition
a major new chapter on β²Modernity and the Cultural Questionβ²
an update on postmodernism and the development of contemporary theory after postmodernism
an account of multiple and alternative modernities
the challenges of consumer culture in Japan and China.
The result is a book that shakes the boundaries of debate, from one of the foremost writers on culture and postmodernism of the present day.
