The Consumption of Mass cover

Arguing that mass is key to understanding the materialisation of social relations, this collection opens up contemporary thinking about identity, choice and values. With new contributions by Zygmunt Bauman, Robert Cooper and Dan Rose, these twelve innovative papers draw together debates on social theory, community, materiality and consumption.

"Taken together, the chapters increase understandings about occurrences in which relations are embodied and mobilized, and explore the ′unconsumable′ in terms of what/who is excluded." Socilogy: History and Theory
