Consumption seems to be omnipresent in modern contemporary society and finds impetus in an oversupply of material goods and services. The production of goods is detached from the primary satisfaction of needs and represents a modern lifestyle. The selection of goods is not only possible, but necessary in the sense of social distinction.
From the perspective of consumer sociology, the role of consumers is particularly significant, as they are increasingly confronted with the demand for resource-conserving and sustainable consumption behavior and the assumption of personal responsibility in order to keep their "ecological footprint" as small as possible. How can problems of resource scarcity, waste as well as environmental pollution be dealt with? What can be done about the consequences of our consumption-oriented lifestyles? The environmental crisis and the associated future challenges thus call consumer society into question and face it with new challenges.Objectives:
In this course, students acquire a knowledge base of selected central topics in the sociology of consumption. Empirical materials are interpreted in student working groups. The aim is to develop an understanding of the interrelationship of the research question, the theoretical framing as well as the methodological embedding and methodical implementation and to go through an entire research process. Students may also pursue their own research interests.Methods:
Starting from the individual concern, the topic is reflected and prepared visually and narratively in a process of understanding by means of the methods of self-observation and autoethnography. Subsequently, we place selected questions on this in a broader social context. After the conception of the research design and the development of a research question, the focus will be on the collection of material as well as the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of the visual and text-based data.The detailed course program will be presented at the beginning of the semester and will be accessible via the learning platform Moodle.
