Description
An examination of the relationship between space, place and consumption offers important insights into some of the most powerful forces constructing contemporary societies. Space and place are made and remade through consumption. Yet how do cultures of consumption discover space, and how do they construct place?
Consuming Space addresses these questions by exploring the implications of conceptualising consumption as a spatial, increasingly global, yet intensely localised activity. The work develops integrative approaches that articulate the processes involved in the production and consumption of space and place.
The result is a varied, engaging, and innovative study of consumption and its role in structuring contemporary capitalist political economies.

Praised for its insightful geographical analyses and diverse case studies, including Chilean wine and chewing gum, Consuming Space is recognised for enriching the understanding of consumption's spatial patterns. Elizabeth Shove of Lancaster University describes it as mapping the complex territory between consumption and production, while Arthur P.J. Mol notes its innovative approach to locating consumption within modern society. The book is valued for its contribution to debates on sustainable consumption and is regarded as both enjoyable and significant in academic circles.
