Consumption as well as goods and services are more than just buying. Holds certain values, beliefs.

Linear economy: from recourse extraction to waste

Collaborative consumption: consumer is also a provider. Swapfiets, GOscooter.
Due to digitalisation, the role of consumers shifts:
 Prosumption: interrelatedness of production and consumption
 Prosumer: someone is a consumer but also a producer (zonnepanelen)

Socio-ecological theory and systems science: Consumption comes from patterns, physical setting and
society at large.

Taste and social constructions
Taste = evaluation. Why do we like things? Has a lot to do with social constructions

Has to do with a relative position (in society). Known by dualism: imitation and distinction
 Imitation: members which belong to the same class adopt a same behaviour and is
reproduced
 Distinction: forces people to differentiate from each other, specifically from other classes.

In other words, taste can be understood as principal of classification.
 Consumption reflects a social order, where good have a social significance.
o Social significance: goes beyond commercial value and utilitarian character. Products
have a meaning and belong to a certain group.
 Habiturs (Bourdieu): milieu with collective consciousness

Other term, almost same meaning: social stratification
 Closed stratification: class that you’re born in is the class you remain in, your whole life
 Open stratification: class that you’re in is not determined by birth, but by achievement

Social inequality: unfairness and inequality in distribution of goods and services, systematically
created through processes in society.
 Opportunity inequality: differences in freedom to achieve goals and potential

A lot depends on Socio-Economic Position (SEP): placement of persons/families based on capacity to
create/consume goods that are valued. Measured by (indicators for):
 Compositional measure: education, income, employment status
 Contractual measure: area-based, geographical. Neighbourhood, region

Consumption varies across education levels: unhealthy consumption and its consequences (obesity,
overweight) are higher for lower socio-economic groups. Because:
 Physical and economical accessibility
o Physical: fast-food restaurants close to low socio-economic places
o Economical: price for healthy food differs in some countries/areas
 Class and eating practices
o Meaning of food: rejection of plain foods
o Preparation: fresh versus prepared
o Parental-child relation:
 Middle class tries to give their kids the most healthy options
 Working class think it is own concern for kids

,  Cultural capital: some tastes have a cultural meaning, a way of excluding others (kaviaar)

Bi-directional relation: food consumption influences social position. If kids don’t get enough food,
they won’t do well in school.

Consumption in different perspectives
Life course perspective: different attitudes and habits of consumption, throughout our life.

Childhood: role of children in consumption
 Traditional: child brings money into household
 Modern: child is consumer from birth
Commodification of childhood: excessive role of consumption in life of children. Role of
consumption becomes bigger.
 Kidfluence: marketers target children in their advertisements
o Market tie-ins: adding a toy promoting a movies (happy meal)
o Trans-toying: giving food toy-like qualities: snoepringen, snoepketting
 Pester power: children beg their parents for goods
 Economy of dignity: kids want to feel included and therefore want products

Role of parents:
 Symbolic deprivation: limit of consumption of children, but still largely fulfilling child’s
wishes out of concern for social exclusion (higher classes).
 Symbolic indulgence: buy one single large gift that will be meaningful for a long time (lower
classes).

Adolescence and youth
 Consumer tribes: groups in society. Studentenvereniging, sportvereniging. Possible to belong
to more than one group.
 Brands play into subcultures to reach adolescents
 Cool hunting: hiring younger people to research what is cool.

Adulthood
 People delay adulthood more and more, so they save money for experiental experience:
extreme and unique experiences like traveling.
 Eventually, marriage and kids. Leads to consumption decisions.
 Next to kids, workplace place a big role in this phase of life. Place of social comparison.

Older adults
 Ageism: negative attitude towards older adults. Beliefs elderly are unable to contribute to
society.
 Brands play into elderly as stereotypic: health conditions and physical limitations

Giddens
Structure and agency:
 Structure: patterns that organize social life. Fixed by society
 Agency: extent to which individuals are seen as having capacity to think and make decisions
independent
