Sommario/riassunto

The community concept has a long history and a prominent place in sociological thinking, yet remains a contentious concept.  This e-book explores the diversity of current research on community and consumption, investigating, for example, imagined communities, consumption as community action and, conversely, the limitations of the notion of community.
