This book is concerned with the social, cultural and personal implications of this shift. The technologically-driven world we live in is no closer to securing the utopian ideal of a leisure society. Instead, the pursuit of leisure is often an attempt to escape our everyday existence. Exploring examples including sport, architecture, travel and social media, Steven Miles investigates how consumer culture has colonised 'experiences', revealing the ideological and psycho-social tensions at the heart of the 'experience society'. The first critical analysis of the experience economy by a UK sociologist sheds light on capitalism's ever more sophisticated infiltration of the everyday. 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Consumer Behavior$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 610 $aBusiness & Economics 610 $aConsumer Behavior 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Consumer Behavior 615 0$aEconomics 676 $a306.3 700 $aMiles$b Steven$0302705 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910433240703321 996 $aThe Experience Society$92565942 997 $aUNINA
