He positions fringe styles with those of the mainstream in an overall stylistic system of society and analyses their encounters. Rigorously derived, the approach casts fresh light on the cultural and social evolution as well as the business models of the consumer industry. It provides a coherent interdisciplinary access to the aesthetic turn of society that has so far been treated with contradictory paradigms. 410 0$aEdition Transcript 606 $aConsumption; Aesthetics; Style; Culture; Distinction; Economy; Sociology of Culture; Cultural Theory; Economics; Sociology; 610 $aAesthetics. 610 $aCultural Theory. 610 $aCulture. 610 $aDistinction. 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aEconomy. 610 $aSociology of Culture. 610 $aSociology. 610 $aStyle. 615 4$aConsumption; Aesthetics; Style; Culture; Distinction; Economy; Sociology of Culture; Cultural Theory; Economics; Sociology; 676 $a306.3 700 $aMohr$b Ernst$pUniversita?t St. Gallen, Schweiz$4aut$0145467 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996419447303316 996 $aThe Production of Consumer Society$92045270 997 $aUNISA
