Overview:
Consumer Culture Theory or CCT, as defined by Arnould and
Thompson in the March 2005 issue of the Journal of Consumer
Research, refers to a family of theoretical perspectives
which address the dynamic relationships between consumer
actions, the marketplace, and cultural meanings. CCT
researchers work in a variety of traditional academic
disciplines, and bring with them numerous approaches and
research goals. They share in common, however, a singular
cultural orientation toward the study of consumers and
consumption.
Now in its 4th year, the Consumer Culture Theory Conference
is the premier venue for CCT researchers to gather in order
to explore this shared cultural orientation. The Conference
welcomes scholars from different academic disciplines with
different theoretical perspectives, and it recognises—
indeed revels in— the plurality of research approaches and
goals.
As reflected by our keynote speakers and in various panel
sessions, a key motif of this year’s conference is hybridity
- the building of productive bridges between dichotomies
such as local and global, theory and practice, humans and
technology, and CCT and other thriving areas of
investigation (TCR, anthropology, sociology, psychology,
etc.).
