Consumers Of The Postmodern World: Theories Of Anti-Consumption and Impression Management

Abstract

This manuscript examines the underlying interconnectedness of consumerism, postmodernism, globalisation and anti-consumption with a basic conceptual approach. Philosophical foundations of key terminology are explicated with a juxtaposition of modernism and postmodernism to elucidate their similarities and differences effectively. Furthermore, the complexities of consumer buying behaviour in a post-modern environment, stemming from impression management and resulting in anti-consumption practices are analysed. The need to study anticonsumption tendencies as a vital element of consumer behaviour is also identified, as the traditional approach to consumer research appears inadequate and insufficient in the context of a post-modern world.
