Tuition: The seminar will be held in English, and is 6 ECTS credits. The number of students will be held at 25. The tuition for the seminar, which includes accommodation and meals, is 700 Euros.
Aim of the course: The purpose of this course is to critically investigate some of the key classics that constitute the foundation for many of the current perspectives in consumer research. Authors covered during the seminar include but is not restricted to Jean Baudrillard, Pierre Bourdieu, Mary Douglas, Michel Foucault, Anthony Giddens, Jürgen Habermas, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Marshall Sahlins. The learning goals of the seminar are on the one hand to provide a basic academic education for doctoral candidates within some of the major founding texts behind the current work of consumer culture theorists. On the other hand, the goal is also to demonstrate the relevance of general and classical theory for the specific empirical projects and contexts of the doctoral students.
