Unravelling the tensions in liquid cultural consumption

Drawing on Bauman’s (2000) liquid modernity and Bardhi and Eckhardt’s (2017) concept of liquid consumption, this research attempts to frame liquid cultural consumption through six tensions, namely [De|Re]materialization, [Over]Abundance, [Auto|Hetero]nomy, [Con|Pro]sumption, Access vs Possession, Commodification vs Sacralization. We conclude proposing pathways for future research.

Drawing on Bauman’s (2000) liquid modernity and Bardhi and Eckhardt’s (2017) concept of liquid consumption, this research attempts to frame liquid cultural consumption through six tensions, namely [De|Re]materialization, [Over]Abundance, [Auto|Hetero]nomy, [Con|Pro]sumption, Access vs Possession, Commodification vs Sacralization. We conclude proposing pathways for future research.
