Bridging Together Anti-Consumption and Consumer Resistance: Concepts, Concerns, Conflicts, and Convergence

In alignment with a growing interest in anti-consumption and consumer resistance, the roundtable will offer a discursive space to examine the various conflicts and/or convergences in accounting for consumers’ ways of opposing, escaping or altering consumption. Presented in a theatrical format – i.e. recontextualizing the synopsis, the scene and the characters –, we will show brief narratives to trigger personal views on individuals’ expression of consumer resistance and/or anti-consumption. With this roundtable, we hope to 1) expose ACR members to topics of anti-consumption and consumer resistance, 2) identify the conflicts and convergences between the two notions 3) discuss the conceptual, theoretical and methodological implications and 4) offer a platform for developing collaborative studies.
