The Way You See Is What You Get: Market Research As Marketplace Enactment
Based on the understanding of market research as ideologically embedded performative practices, the presentation explores how a global ethnographic market research practice in a global advertising agency enacts consumer representations and marketplace imageries. The analysis of multi-method and multi-sited data shows the influence of the initial ontological premises of market research methods as they are re-enacted in the ‘findings’ as consumers and marketplaces are reconfigured along different structures of stratification. Hence the presentation empirically substantiates the notion of markets as social constructions.
