Revisiting the Euroconsumer: Transnational History of European Coffee Consumption
By way of a transnational history of European coffee consumption culture we explore and revisit the notion of a European consumer market. We developed a cultural history of coffee in Denmark/Sweden, Finland, Austria and Italy covering a geocultural variety of coffee consumption cultures. From these localized histories we identified a set of common themes defining the socio-cultural trajectory of the commodity’s biography. The common structures of the cultural history of coffee consumption culture facilitate the articulation of contemporary competition in European and national myth markets. The paper contributes to the cultural branding paradigm by adding the perspective of transnational history to contextualize national myth markets.
