Recoding the Boundary: the Code-Jamming Effects of Meta-Reflexive Practices in Consumer Acculturation
Beyond reflexively traversing boundaries (Askegaard et al. 2005), this paper shows how acculturating consumers playfully shift boundaries through meta-reflexive practices. By ‘jamming’ dominant socio-cultural codes through the ironic recoding of stereotypes, meta-reflexive practices represent a novel practice of consumer agency whereby culture is not only consumed, but also critiqued.
