Anti-Consumption Research: Exploring the Boundaries of Consumption
This paper describes evolution of the anti-consumption phenomenon from pre-historic times to modern counter-cultural ideology. Anti-consumption is then defined and the various topics that could be classified under anti-consumption research outlined. Two examples of anti-consumption behavior are discussed, the rejection of specific brands and of entire product categories. Finally, a newly developed initiative, ICAR is introduced. This paper in the special session provides a conceptual overview of anti-consumption and concludes by introducing two specific studies conducted by ICAR affiliates.
