An Exploration Into Children’S Use of Brand Knowledge and Consumer Culture As a Social Resource: a Discourse Analysis Approach
This study explores children’s discourse surrounding consumer culture. It is based on a piece of empirical research conducted with children ranging between five and seven years. A focus group setting is used. Popular topics including toys, movies, and television form the basis of the discussion. It employs conversation analysis and discourse analysis in looking at the way children construct social worlds through the use of language. Conversational strategies are identified along with the knowledge and gender-based repertoires that were employed by the children as they constructed social position employing consumer culture as a social resource.
