Cross Border Consumption and Community: Meanings For Warhammer Enthusiasts

Based on consumption tribe and gaming literature, this article examines similarities and differences between Warhammer gaming tribes in the U.S. and France. We discuss a number of cross-cultural themes based on in-depth interviews in each country. We then argue our results situate and synthesize the Warhammer gaming community in between postmodern and poststructural approaches, which suggests a rethinking is needed in terms of describing consumption experiences.
