A Narrative Inquiry of Consumption

This paper advocates the use of narrative in studying consumption in a liquid modern world. Researchers have acknowledged the impact of life history on future consumption; however, inadequacy of theoretical and methodological bases have limited the exploration. Narrative offers a richer way to explore consumption over the lifespan.
