Description:

An examination of the psychology of consumerism and some of the ways in which the consumer subject appears in a range of writings - from literature to marketing to psychology. Bowlby examines the arguments and presumptions about the values of the consumer culture.

Synopsis:

What is a consumer? Shopping with Freud looks at some of the surprising ways in which the consumer subject appears in a range of writings - from literature to marketing psychology to psychoanalysis. Rachel Bowlby shows how ideas about consumption are brought to bear on contemporary conceptions of choice in areas that seem far removed from a straightforward matter of shopping. She also shows that arguments and assumptions about the psychology of consumers themselves throw light on genderal questions of human psychology.
