Boards show gentle handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- An academic work that applies semiotic theory - the study of signs and symbols - to the world of marketing and consumer behaviour. Written by Elizabeth C. Hirschman, a pioneer in consumer research, the book argues that products are not just functional tools but "vessels of meaning" that consumers use to construct their identities and social realities. Hirschman moves the study of marketing away from pure economics and into the realm of cultural studies. - Products as Symbols: Every object we purchase carries a symbolic weight that communicates status, belonging, or personal ideology; - The Consumer as Interpreter: Consumers act as "readers" of the marketplace, decoding the messages sent by brands and using them to write their own life stories. The volume is structured to show how consumerism is embedded in the high and low arts of our society. Hirschman analyses movies, television, and advertisements to show how media creates "mythic" narratives around products (e.g., how a car represents freedom or a specific brand of soap represents domestic virtue). The book bridges the gap between "high art" and "commercial art," arguing that both use the same symbolic language to influence human desire and perception. It also explores the darker sides of consumption, including how semiotics can be used to manipulate consumer desires or reinforce rigid social hierarchies. Elizabeth Hirschman is widely credited with introducing "post-modern" and "interpretive" methods to the field of marketing. This book remains a key text for doctoral students and researchers in Consumer Culture Theory (CCT).…
