Talk:Consumer culture theory

Merge with Consumer Culture?
I support this merge. This article adds nothing of value to either sociology, anthropology or consumer behaviour.

Oppose a merge as per following references: - Ostergaard, Per, and Matthias Bode. “Is Consumer Culture Theory Research or Realpolitik? A Sociology of Knowledge Analysis of a Scientific Culture.” Journal of Consumer Behaviour, vol. 15, no. 5, 2016, pp. 387–395. DOI 10.1002/cb.1574 - Encyclopedia of Consumer Culture (2011) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781412994248 - The SAGE Handbook of Consumer Culture (2018) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781473998803 Print ISBN 9781473929517 | Online ISBN 9781473998803 Østergaard and Bode clearly shows that the phenomenon of CCT is worth an article of its own and should not be confused with consumer culture in general. More references on CCT is easily found by going through their article and searching for "Consumer Culture Theory" in articles listed in scientific library cataloges. SAGE Publications are able to publish both an encylopedia and a handbook at prices well above the usual handbooks shows that consumer culture is well worth writing extensively about. Sage has a reputation to take care of and when they spend good money on producing these books and expect their customers to do the same I conclude that consumer culture is well worth an article in Wikipedia. - The fact that this is not reflected in the present content of Consumer Culture shows a need for rewriting of the article and a need to expand this one. --ツツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 20:23, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
