Roundtable: Consumption (original) (raw)

Abstract

Workshop Questions/Subjects: The Pink Economy/ Queer Consumption What has been the role of the Pink Economy in the Market Economy? Can we speak of a Pink Economy before the gay-liberation movement? What is the history, development, and significance of queer consumption? What is queer about queer consumption? Consumption in the Interwar Period Between pre-WWI market expansion and post-WWII austerity is a period underdeveloped by scholars of consumption, when understandings of consumption and citizenship, the market and economics, and gender and sexuality were all shifting. How does examining the interrelation of these factors help us re-examine the importance of the interwar period, particularly in manufacturing new cultural frameworks at the heart of post-war society? And what impact would they have on the continuing development of mass consumer culture in the twentieth century?
