Each contributor shows how cultural consumption involves a range of active, creative and critical practices. The rich and idiosyncratic nature of local consumption practices is illustrated through case studies from different parts of the world. Through such examples the contributors show the varying balance between constraint and creativity, the links between consumption and production, and the patterns which shape access to symbolic and material resources. Consumption takes place in the context of everyday lives, which take place in space: questions of place and identity, the privatization of the home, and the linking of local everyday practices with broader, global processes are explored. Particular attention is given to the media and new communication technologies as points of overlap and exchange between the local and the global, between domestic consumption and the public sphere.
