Daniel Miller and Sophie Woodward Flashcards
Miller’s theory of shopping
Shopping is viewed as love practice, influencing relationships and reflecting societal values
Shopping shapes us
Our choices while shopping reflect the society we believe in, influencing who we are and our connections.
Understanding trough culture
Examines buying as a cultural practice, giving meaning to our social connections.
Dress-up decisions
Getting dressed involves building our personal identity and showing it off to others
Clothes that choose us
Our clothes play a role in deciding who we are, affecting our behaviour and identity.
Wardrobe orders
Organising our clothes based on different criteria helps represent our identity, but it can also limit freedom.
Touch and memories in clothes
The feel and memories in our clothing personalise our wardrobe, making each item unique.
Dressing up ourselves
Getting dressed is like turning ourselves into objects, part of the process of forming our identity.
Stories in second-hand
The history of our clothes affects how we use them in the future, adding extra value in the second-hand market.
