forbrugerens identitet 6 eller de relationer, forbrugeren formulerer eller<br />

rekonstruerer gennem sit forbrug. 7<br />

Each individual belongs to several tribes, in each of which he might<br />

play a different role and wear a specific mask; this means that the<br />

rational tools of sociological analysis cannot classify him. (Cova &<br />

Cova 2002: 599)<br />

Det funktionalistiske perspektiv på forbrug misser en vigtig pointe om hvordan og<br />

hvorfor mennesker forbruger eller handler i forhold til den sociokulturelle kontekst,<br />

forbruget eller praksisformen udspiller sig i.<br />

People are not computers, they are people – they live in a world of<br />

total contradictions, joys and sorrows, fears and deep emotions,<br />

attachments and fantasies. They construct worlds that have strong<br />

subjective connotations. They live and work in complex cultural<br />

spaces that cannot be reduced to datum. As researchers, we have to<br />

understand this world, which operates through different kinds of<br />

narratives, linguistic signs, and other expressive forms. (Venkatesh<br />

(1995:13) i Meamber & Venkatesh 2001)<br />

Det postmoderne, fortolkende paradigme<br />

Det postmoderne paradigme tager udgangspunkt i hvordan vi igennem symbolske<br />

handlingsmønstre skaber værdi og identitet ved at definere os selv i relationer med<br />

produkter og andre mennesker. 8<br />

Med et relationelt og kulturelt perspektiv forstås værdiskabelse holistisk som<br />

foregående i en relationel og cyklisk proces mellem markedets aktører. I denne<br />

proces betydningssætter mennesket selv sine oplevelser.<br />
