This is where the application of [subjective] liquid modernity comes into play. The shift of space and time in a liquid modern world is different from one in previous ‘heavier’ modern periods, which causes contradictions for people who do not immediately subscribe to a liquid way of life. “ This is where I believe social structures and time and space meet to create space for hoarding to occur. Claimants would be reserved to consumer and modernity theorists who can point to the nature of consumption in liquid modern times, which to date includes only Bauman. I believe these claims could be combined with those of ‘down shifters’ or anti-consumerists who also promote smaller living spaces and secure local food systems. Many of these groups advocate owning fewer items and rejecting the current rapid pace of liquid modernity. These claimants would see hoarding not as an individual behaviour to remedy with social shaming or prescribed therapy, but as a reminder of the need to disengage from a consumer driven society. This rejection of liquid modernity consumer society may slow down time and space and allow for a return to a society that advocates long-term thinking and living. This approach to hoarding as a problem looks at very different aspects of the behaviour and addresses society as a major influencer of the situation, which changes the approach to the topic.

For Liquid Modern Society, the claim would be that hoarding is a combination of: 01 02 Consumer Culture Structures that consumer culture promotes including high rates of acquisition and low rates of discard, Liquid modern Time The problematic nature of quickly changing liquid modern time and space. The abundance of studies that have been produced in the medical field suggest that hoarding is harmful in several ways, including general levels of unhappiness and health decline including obesity and chronic illness lem looks at very different aspects of the behaviour and addresses society as a major influencer of the situation, which changes the approach to the topic. Although my analysis presents itself as a social problem construction, I do believe there is room for consideration of hoarding as a non-problematic behaviour. If consumer culture and liquid modernity promote certain behaviours,they can be said to be inherent in current society. If the behaviours are prevalent due to changing social structures,there is a chance they are not problematic. There are a few areas that could be further researched to answer this type of question, including harm or danger, personal freedom/ free will, and private property. Whether or not hoarding is an inherently harmful behaviour is yet to be proven. The abundance of studies that have been produced in the medical field suggest that hoarding is harmful in several ways, including general levels of unhappiness and health decline including obesity and chronic illness (Tolin et al. 2008). These are not causation studies however; they do not inquire as to whether hoarding caused these results, or if they were present before the hoarding started. Likewise is the case for strain on the welfare state; although some studies look at decreasing labour 119
