Each approach
addresses
the objective
conditions
of
hoarding in
a different
way
each one acknowledging the different
claims and claims-makers that produce
an understanding of the situation
as problematic. This approach
also allows for the development of
a new construction of hoarding as a
social problem, one that utilizes new
claims and a different combination
of objective and subjective aspects. In
the following chapters I present three
different constructions of hoarding,
moving from the medical and moral
constructions that exist to my own
construction that considers hoarding
behaviour alongside current consumer
society. Each approach addresses
the objective conditions of hoarding
in a different way, while acknowledging
the impact and influence of subjective
forces and claims that frame
the problem.
