 Treatments
of consumption have long been dominated by polarized thinking.
On the Left hand, Frankfurt School notions of interpellation continue
to prevail; on the Right, panglossian ideas about the democracy
of goods predominate. To attempt to find new paradigms with which
to consider consumption and our role as citizens, the SCE devoted
one of its two 1997 MLA panels to this subject. The program is
listed below.
