Theories of consumption have been a part of the field of sociology since its earliest days, dating back, at least implicitly, to the work of Karl Marx in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Thorstein Veblen's (1899) The Theory of the Leisure Class is generally seen as the first major theoretical work to take consumption as its primary focus. Despite these early roots, research on consumption began in earnest in the second half of the twentieth century in Europe, especially Great Britain. Interest in the topic among mainstream US sociologists was much slower to develop and it is still not a focal concern of many American sociologists. Efforts are currently underway to form a section in the American Sociological Association devoted to the study of consumption. However, over the last twenty years, sociological research into the area of consumption has bourgeoned in cognate fields, particularly in global and cultural studies: Modern theorists of consumption include Jean Baudrillard, Pierre Bourdieu, and George Ritzer. ==See also== * Consumer theory * Consumerism * Hypermobility (travel) * Over-consumption * Waste 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Consumption (sociology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
