Tiivistelmä: | This paper puts forward a model for the analysis of consumption as an expression of the self ('individualistic consumption') and as a system of meaning enabling linkage to social tribes ('tribalistic consumption'). In addition, this framework is applied in a semiotic analysis of The Simpsons. By examining the consumption and meaning of goods in a popular television show, an indirect reflection of modern society and the centrality of goods to meaning are highlighted. |
