Minimalism – a new mode of consumption?
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
This article discusses minimalism as an example of anti-consumer-oriented social practices. The first section focuses on the assumptions of minimalism. The following parts refer to different variants of the relationship between minimalism and derivatives of consumption, i.e. anti-consumption and hyper-consumption (consumerism). The author also considers minimalism as a style of consumption and as a form of conscious consumption. The analysis is based on minimalist blogs and books.
