Summary note
"This volume provides an in-depth examination of the role of sexuality in consumers' life course and in the marketing of products and services. Leading scholars in the field define the most up-to-date picture of theories of sexuality in marketing and consumer research, mapping the topic through diverse theoretical lenses, addressing queer and feminist research, and putting sexuality and consumption in context. The book brings together leading international marketing scholars to build on the growing interest in theories of sexuality, queer theory, and intersectionality, which are gaining more interest among institutions and researchers interested in equality and diversity. While this book builds on existing expertise in consumer culture scholarship, it is the first time a marketing book focuses on sexuality, adding value to the existing repertoire in gender and feminist literature. Chapters are organised into three key sections: part 1 maps the marketing and consumer research field, discussing how sexuality can be studied through different lenses; part 2 focuses on queer and feminist theorising, drawing on LGBTQIA+ theory, queer theory and theories of intersectionality to analyse how overlapping social categories interact to influence consumer behaviour, identity and experiences in the marketplace; and part 3 explores the personal and social aspects of sexuality, offering a broad overview of issues of gender and sexuality, digitalisation, and the sexual body. This text will be of direct interest to scholars and researchers within the fields of marketing, consumer research, sociology and media studies. The aim of this book is to help scholars and students to develop a broader understanding about the interplay between sexuality, society and the market"-- Provided by publisher.
