Abstract

In Anglo-American social and cultural geography, consumption has been emerging as a new theoretical frontier and empirical focus point alongside with the rising of re-materialization and material turn, in particular after the "cultural turn" since 1980s. This material geography calls for attention on human material system and its representing social ideologies/social norms, as well as people's everyday life. In this regard, this paper reviews the complex relations between material geography and consumption. Under the advocacy of the "returning to materialization" in new cultural geography, the consumption research focuses significantly on the complex interaction and daily practice of "subject-objects(things)-place(society)" with the material as the clue. For instance, by "living with the things", one can observe how people build their life world through material objects. Through "following the things", one can examine the place-relations and different socio-cultural contexts during the flow of things across the globe. And by "feeling the things", one can investigate the affective relations between people, material objects and places. In sum, the paper calls for attention to the material part of human system and the introduction of dimension of "things" in people's daily living practice and traditional "human-place" relationship.
