Abstract

With the advance of globalization and economic integration, Chinese society has transferred from a production-oriented society to a consumption-oriented one. The research topic on the new consumption relationship between consumers and place has become more and more prominent in human geography. The consumer activity connects places to ourselves and the others in various unimaginable ways. Consumption geography explains the complex connotations of places through the internal logic of the connection between consumption and other spaces. This article reviews the origin and the systematic development of consumption geography. Our study further reviews the current status of research on consumption geography under the context of the Western world, by means of Mansvelt's analysis framework of the spatialities, subjectivities, and socialities of consumption. This study also evaluates the subject basis and research framework of consumption geography in China from research across disciplines and time. Finally, this paper proposes a new research paradigm to examine crucial issues in the research of consumption. First, the process of consumption practice, from the local to the global, and across real and virtual spaces, is essential to the formation of locale and daily life, in turn, the local practice on consumption is indispensable: The spatial expression of the geographical location of consumption is uneven, and the place affects the consumption practice and experience. Second, consumption geography focuses on the mutual consultation among substance, symbol, culture, body, place and trade during the process of production, consumption and reproduction, forming a new research paradigm of consumption geography. Third, in Chinese research on consumption, the lifestyle consumption represented by tourism demand is becoming the mainstream topic.

Key words
