Abstract. With the transition from modernism to postmodernism, identity as a concept has started to become redefined in sociology literature. The aim of this study is to show that postmodernism and symbolic interactionism are fused together to delineate both the scene as well as an actor’s identity. In that way, the interaction of a social structure with a culture that won’t be completely ignored, and, with the opinion that the categorized roles can skillfully be shaped and diversified by actors, it is possible to refrain from a pure determinism. But the transformation to enter different roles lacks meaning. Individuals pay more attention to their appearance more than who they are in order to be accepted by each group. In this manner, a metaphysical shell game begins. In the following study, the “Social Appearance Anxiety” was used as an indicator of this game. And to determine who is willing to play the game, cultural parameters were utilized. This study was based on the analysis of the data collected through two questionnaires given to 181 students studying at Hitit University. The INDCOL questionnaire [Singelis et al., 1995] measuring cultural values and “Social Appearance Anxiety” scale developed by [Hart, 2008] were used in the study.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This research aims to investigate if consuming fashion apparel brands for the purpose of social appearance expressiveness may garner calculative brand commitment, through the mediation of narcissistic brand love. It also tests moderation of gender for the aforementioned mediated relationship. Design/methodology/approach The research has a core qualitative component (Study 1), which focuses on an interpretivist approach using a grounded theory paradigm to analyze data (N = 37) collected from semi-structured depth interviews. It is followed by a positivist survey based enquiry (study 2), and the data (N = 245) were analyzed using Haye’s (2017) process macro. Findings Analysis reveals that Indian consumers fall in narcissistic love with those apparel brands that aid their quest for maintaining desirable social appearances and develop a calculative commitment toward the brands, which aid this quest. The effect of social appearance expressiveness of apparel brand on consumers’ narcissistic brand love is moderated by gender, such that female consumers (as compared to males) are more invested in consuming fashion apparel brands as a means to enhance their social appearances. Originality/value The value of this study lies in extending self-presentation theory to understand the role of consumer narcissism in shaping Indian consumers’ fashion apparel consumption. The authors investigate the narcissistic consumption orientation that evolves as a result of consumers’ desire for social self-expression, irrespective of possessing narcissism as an enduring personality trait. Thus, the findings are relevant for possibly all consumers who, given certain conditions, may temporarily develop narcissistic brand love.

Full textAbstract:
Instagram not only offers an arena for the fulfillment of basic human desires but also cultivates new types of multifaceted desires and consumptions in Web 2.0 environments. This study aims to examine a wide variety of dispositional, psychological, and attitudinal predictors of Instagram consumption and selfie-and-groupfie cultures. Three cross-sectional surveys (Study 1 (N = 108); Study 2 (N = 140); Study 3 (N = 557)) were conducted, and empirical data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with Mplus 8.0. Study 1 shows associations among appearance-related self-confidence, appearance-related actual–ideal self-discrepancy, materialism, and Instagram consumption. Study 2 confirms relationships among weight status perception, self-esteem, eating disorder, malicious envy, and Instagram consumption intensity. Study 3 further demonstrates dynamic associations among eating disorders, perceived mate value, narcissistic grandiosity, envy, social comparison, intrasexual competition for mates, and frequency of posting selfies/groupfies on Instagram. Theoretical contributions to the psychosocial and human aspects of the Web 2.0 digital culture, managerial implications for online dating cultures, and practical implications for consumption markets including social media-based health communication, cultural communication, and marketing communication are discussed.

In recent years, the popularity of online live-streaming commerce is favored by consumers. Live-streaming commerce have good prospect and great development potential, so it is important to know consumers’ concerns. Using content analysis of audience comments on 5 Douyin videos, this research studies, from the perspective of consumers, how the influencer's communication behavior affects consumers' reactions. Findings show that consumers are concerned with 4 key aspects: appearance, personal style, product quality and credibility. Especially for appearance, comments show that audience usually tend to care more about female influencers’ appearance rather than that of male influencers and most of their comments about female influencers’ appearance were negative, while their comments about male influencers were more positive. This research studies a new form of consumption that has sprung up in China in recent years, helping to know more about Chinese consumers' views on online consumption, as well as online consumption culture.

Full textAbstract:
Consumers today continue to be enchanted by appearance fashions. For some, having the capacity to style their bodies in ways they desire entitles them to ‘position’ into this practice in line with aspirational cultural standards. This, in turn, can produce considerable emotional rewards. Yet ‘keeping up’ with appearance revisions demands unwavering effort and substantial investments be made. Consequently, for others, maintaining standards in fashionable appearance also represents a source of anxiety, distress and disillusionment. In this article the relationship between social class, the development of emotional tendencies and consumption practice is theorized by locating the intersection of consumption and emotion experience within the context of social structures. Bourdieu’s practice theory, and more recent conceptualizations of class-based emotions, provide useful frameworks to interpret a variety of divergent fashion consumption strategies occurring amongst women. The article illuminates the vital role of intense emotional experiences in social life. It demonstrates how class position converges with familial relations to produce divergent forms of emotional-habitus, which structure consumption patterns to produce competing categories of fashioned femininity. Distance and discriminations between classes of individuals become increasingly perceptible when the emotions surrounding fashion consumption experiences are unraveled.

This dissertation explores the `sign' of visible face make-up and examines how women consume appearance in everyday life in contemporary Australia. Using a semiotic framework, it presents a novel new method for interpreting and gaining increased meaning into an everyday consumption phenomenon. The purpose of the study is to gain insights into why women wear make-up. It seeks to provide understanding of what this medium signifies to women and what the `sign' of make-up symbolises to the female individual. It explores how visible face make-up affects the way women consume appearance in everyday life, how they feel about themselves, and the role make-up plays in defining their own self-identity. The study utilises an interpretivist approach and uses a qualitative methodology in the form of phenomenology. The theoretical framework used to underpin this research is semiotics and this study examines the sign of make-up using two different semiotic perspectives previously not used together. The significance of this process is that by combining these perspectives a richer and more in-depth understanding is derived.

Full textAbstract:
Poor diet precipitates significant social and economic burden, necessitating effective and economical dietary intervention strategies. Current population-level campaigns provide guidelines for living healthily and focus on the impact of lifestyle on chronic disease risk. Behavioural interventions which capitalise on individuals' existing cognitions are likely to be more effective. A programme of work is presented here which evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of an appearance-based dietary intervention approach. This project aims to improve fruit and vegetable consumption by illustrating the associated benefits to skin appearance. The impact of fruit and vegetable consumption on skin colour is assessed (Chapter 6), corroborating previous between-subjects evidence which finds that dermal yellowness (CIE b*) is positively associated with fruit and vegetable intake. This work also discovers that modest within-subject dietary change is sufficient to perceptibly alter skin colour within six weeks (Chapter 7). Perceptual preferences are examined (Chapters 5 to 9), finding that optimally healthy skin colouration is that associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption. Two behavioural intervention trials are conducted (Chapters 6 and 9) to evaluate whether visualising the impact of fruit and vegetable consumption on skin colour motivates dietary improvement. Relative to control groups, participants receiving an appearance-based intervention (in which the above effects are illustrated and explained) reported improvements in diet, particularly when illustrations were performed upon images of one's own face. It may be valuable to disseminate such an intervention at a population level, though a number of further longitudinal studies are necessary to determine the wider effectiveness of this approach.

Full textAbstract:
In 1957 a number of women's organizations were involved in planning a government-sponsored Festival of Women - an event that indicates contemporary awareness of and interest in the changing position of women. This study is similarly concerned with the position of women in the 1950s and 60s, relating constructions of the 'modern' woman in women's magazines to post-war developments, such as increasing levels of consumption and changing leisure patterns. There are two major themes in the thesis: the housewife and the modern. The study illustrates the centrality of 'the housewife' while accentuating the breadth and complexity of post-1945 women's roles and identities, with a focus on two sites pivotal to constructions of femininity in women's magazines: the home and appearance. The study also explores how women's magazines shaped the modern, emphasizing the range of ways in which this notion was constructed and understood. The concept of social capital is used to examine the significance of the modern, looking at why it was so important and its connection with ideas of exclusion and belonging.The study looks at two magazines. Home and Country was the magazine of the National Federation of Women's Institutes, and hence it targeted rural women. Woman's Outlook, on the other hand, was the Women's Co-operative Guild magazine, aimed at working-class Guild members. Through comparisons between the two and with Woman, a mass-circulation weekly magazine, the thesis demonstrates that their respective rural and Co-operative identities were distinctive features that contrast with the urban and mass consumption viewpoints evident in other titles. These rural and Co-operative identities heavily influenced the perspectives of the organizational magazines and created alternative visions of the modern. The relationship of these features to post-war British modernity has received little attention, with historians' focus on the urban and the individual consumer positioning the countryside and the Co-operative movement as antithetical to the modern. However, this study reveals that rural and Co-operative interpretations of the modern enhance and develop understandings of key themes in 1950s and 60s British history such as national identity, consumer culture, generation and age. The thesis situates Home and Country and Woman's Outlook within broader social and cultural networks and shows the extent to which women's magazines operated as cultural intermediaries. The study also engages with a number of intersecting bodies of literature, such as revisionist accounts of domesticity and recent work on women's organizations, and contributes to various discussions including housing in post-war Britain and feminist analyses of fashion and beauty. This multifaceted investigation generates new insights into both the housewife and the modern, insights which offer a more complex and nuanced account of 1950s and 60s Britain and the position of women.

Taking into consideration the many possibilities of reducing or increasing social inequalities, this Dissertation is about the ones related to the criteria of classification through appearances. We understand that among the many capitals held by different people, the social capital, i.e., the relationships network, can be one of the factors that give access to important opportunities for a person’s social ascension. Marriages, employments and friendships can change a person’s place in the social arena. However, independently of how people manipulate their own appearance (or themselves), through consumption and through their behavior in public places, the value it is given – either positively or negatively charged – will depend on the criteria adopted by the classifying individuals, as well as on existing social norms. In order to investigate this, we have applied a questionnaire to 201 persons, at consumption places in Goiânia - GO: Santa Genoveva Airport, Feira da Lua and Camelódromo Central (a market for cheap merchandise), and also performed 18 interviews in those same places, with people from middle and lower classes. What we could observe was that the classified individual’s class is seen as an important criterion, which either boosts or lowers his or her appearance-value: personal hygiene, being properly dressed, with clothes and shoes in good state, having good manners, showing proper behavior, being discreet and even how much his or her appearance reveals in terms of sexual availability and general responsibility are taken into consideration in the moment of classification, in such a way that the higher the perceived class, the more positive the assessment of the given attribute. There is, therefore, an idealization of the middle class’ consumption and manners, generally perceived as being simple, clean and discreet, and a negative view of the lower classes, to whom a taste for the excessive, the gaudy, colorful and noisy are attributed. As for the classifying individual’s class, there are not many differences in representations, and a flow of ideas in the opposite direction was not detected. As in a cascading effect, the negative representation of the lower classes takes place with relation to the class considered inferior to that of the classifying individual, and that happens in every layer, including the lower ones, which shows us the strength of the hegemonic discourses on the norms of a “good appearance”, which remain the same through all the strata. However, looking at things through the dominant class’ lens does not keep prejudice against oneself from being noticed and felt, with the perception that the lower a person’s class is, the more negative judgments he or she will face, and slimmer will be their chances of being chosen for jobs and personal relationships, based on their personal appearance when compared to that of persons of a higher class. Since we have worked more closely with the social representations that differentiate middle class from the lower class, we sought to make a mapping of contents that present and represent those classes, coming to the conclusion that, by a large measure, there is a coincidence between the meanings of already crystallized representations about social classes and their anchored attributes, and also a movement – albeit very incipient – of appropriation of a constructed notion of “new middle class”, especially by people with higher formal education.
Considerando as inúmeras possibilidades de diminuição ou incremento das desigualdades sociais, este trabalho diz respeito àquelas que se relacionam aos critérios de classificação da aparência. Entendemos que dentre os vários capitais que são mobilizados pelas pessoas, o capital social, isto é, a rede de relacionamentos pode se constituir como um dos fatores de acesso a oportunidades importantes para a ascensão social. Casamentos, empregos, amizades podem mudar a localização de uma pessoa no espaço social. Mas, independentemente de como as pessoas manipulam a própria aparência (ou se manipulam), por meio do consumo e da conduta nos lugares públicos, o valor a ela atribuído (valorado positiva ou negativamente) vai depender de critérios adotados pelos indivíduos classificadores e das normas sociais. Para fazer esta averiguação, aplicamos um questionário para 201 pessoas em locais de consumo de Goiânia - Goiás: Aeroporto Santa Genoveva, Feira da Lua e Camelódromo Central, além de realizarmos 18 entrevistas nos mesmos locais, com pessoas de classe média e classe baixa. O que pudemos observar é que a classe social do indivíduo classificado é vista como um importante critério que joga para cima ou para baixo o seu valor-aparência: higiene, estar vestido apropriadamente e com roupas e calçados em bom estado, educação, comportar-se de forma apropriada, ter discrição e até o quanto a aparência revela disponibilidade sexual e responsabilidade são levados em consideração no momento da classificação, de forma que, quanto mais bem situada a classe, mais positiva será a valoração do atributo. Há, assim, uma idealização do consumo e dos modos da classe média, como simples, limpos e discretos, e uma visão negativa dos da classe popular, a quem se atribui um gosto pelo excessivo, espalhafatoso, colorido, barulhento. Em relação à camada social do indivíduo classificador, poucas são as diferenças nas representações de um lado a outro na estratificação, não aparecendo um fluxo de ideias que vão em sentido contrário. Como em um efeito cascata, a representação negativa ocorre em relação à classe considerada abaixo da própria, em todas as camadas, inclusive nas populares, o que nos mostra a força dos discursos hegemônicos sobre as normas de uma "boa aparência", que atravessam toda a estratificação. Mas esse olhar com o olho do dominante não impede que preconceitos sejam notados e sentidos, na percepção de que quanto mais baixa a classe de uma pessoa, maior será o julgamento negativo, e menores serão as probabilidades de que ela seja escolhida em disputas de empregos e relações afetivas, com base na aparência, quando comparada com pessoas de classes mais altas. Como trabalhamos mais detidamente entre as representações sociais que diferenciam a classe média da classe baixa, buscamos fazer um mapeamento de conteúdos que apresentam e representam estas classes, podendo concluir que em grande medida há uma coincidência nos sentidos de representações já consolidadas sobre classes sociais e seus atributos ancorados, e também um movimento - ainda embrionário - de apropriação de uma noção construída de "nova classe média", especialmente pelas pessoas com maior grau de escolaridade.

Esta pesquisa aborda a teoria da imagem a partir de uma
perspectiva interdisciplinar
e através do olhar do designer. O objeto de estudo
consiste em uma
coleção formada por 306 imagens de publicidade veiculadas
em diferentes números
de três revistas de moda, beleza e consumo dirigidas ao
público feminino: a
francesa Jalouse, a Elle americana e a brasileira Nova.
Tais imagens, aqui denominadas
imagens de consumo, se apoiam em estereótipos correntes,
refletem e
traduzem conceitos e valores compartilhados socialmente,
vendem mercadorias e
são elas próprias consumíveis como referências para a
montagem de imaginários
de consumo, que vêm a ser a base material dos estilos de
vida. A aparência é o
grande produto cultural contemporâneo. Ao longo de todo o
texto são abordados
aspectos da imagem e do corpo como produto e como signo. O
trabalho compõem-
se de uma contextualização inicial, que relaciona a ênfase
na criação de
aparências e o mercado; de uma parte central onde a
pesquisa, seu campo (imagem
na publicidade editorial), seu objeto (as revistas) e seu
objetivo (conhecer
como os padrões de beleza e comportamento são consumidos e
incorporados)
são apresentados. As imagens reunidas e digitalizadas são
analisadas em relação
aos seus aspectos formais e retóricos e às estratégias de
que se utilizam para
enriquecer simbolicamente os nomes dos produtos. Nove
exemplos vêm ilustrar a
pesquisa. As conclusões apontam para os corpos como
colagens de referências
dispersas que nos conectam a mundos imaginários ao mesmo
tempo nos inserem
nos grupos sociais. E para a estratégia corrente em
publicidade, de intercambiar o
corpo e o produto, como dois signos que se equivalem no
consumo.The aim of this study is to discuss image theory through an interdisciplinary approach, from a designer`s point of view. The subject is a collection of 306 advertising images published in various issues of three women`s magazines focused on fashion, beauty and shopping: Jalouse (from France), Elle (from the USA) and Nova (the Brazilian edition of USA-based Cosmopolitan). The advertising images in printed media - here named images of consumption - are based on everyday stereotypes. They reflect and translate concepts and values widely shared. They sell goods and are themselves also sold as standards for the construction of the imaginary of consumption. This study is presented in the following format: an initial contextualization, in which the construction of appearances and the market are linked; the central part, showing the research, its field (images in the magazine advertisements), its subject (the magazines) and its purpose (to know how beauty and behavior patterns are consumed and assimilated); and a general analysis of the collection of digitalized images, concerning their formal and rhetorical aspects and the strategies they use to enrich the brand names symbolically. Nine examples are used to illustrate the research. Throughout this study, aspects of the image and of the body as a product and as a sign are discussed. The conclusions show that the body is trespassed by images - a collage of scattered references connecting us to imaginary worlds - and that the current strategy used in advertising is to interchange the body and the goods, both being equivalent signs in the market.

Ourahmoune, Nacima. "Comprendre le comportement du consommateur masculin : une approche socioculturelle : du discours des marques sur l'apparence masculine aux représentations des consommateurs de lingerie d'homme." Thesis, Aix-Marseille 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011AIX32036.
Full textAbstract:
Ce manuscrit vise une participation à la construction de savoir sur la consommation masculine, une thématique de recherche largement délaissée au profit des représentations féminines en la matière. Inscrite dans le courant de la Théorie Culturelle de la Consommation, la thèse propose d’investiguer à la fois le discours des marques liées à l’apparence et les discours d’hommes investis dans de nouvelles pratiques de consommations connotées du féminin, la lingerie d’hommes. Dans un premier essai, le discours sur la masculinité de 20 marques issues de traditions masculines (Automobiles, High-Tech,...) et de traditions féminines (Mode, Beauté...) est investigué sur une période de 40 ans (des années 1970 à nos jours) pour comprendre les termes du changement de l’identité masculine. Une lecture sémiotique du corpus combinée à une analyse critique de l’histoire socio-culturelle masculine française permet d’interpréter et qualifier l’évolution des imaginaires masculins contenus dans les récits de marques.Dans un deuxième essai, sur la base d’une étude phénoménologique (entretiens individuels avec 21 hommes), l’auteur interroge l’expérience de consommation de lingerie pour hommes en révélant les processus de découverte, d’entrée et d’implication dans une consommation jugée « anomique » jusqu’à peu. La mise en lumière du rôle d’un réseau esthétique féminin qui supporte cette consommation ainsi que les perceptions et bénéfices retirés dans l’entre- nous du couple hétérosexuel permettent d’aborder l’évolution des représentations liées à l’apparence et à l’intime. La recherche permet d’introduire le concept de l’intime dans le champ de l’investigation du consommateur masculin comme un marqueur de l’évolution des consommations masculines. Quatre dimensions du concept d’intimité ont par ailleurs émergé du discours des répondants.7Dans un troisième essai, l’auteur combine l’approche macro et l’approche micro de la consommation masculine dans le but d’éclairer sa participation à la construction des identités masculines. D’abord, la « Maison des hommes » ou les interactions entre pairs masculins permettent de mieux cerner les stratégies d’évitement et les tensions générées par l’adoption des nouveaux codes de consommation de parure proposés par le marché. Emerge notamment une dimension largement sous-investiguée en comportement du consommateur : la question de la relation au père dans la formulation des repaires de consommation. Ensuite, l’auteur propose la notion de limite pour matérialiser les termes des tractations identitaires vécues par les hommes et matérialisées par leurs choix de consommation. Une forte dualité entre schèmes égalitaristes et différentialistes émerge des représentations de l’identité masculine. Cette opposition sert la construction d’un carré sémiotique qui permet de resituer le discours des consommateurs dans le champ idéologique des forces sociales qui structurent les comportements des répondants et d’affiner les différents positionnements masculins. L’intrication de l’identité masculine avec l’identité nationale permet enfin d’apporter le versant français à la conception de l’idéologie masculine américaine de consommation développée par Holt et Thompson (2004). Il est proposé que le concept de performance peut rapprocher les masculinités américaines et françaises bien que des différences d’imaginaires notoires persistent entre les deux cultures de consommationThis doctoral dissertation aims participating in building knowledge on the masculine consumption, a topic that was neglected in consumer research until very recently. Through the Consumer Culture Theory lens, it proposes an investigation of this phenomenon both from brand (producer) and male (consumer) perspectives. The essays progress from public to private discourses on masculinity, combining macro and micro levels of analysis to unpack evolving gender ideologies and consumption.Through a socio-historic perspective, the first essay shows how the masculine identity is evolving from monolith masculinity to contemporary masculinities. The research aims to understand if and how these new cultural values are transferred to brands communication. Using a semiotic approach, masculine archetypes, their values and relationships are underlined by using a Utilitarian vs. Aesthetic semantic axis. A corpus of twenty brands communication of masculine and feminine sectors is analyzed with a past/present perspective. The study reveals an evolution of men’s representations in brands communication. The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed, theorizing especially the metrosexual managerial phenomenon.The second essay investigates male consumers representations and rituals as regard a new and highly feminine inspired product category: men’s lingerie. The process of discovery, entrance and involvement in this consumption is deciphered, the influencers’ roles highlighted and the interactions within the heterosexual couples emphasized. Doing so, the paper participates in building knowledge on the masculine consumption by describing male engagement in “anomic” consumption. It also introduces the concept of intimacy as a marker in the shift in9the masculine identity and proposes four dimensions of this concept as they emerged from consumers’ discourses.Finally the third essay attempts to explore how a new masculine consumption – men’s lingerie- that had clear divisions between men and women, may shape and reinforce men’s socially defined gender roles/identity construction. The author focuses on new identity landmarks, which move the social frontier between the sexes. First, the interactions in- between the male peers are emphasized as a window for the masculine identity construction through consumption. Secondly, the deep contradictions and the negotiations of acceptable masculine norms as expressed by the respondents are interpreted. Finally, the results are located in a macro-level of analysis allowing accounting for the role of the social forces in shaping masculine norms and French masculine schemes compared to the American masculinities described by Holt and Thompson (2004)

Ce travail prend pour objet la culture matérielle – c'est-à-dire « l'ensemble des phénomènes de co-construction des sujets, du social et de la culture dans le rapport aux objets matériels » (M. Roustan) – des aristocrates de la Renaissance française. Le cas de la maison de Guise permet de dresser un panorama des possessions indispensables à une grande famille du XVIe siècle pour tenir son rang dans la société de cour ; il autorise aussi l'étude de l'impact d'une exigence accrue de paraître sur les finances aristocratiques, et laisse apercevoir les pratiques sociales de consommation. Au-delà de la simple description, ce travail met en évidence les valeurs qui sous-tendaient l'environnement matériel aristocratique ; il révèle aussi la façon dont les objets participèrent à la transformation identitaire de l'élite courtisane de la RenaissanceThis work deals with the material culture – understood as a comprehensive phenomenon which both fashions and is fashioned by society, culture and individuals – of French Renaissance aristocrats. The House of Guise case study unveils the variety of goods a 16th-century great household needed in order to stay in keeping with its rank in the court society. It further reveals the financial consequences for noble houses of the ever-increasing obligation to appear splendidly. The social practices that lay behind shopping are also examined. Beyond a mere description, this work underlines the values embodied in the noble material environment and stresses the part objects took in the redefining of Renaissance elite identity

El objetivo de la investigación ha consistido en desarrollar la actitud crítica del alumnado hacia el culto al cuerpo exacerbado mediante el diseño, aplicación y evaluación de un recurso educativo multimedia. Todo ello en el marco de una unidad didáctica de condición física y salud para 4º de ESO.
En la investigación se analizan los fundamentos curriculares y pedagógicos de esta intención educativa y se delimita conceptualmente el principal objeto de enseñanza: la actitud crítica. Posteriormente se diseña, se describe y se evalúa un plan de acción aplicado de manera sistemática y con el rigor científico que requiere una investigación que nace y se desarrolla en la práctica.
The consumer society in which we live, together with certain merchandising campaigns, has resulted in the fact that people tend to associate more and more the idea of a "perfect body" with personal and social success. Needless to say, people are more and more concerned about their physical appearance during adolescence. All this has inspired a thorough study on this topic from the perspective of the physical education and by means of an "Action-Research" process.
The aim of this research was that some students in the fourth year of ESO (the last compulsory school year in the Spanish educational system) should acquire a critical attitude towards the body-building and body-care obsession. This study has been carried out by designing and using an Educational Multimedia Resource.
This educational research is to be justified in the curricular foundations of the Spanish educational system and it aims to define clearly the core of this study: the development of a critical attitude. Several teaching strategies are designed, described and assessed, so that students can develop this critical thinking.
All in all, the final goal is that students are able to develop a critical attitude while working from their own experiences.

This paper is aim to discover the fashion anxiety (intervening variable) shows the effect of mediating results between appearance orientation (independent variable) and conspicuous consumption (dependent variable). Due to the change of social environment and enhancement of the living standard, commodities no longer satisfy the consumers. Hence, this paper mainly discusses the change of consumer perception. In addition, the appearance orientation might be the main cause of changing conspicuous consumption. Besides that, the conspicuous con-sumption may also be affect. Based on the past studies, both of the appearance orienta-tion and fashion anxiety affects the conspicuous consumption. Therefore, fashion anxi-ety may have a mediating effect between conspicuous consumption and appearance orientation. This research discusses the relationship and meanings between fashion anx-iety, appearance orientation and conspicuous consumption. The data collection is progressed through the literature and questionnaires with five-point Likert scale and convenience sample. The questionnaire is separated mainly in Taipei City with no restrictions in the age of tester. The number of delivered ques-tionnaires is 450 with 346 valid questionnaires in return. The data analysis is progressed through SPSS and explored the intermediary effect .The study concluded that there is a significant positive relationship among appearance orientation, fashion anxiety and conspicuous consumption. Fashion anxiety affects the relationship between the appearance orientation and conspicuous consumption, as well as shows effect of mediating results. The results of this research can be used as the reference of the academic and another research. Keywords: appearance orientation, fashion anxiety, conspicuous consumption

Full textAbstract:
This article examines how scholarship in the sociology of music has been dominated by an economic framework known as the production/consumption paradigm. It first traces the history of the production/consumption paradigm through its appearance in key texts, showing how it changes as it passes from Theodor W. Adorno and Pierre Bourdieu to the American production of culture perspective. It then presents a thematic overview of the literature and highlights the strengths of established research agendas as well as the blind spots that reveal the need for a more cultural approach. It also considers music as a text, as a resource, as a product, and as performance before proposing an alternative to the production/consumption dichotomy. The article argues that the growing interest in performance presents an opportunity not only to advance the study of music, but also to engage with the core theoretical issues in sociology.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how the ovulatory cycle affects the tactics women use to compete with one another. As fertility increases near ovulation, women’s mating psychology changes, with implications for intersexual courtship (i.e., attracting opposite-sex mates) and intrasexual competition (i.e., outshining same-sex rivals) which is the primary focus of this chapter. The ovulatory competition hypothesis refers to the effect of fertility on women’s competition, manifested mainly in the domains of physical attractiveness and relative status. Previous research shows that women’s tendency to enhance their appearance near ovulation is driven not by a desire to impress men, but by a motivation to outcompete other women, when those women are perceived as potential rivals. Moreover, the effect of fertility on women’s consumption and financial decision making stems from a desire to surpass other women in status and resources. Implications for women’s materialism, consumption of luxury items, and financial decision making are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Communism, envisaged as a society of free and equal individuals succeeding capitalism, arises from the latter’s contradictions and is the outcome of the workers’ self-emancipatory revolution, which starts with their gaining political power as the first step in an ongoing process of revolutionary transformation up to the appearance of the new society. The latter is classless, hence stateless, and its mode of production is marked by the absence of private ownership in the means of production, of commodity production, including money, and of wage labour. The new mode of appropriation is collective and the labour of the individual is directly social. As regards the mode of distribution, society itself takes charge of allocating total labour time—dead and living—across the economy and of dividing the total product between production and consumption needs, and of determining the share of personal consumption in proportion to the individual’s share in common labour.

Full textAbstract:
In 2016, social media users in Thailand called out the Paris-based luxury fashion house Balenciaga for copying the popular Thai “rainbow bag,” using Balenciaga’s hashtags to circulate memes revealing the source of the bags’ design. In Why We Can’t Have Nice Things Minh-Ha T. Pham examines the way social media users monitor the fashion market for the appearance of knockoff fashion, design theft, and plagiarism. Tracing the history of fashion antipiracy efforts back to the 1930s, she foregrounds the work of policing that has been tacitly outsourced to social media. Despite the social media concern for ethical fashion and consumption and the good intentions behind design policing, Pham shows that it has ironically deepened forms of social and market inequality, as it relies on and reinforces racist and colonial norms and ideas about what constitutes copying and what counts as creativity. These struggles over ethical fashion and intellectual property, Pham demonstrates, constitute deeper struggles over the colonial legacies of cultural property in digital and global economies.

This chapter considers the importance of gender, a key concept for this book, in the examination of the punishment–body relation, and reviews findings on the look of the body and the management of physical, gendered appearance within the restricted and complex politics of imprisonment. It focuses particularly on the role of dress in custody and on various consumptive props used by women to manage their gendered identities and performances in various prison moments and stages. It argues that women’s imprisonment is gendered and combines a mix of penal and patriarchal controls and impositions on women that come together to form a sense of double oppression.

Social emulation stimulated the demand for clothing with the rapid generalisation of certain types of dress in given social circles. Beginning with this birth of fashion in the 16th century, the 18th century witnessed a revolution in consumption. Material culture had a public projection, and appearance and luxury became variables of civilization. In this methodological framework, and using tutorship accounts and inventories (from the Renaissance and Enlightened periods, and from rural and courtesan contexts), this paper aims to examine cloths and accessories that made a difference, with consideration to age, and gender. The evolution of this process in Castile is compared with that in other western European countries in terms of innovation, availability, intercultural contacts and social aspirations.

In the eighteenth century, fashion constituted a fundamental criterion for consumption for broader parts of the European (and Viennese) population. This article investigates, through various sources, like probate inventories, fashion magazines and pattern books, the consumption of clothes and accessories of female servants in the period 1760-1823 and associates it with debates on their appearance at the time. It compares their wardrobes to those of a broad part of the Viennese female middle-class population, and examines the relation of their wardrobes to fashion, notably in the period of the emergence of Viennese fashion. Finally, it investigates whether female servants could function as intermediaries of the prevalent fashion between the elites and this middle stratum, and, consequently, as trendsetters for this group.

Abstract Video and computer games have become an increasingly popular form of leisure over the past three decades. While the digital world is traditionally thought of as a masculine space, the number of female online gamers continues to increase. In the online gamer subculture, however, female gamers are often invisible, primarily because the famous gamers and the main characters of video games are typically male. Video games tend to focus on female characters' physical appearance, rather than their skills, thus widening the gender gap, as well as relegating women to secondary, supporting roles. This chapter addresses the primary question of whether women are 'tourists' in this currently masculine space, or if they are already full members of the gaming world. By looking at online female gamers in Hungary and through analysis of an online questionnaire, it was determined that the female presence in online gaming is increasing, in spite of misogyny and harassment.

AbstractSmart second-generation policies for energy transition governance have been less studied and reviewed in the literature. They are also difficult to compare or measure in terms of their effectiveness with regard to the energy transition, not only because each country’s objectives and underlying drivers for an energy transition are different. Technological innovation and new technology deployment are only the tip of the iceberg. Understanding how to redesign energy governance to allow for business model reconfiguration among incumbents and how to stimulate business model innovation by start-ups and new entrants is key for an effective and sustainable energy transition in the long term. However, beyond this, countries must address the underlying driving forces such as consumption patterns and the financial system. Therefore, business model transformation is not the only solution, but it is an important one and it requires well-designed policies. It also requires the involvement of all stakeholders at all levels of the economic fabric of each region and country. At the same time, we continue to measure progress on energy transitions in a superficial and extremely limited way. Policies must now be smarter, not just more ambitious in terms of appearances, and the measurement of energy transition progress must evolve as well. We discuss the full story of an energy transition to the extent possible in a single chapter. For example, we will review business models in different sub-sectors, policies that either block or promote such changes in each sub-sector chosen, and the elements that are necessary for energy transitions to become successful and sustainable without long-term government intervention and financial support. Finally, we also provide insights from an expert workshop held in 2019 and we outline our upcoming work on an Energy Transition Preparedness Index.

This chapter explores how consumption played a vital role in determining social status in Korea's modern society. It defines chungsancheung (middle class) in terms of consumption status. The sector of consumerism changed drastically following South Korea's economic liberalization in the 1980s, democratization in 1987, and the Olympic Games in 1988. The chapter recognizes the rise of luxury consumption (myoongpoom) as the most noticeable change in Korea's consumption market since the 1990s. Moreover, the new phase of class distinction revolved around owning traditional cultural products and the willingness to invest time and money into health and physical appearance. The chapter also focuses on the cultural trend of luxury and high status being correlated with people's obsession with physical appearance, which resulted in Korea being widely known for its highly developed cosmetic surgery industry, Korean TV dramas, and hallyu (Korean wave).

This chapter examines the growth in wine consumption in the second half of the nineteenth century and shows the impact of phylloxera on the French market, and how the stimulus of higher international prices led to a wine boom in Spain. At the time, Europe's growers, winemakers, and merchants had to adapt to some important changes. On the demand side, the decline in transport costs produced by the railways, rapid urbanization, and rising incomes led to per capita wine consumption in France reaching more than 160 liters in the 1900s, and there were significant increases in other countries. The growth in consumption was all the more impressive given that the vine disease phylloxera vastatrix destroyed large areas of Europe's vineyards. In addition, the chapter discusses the development of scientific viticulture and wine making, and the appearance of large-scale wineries in the Midi and Algeria.

Migrations lead people with various ethnic origins, religions, and consumption cultures to live together. Religious places are special and of great importance in Islam, as in other religions. Turks experience a process of transformation into Euro-Turks in Western Europe, especially in Germany. Mosques have played a significant role in the process of migration and the transformation of migrants into Euro-Turks. In these countries, mosques have become institutions that provide cultural and social services as well as being sanctuaries. In Germany, mosques have been transnational spaces that provide spiritual and social services since their first appearance. Over time, these transnational spaces have become Muslim cultural and consumption spaces offering a wider variety of services. This study found that the generation of transnational spaces began with the establishment of Barbaros Mosque in 1969, and that the Muslim Cultural and Consumption Spaces became legitimate with the establishment of the DITIB Central Mosque (2018) in Cologne, Germany.

Full textAbstract:
Light absorbed by sensitive artwork may cause irreversible damage. Optimising the spectral power distribution of light sources to minimise absorbed light can reduce damage while maintaining the colour appearance of artwork. Previous absorption minimisation studies used optimisation methods without comparing their performance. Here, three channel RGB LED projector spectra was optimised for 24 colour samples by using brute-force (BF) and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). BF search and MOGA were similar in achieving optimal results, reducing both light absorption and energy consumption by almost half. MOGA was 2.5 times faster than BF in finding optimal solutions. The results indicate that an LED RGB projector can be used to illuminate museum artifacts to reduce light absorption and energy consumption, with the caveat of perceptible colour shifts in certain samples. Future research will investigate the use of CIECAM02 instead of CIEDE2000 and observers’ subjective evaluations of artwork under optimised lighting.

Full textAbstract:
A new type of nano-material based hybrid pour-point depressant with significant efficiency has been developed and successfully used in industrial application. For Daqing crude oil, a typical high waxy Chinese crude, with 80–100g/t new pour-point depressant and 58–65°C thermal treatment temperature, the wax appearance temperature of the Daqing crude oil can be decreased by 3–4°C. The viscosity/pour-point reduction, shearing resistance, and fluidity at low temperature of the modified crude with new type of pour-point depressant is much better than the effect of using traditional ethylene-vinyl acetate (hereinafter referred as “EVA”). Therefore the safe shutdown time for a pipeline is dramatically increased which not only enhances the safety of the pipeline operation but also significantly saves the energy consumption of the pipeline company. Besides, the reheating temperature can only be greatly reduced to 35°C. The relationship between the crystal structure of the nano-material based pour-point depressant and the type of the waxy crude, together with its influence on the crystal form/wax appearance temperature of the waxy crude by using X ray diffraction (hereinafter referred as “XRD”) and Polarizing microscope (hereinafter referred as “POM”)are studied.

From the perspective of the consumer side, with the way of in-depth interview and questionnaire, the paper conducts a research on the consumers’ cognition of Cantonese cultural product, and proposes a corresponding design strategy. The research shows that although consumers are interested in Cantonese culture, not many consumers pay attention to Cantonese cultural product. The main reasons include the lack of category, practicality and innovation of Cantonese cultural product and so on. To strengthen consumers’ attention and consumption of Cantonese cultural product, it is suggested that the appearance, visual symbol of Cantonese, product function diversity and the addition of technology and nostalgic should be considered for designers.

Full textAbstract:
Abradable seals have been used in aero-engines and land-based gas turbines for more than three decades. They are applied to various sections of the engine in order to reduce gas leakage by optimizing the gap between rotating and stationary parts. This optimization represents a significant increase in efficiency and decrease in fuel consumption. Performance evaluation of any abradable seal includes measurement of its mechanical properties, abradability tests and (ultimately) tests in engines. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of temperature on the rub performance of abradable seals. A series of experiments has been carried out in order to evaluate a commercially available seal material at different operating conditions. The effect of operating temperature on contact force, abrasion scar appearance and blade wear is examined and analyzed. A microstructural analysis of the rub scar has also been performed.

Lipid oxidation has been reported as a problem when recovering functional proteins from herring filleting co-products using the pH-shift method. Motivated by the wish for clean label and sustainable development within the food industry, we have earlier shown good oxidation-inhibiting potential when adding 30% (dw/dw) of seven different antioxidant-containing underutilized materials including agricultural/shellfish side streams and seaweeds, both during processing and during subsequent ice storage of protein isolates. Lingonberry press-cake has been recognized as the most promising. However, at 30% addition, it reduced protein yields, increased consumption of base, and dramatically changed the color and texture of protein isolates. Here, we investigated how reducing the lingonberry press-cake addition from 30% to 2.5% affected protein yields and base consumption during processing as well as lipid-oxidative stability, composition and appearance of protein isolates. < ![if !supportLineBreakNewLine] > < ![endif] >Aligned with our hypothesis, lower lingonberry addition yielded increased protein yields, reduced base consumption and lightened color of protein isolates. The results of hexenal, heptanal and octanal revealed that 2.5% addition of lingonberry press-cake efficiently limited lipid oxidation during pH-shift processing, and 10% was enough to also prevent the formation of above-mentioned volatile aldehydes during 7 days of ice storage. Based on the wish of higher protein yield and saving base while at the same time avoiding lipid oxidation, combining herring filleting co-products with 10% lingonberry press cake (dw/dw) was recognized as a very promising raw material combination for new types of protein isolates which will be subject for further studies.

The kinetics of reaction of C2H5OH with N2O behind shock waves is studied. The quantitative measurements of the time profiles of concentration of O atoms were carried out by the method of atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy (ARAS) using resonance vacuum-ultraviolet line of O-atom at 130.5 nm. For the calibration of absorption intensity of oxygen atoms depending on its concentration, the special series of experiments in the mixture containing different amounts of N2O in Ar was carried out at T = 2100 ± 50 K when molecule of N2O is completely dissociated. An experimental study of the appearance and consumption of oxygen atoms during the reaction of ethanol with oxygen in mixture 10 ppm N2O + (10 ... 0.1) ppm C2H5OH + Ar at temperatures of 16002300 K and pressures of 200-300 kPa have been carried out. A kinetic analysis of obtained data was performed using the Chemkin package.

During the past few years, metal based additive manufacturing technologies have evolved and may enable the direct fabrication of heterogeneous objects with full spatial material variations. A heterogeneous object has potentially many advantages and in many cases can realize appearance and/or functionality that homogeneous objects cannot achieve. In this work we employ a preprocess computing combined with a multi-objective optimization algorithm based on the modeling of the LENS deposition of multiple materials to optimize the fabrication process. The optimization methodology is applied to the fabrication of cermet composite (using Inconel 718 and ceramic powders) with prescribed material feeding rates. The multi-objective optimization considers that the energy consumption and the material waste during the fabrication process should be minimized, while the probability of the melting of the powders should be maximized. The optimization software modeFRONTIER® is used to drive the computation procedure with a MATLAB code. The results show the design and objective spaces of the Pareto optimal solutions, and enable the users to select preferred setting configurations from the set of optimal solutions.

In recent years, webcasting has developed in a spurt, giving birth to a large number of camgirl communities. The interconnection of virtual fields and real spaces has made the appearance of webcast subjects a social phenomenon worthy of attention. The network media empowers people and brings new fields and opportunities for the development of female subjectivity. Camgirls based on identity and subjective expression participate in the process of constructing their own image. In the diverse and fluid cyberspace field and in the age of entertainment, the conspiracy of image capital and visual consumption has continuously created and produced a subculture in the live broadcast field, causing the construction of female images from "subjective fiction." The shift to "symbol alienation" has caused the female body to be continuously desired, materialized, symbolized, disciplined and peeped. Behind the image of the network camgirl, it conveys the changes of human society and culture, the variation of the real space and the network field, and it is worthy of our reflection and discussion.

Today there are no products whose appearance is not important. Of course, the greatest attention is paid to products that are intended for mass consumption and personal use, since the customers want to emphasize their uniqueness. That doesn’t mean the other products are not given any attention but on the contrary. Within this paper, only universal gear reducer with helical gears will be considered. These units are often installed within the other products, so that they are usually invisible to the customers, and this paper will give attention to their design solutions overview. Universal gear reducers are relatively simple products and around the world there is a large number of manufacturers of these gear drives of different concepts and shapes. It is interesting to note that most manufacturers try to adopt the shape of gearbox housing that is significantly different from competing solutions. The reason for that is they want to accentuate their solution in order to and to avoid the possibility of an accusation of copying some other’s solution. Although, there are manufacturers which retain almost identical shape as a competing solution, which is probably a reason of bought licence or a consequence of inexperienced copying.

A survey of Salmonella, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and antimicrobial resistance in frozen, part-cooked, breaded or battered poultry products on retail sale in the United Kingdom.

Full textAbstract:
Frozen, breaded, ready-to-cook chicken products have been implicated in outbreaks of salmonellosis. Some of these outbreaks can be large. For example, one outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis involved 193 people in nine countries between 2018 and 2020, of which 122 cases were in the UK. These ready-to-cook products have a browned, cooked external appearance, which may be perceived as ready-to-eat, leading to mishandling or undercooking by consumers. Continuing concerns about these products led FSA to initiate a short-term (four month), cross-sectional surveillance study undertaken in 2021 to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in frozen, breaded or battered chicken products on retail sale in the UK. This study sought to obtain data on AMR levels in Salmonella and E. coli in these products, in line with a number of other FSA instigated studies of the incidence and nature of AMR in the UK food chain, for example, the systematic review (2016). Between the beginning of April and the end of July 2021, 310 samples of frozen, breaded or battered chicken products containing either raw or partly cooked chicken, were collected using representative sampling of retailers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland based on market share data. Samples included domestically produced and imported chicken products and were tested for E. coli (including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, colistin-resistant and carbapenem-resistant E. coli) and Salmonella spp. One isolate of each bacterial type from each contaminated sample was randomly selected for additional AMR testing to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for a range of antimicrobials. More detailed analysis based on Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data was used to further characterise Salmonella spp. isolates and allow the identification of potential links with human isolates. Salmonella spp. were detected in 5 (1.6%) of the 310 samples and identified as Salmonella Infantis (in three samples) and S. Java (in two samples). One of the S. Infantis isolates fell into the same genetic cluster as S. Infantis isolates from three recent human cases of infection; the second fell into another cluster containing two recent cases of infection. Countries of origin recorded on the packaging of the five Salmonella contaminated samples were Hungary (n=1), Ireland (n=2) and the UK (n=2). One S. Infantis isolate was multi-drug resistant (i.e. resistant to three different classes of antimicrobials), while the other Salmonella isolates were each resistant to at least one of the classes of antimicrobials tested. E. coli was detected in 113 samples (36.4%), with counts ranging from <3 to >1100 MPN (Most Probable Number)/g. Almost half of the E. coli isolates (44.5%) were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested. Multi-drug resistance was detected in 20.0% of E. coli isolates. E. coli isolates demonstrating the ESBL (but not AmpC) phenotype were detected in 15 of the 310 samples (4.8%) and the AmpC phenotype alone was detected in two of the 310 samples (0.6%) of chicken samples. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing showed that five of the 15 (33.3%) ESBL-producing E. coli carried blaCTX-M genes (CTX-M-1, CTX-M-55 or CTX-M-15), which confer resistance to third generation cephalosporin antimicrobials. One E. coli isolate demonstrated resistance to colistin and was found to possess the mcr-1 gene. The five Salmonella-positive samples recovered from this study, and 20 similar Salmonella-positive samples from a previous UKHSA (2020/2021) study (which had been stored frozen), were subjected to the cooking procedures described on the sample product packaging for fan assisted ovens. No Salmonella were detected in any of these 25 samples after cooking. The current survey provides evidence of the presence of Salmonella in frozen, breaded and battered chicken products in the UK food chain, although at a considerably lower incidence than reported in an earlier (2020/2021) study carried out by PHE/UKHSA as part of an outbreak investigation where Salmonella prevalence was found to be 8.8%. The current survey also provides data on the prevalence of specified AMR bacteria found in the tested chicken products on retail sale in the UK. It will contribute to monitoring trends in AMR prevalence over time within the UK, support comparisons with data from other countries, and provide a baseline against which to monitor the impact of future interventions. While AMR activity was observed in some of the E. coli and Salmonella spp. examined in this study, the risk of acquiring AMR bacteria from consumption of these processed chicken products is low if the products are cooked thoroughly and handled hygienically.
