Consumption and Digital Commodities in the Everyday

Summary/Abstract: The category of the everyday has designated in social theory the remainder, what is left over after the important regions of politics and production. This left consumption in the under-theorized domain of the everyday. Since Veblen and more recently Baudrillard and de Certeau, consumption has been reconfigured as significant in its own right, as a complex, articulated area related directly to culture. Liberal thinkers have also claimed consumer activity as central to society, as the domain where the individual is realized. I shall review these positions and attempt to develop an understanding of consumption in daily life in relation to digital cultural objects. I shall argue that these mediated commodities, in the practices of appropriation connected with them, configure subjects in ways that are difficult to reconcile with existing structures of domination.
