Discussion board: feedback, open discussion and online-conference


In March 2005 we activated our discussion board. After registration users had been enabled to make their own suggestions for the online-discussion. We especially wanted to discuss recent topics or events related to the research on "political" or "politicised" consumption. There was also the posibility for feedback to the content of our conference-website.

On the other hand a online-conference about the "underestimated consumer-power - prospects for the new consumer movement" had taken place on this homepage. An international group of scientists in the research-field "political sociology of consumption" was asked to present their papers online on this website and discuss their ideas and thoughts in our online-forum.
The elaborations of these papers are now published in the "Forschungsjournal Neue Soziale Bewegung" (4/2005). English abstracts are available here.

The board is now closed.
