Learning to Consume: An Ethnographic Study of Cultural Change in Hungary.
James, Beverly
Critical Studies in Mass Communication, v12 n3 p287-305 Sep 1995
Investigates the ways in which social actors in Hungary--cultural producers as well as the lay public--conceptualize and articulate their experiences as subjects in that nation's transition to a culture of consumption. Discusses three recurrent themes: the lure of the capitalist West, the alien nature of materialism, and the legacy of Communism and its attitudes toward consumerism. (SR)
