Journal of Consumer Culture is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on consumption, identity, and material culture. It publishes work in cultural studies, sociology, and interdisciplinary fields, connecting scholarship associated with John F. Kennedy School of Government, London School of Economics, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, and other global institutions. The journal engages debates linked to prominent scholars affiliated with Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Thorstein Veblen, Max Weber, and Karl Marx traditions.
The journal was established in 2001 amid rising interest from scholars at University of Manchester, University of Warwick, Goldsmiths, University of London, University of Glasgow, and University of Edinburgh in the cultural dimensions of consumption. Early editors and contributors included researchers connected to projects at British Academy, Economic and Social Research Council, European Sociological Association, American Sociological Association, and Association for Consumer Research. Over the 2000s it expanded through partnerships with research centres at Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, Harvard University, and Princeton University. Editorial transitions involved academics with affiliations to University of Melbourne, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Amsterdam, and University of Copenhagen.
The journal aims to advance analysis of consumption practices studied by scholars linked to Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies, Institute of Advanced Study, Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences, and disciplinary networks across Sociological Association of Ireland, Society for the Study of Social Problems, and International Sociological Association. It solicits empirical, theoretical, and methodological work that dialogues with traditions associated with Julia Kristeva, Stuart Hall, Zygmunt Bauman, Arjun Appadurai, and Donna Haraway. Topics include studies connected to markets and firms tracked by Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Apple Inc., Walmart, and Amazon (company), and cultural phenomena studied in contexts such as Paris, New York City, Mumbai, Shanghai, and São Paulo.
The journal is indexed and abstracted in major services used by researchers at Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, ProQuest, and JSTOR-using libraries connected to British Library, Library of Congress, National Library of Australia, Bibliothèque nationale de France, and Deutsche Nationalbibliothek. It is discoverable in citation databases relied on by scholars affiliated with Clarivate Analytics, Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis Group, and Wiley-Blackwell-linked institutions. The journal’s metrics appear alongside datasets curated by teams at Google Scholar, ORCID, Crossref, ResearchGate, and Academia.edu.
Editorial leadership has included scholars with ties to University of York, University of Leeds, University of Birmingham, Rutgers University, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The editorial board draws members from departments at University of Notre Dame, University of Pittsburgh, Northwestern University, University of Sydney, and Australian National University. Peer review follows anonymous double-blind procedures comparable to policies used by journals of American Anthropological Association, British Sociological Association, Royal Anthropological Institute, European Journal of Cultural Studies, and Cultural Sociology. Special issues are guest-edited by academics affiliated with King's College London, Queen Mary University of London, University College London, University of Amsterdam, and University of Copenhagen.
Published by SAGE Publications on a triannual schedule, the journal circulates to subscribers at libraries such as Harvard Library, Bodleian Library, Cambridge University Library, Trinity College Dublin Library, and National Diet Library (Japan). Institutional access is managed through platforms used by JSTOR, Project MUSE, SAGE Journals Online, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest Central. The journal’s publication practices align with standards set by Committee on Publication Ethics, DOAJ, and funder mandates from Wellcome Trust, European Research Council, and National Science Foundation-funded projects.
Published articles have influenced debates associated with scholars at Zygmunt Bauman, Pierre Bourdieu, Sarah Thornton, Elizabeth Shove, and Daniel Miller and have been cited by research from teams at University College London, London School of Economics, New York University, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of Texas at Austin. Notable special issues have engaged topics connected to Consumerism, materiality explored in curatorial projects at Victoria and Albert Museum, branding studies intersecting with work on Nike, Inc., Coca-Cola, and Starbucks Corporation, and ethical consumption linked to policy debates at European Commission, United Nations Environment Programme, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
