Abstract

This research contributes to prior work on stigmatisation by looking at stigmatisation and legitimisation as social processes in the context of TV series consumption. Using in-depth interviews, we show that the dynamics of legitimisation are complex and accompanied by the reproduction of existing stigmas and creation of new stigmas.

OtherThe theme of EACR 2013 is: "Consumer Research in turbulent times: Managing a balancing act". For four years now, messages on how our economic and financial systems going through turbulent times have dominated news reports. Numbers rolling by on ticker tapes might not mean much to most people, but we are assured one thing: things are bad, and we better prepare for tough times. At the same time, consumers have been declared to be the engine of the economy, and they are called upon to restore prosperity through generous spending. Such contradictory demands leave consumers confused.
