Charisma: Consumer Market Studies
Welcome to the new website for people interested in Consumer Markets.
This site launched in late February, with the support of two partners: CRESC and the Journal of Cultural Economy.
Charisma aims to bring together academics, policymakers and practitioners interested in how consumers, finance, institutions and devices interact in markets.
It takes a robustly interdisciplinary approach to consumer market research since we believe that properly understanding the mix of devices and desires that drive markets means being open to experimental, visual, digital, as well as more traditional techniques, methods, theories and perspectives. The site is divided into four areas, broadly expressing the interests of network members: Markets, Consumption, Finance, and Histories.
If you are interested in contributing to the site, or in joining the network, please visit the Take Part page for more information.
Thanks also to all those that offered and advice and support to make this possible.
