‘The wild and wacky worlds of consumer oddballs’: Analyzing the manifestary context of consumer culture theory

Matthias Bode; Per Østergaard

The article starts with the assumption that the research community of consumer culture theory (CCT) is materially experienced and negotiated in its continuous rhetorical construction. Here, we use the concept of manifestos to analyze the fragile dialectics of a rhetorical and social praxis. In two manifestary moments in the historical development of CCT, we compare how manifestos materialize the transitions from individuals to the linked subjects by a shared relation to ‘the other’. The analysis shows how the ‘we’ of yesterday was written differently from how the ‘we’ of the present and the future requires to be articulated. This sense of ‘we-ness’ is then connected to the changes in the internal and external layers of the academic environment. We conclude that to ensure a sustainable, dynamic development of CCT that avoids disintegration as well as eroding subjugation and stasis, a balance between radical and pragmatic voices has to be established. This balance incorporates the idea that power and knowledge are dynamically intertwined. In this sense, ‘we-ness’ is not a utopian final state, but a permanent necessity for CCT that emerges out of struggles and engages in conflicts.

Das Geschlecht der Marketingwissenschaft

Matthias Bode; Ursula Hansen

„Ihre eigentliche Erfullung finden Frauen im Konsum.“ Spatestens seit der amerikanischen TV-Erfolgsserie „Sex and the City“ hat sich dieses Klischee in ein von Mannern und Frauen geteiltes Glaubensbekenntnis gewandelt. Der Romanautor Emile Zola (1883) wusste davon schon Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zu berichten. Bezug nehmend auf den damals entstehenden neuen Betriebstypus des Warenhauses, berichtete er detailliert von den Einkaufserlebnissen im „Paradies der Damen“: „Frau Marty kaufte, von ihrer Sucht nach Aufwand fortgerissen, wahllos alles im ,Paradies der Damen‘, was sie zufallig in den Auslagen sah; Frau Guibal wanderte stundenlang dort umher, ohne jemals einen Einkauf zu tatigen, glucklich und zufrieden mit der Augenweide; Frau de Boves, die knapp bei Kasse und immer von allzu grosen Wunschen geplagt war, zurnte den Waren, die sie nicht mitnehmen konnte; Frau Bourdelais ging mit dem Spursinn einer klugen und praktischen Burgersfrau ohne Umschweife auf alle wohlfeilen Gelegenheiten los und machte sich die grosen Warenhauser mit einer solchen Geschicklichkeit einer guten, von jeder Erregung freien Hausfrau zunutze, das es ihr grose Ersparnisse eintrug; die sehr elegante Henriette endlich kaufte dort nur bestimmte Artikel, ihre Handschuhe, Wirkwaren, alle grobere Wasche“ (Zola, 1976, S. 128f.).

Broadening the brandfest: play and ludic agency

Dannie Kjeldgaard; Matthias Bode

Purpose Brandfests are conceptualized as marketer-initiated events that facilitate consumers’ individual and social engagements with brands. After its inception in the late 1990s, the concept of brandfests was quickly folded into the concept of brand community, leaving conceptual and strategic opportunities untapped. The purpose of the paper is to suggest a broadened conceptualization of brandfests based on the play theory and the notion of ludic interagency. Design/methodology/approach This paper includes a longitudinal study and ethnographic method. Findings Unlike previously studied brandfests, this context entails a low-involvement product, a brand that is not the focal point for participants, a broad range of market-facing enactors, shifting roles and the realization of multiple meanings and values for multiple enactors. The findings demonstrate that brand meaning and value can be constituted through ludic engagement of a broad range of market-facing enactors through a ludic spectacle such as a brandfest. Moreover, the authors find that this can go on outside the established spatial and temporal frames normally considered by the marketing literature. Research limitations/implications This has implications for theories of emplacement (servicescape) and brand meaning actualization in terms of where, when and whom is involved in brand meaning actualization. Practical implications The paper develops four strategic propositions which broaden the type of brandfests that allow managers to define a range of potential strategies for engaging consumers and other enactors in a broader range of brandfests. Originality/value The paper reconceptualizes a dormant concept in the marketing literature to develop strategic implications based on the play theory. It challenges the prevalent centrality of the brand and consumer brand involvement.

Werte betriebswirtschaftlicher Professoren in Forschung und Lehre

h.c. Ursula Hansen; Dirk Moosmayer; Matthias Bode

Es gibt deutsche Marketingwissenschaftler, die sich durch ihre Forschungsarbeiten auszeichnen. Dann gibt es welche, die sich besonders intensiv um die Weiterentwicklung der Managementausbildung und des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses kummern. Heribert Meffert gehort zu den wenigen Ausnahmen, denen beide Aspekte, sowohl die Forschung als auch die Lehre, gleichermasen am Herzen liegen und dies auch aktiv in ihrer Arbeit umzusetzen vermogen. Dabei wies er schon fruh darauf hin, dass die Wahrnehmung einer gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung innerhalb der Marketingwissenschaft proaktiv zu verfolgen sei und nicht einfach nur als Reaktion auf zukunftige Rahmenentwicklungen (vgl. z.B. Meffert 1978).
