Summary: This book gives the reader an opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary understanding and appreciation of the nature of marketing theory and practice. It does so by drawing on the insights and research available from multiple academic disciplines, not so much the typical resources of behavioural economics or psychology that inform the mainstream of marketing and consumer research. Instead, the book draws upon important interdisciplinary resources that can lend the subject of marketing considerable intellectual excitement and strength: sociology, philosophy, linguistics, the visual and performing arts, literature, psychology, history and so on
