PhD: Doctoral dissertation in sociology. Passed with excellence. Doctoral dissertation focussed on overcoming the conceptual and empirical shortcomings of neo-Marxist and other productivistic approaches to modern social change in the humanities and social sciences. It portrays consumer practices as an essential dimension of struggles for recognition in circuits of market exchange, centralised redistribution and social reciprocity and develops an approach to consumption potentially applicable to a wide range of modern social settings, using case studies from post-Second World War South Africa in the fields of housing, healing and clothing.
