Meeting Description:

KEYNOTES
Prof. Dr. Arran Stibbe, University of Gloucestershire
Prof. Dr. Göran Eriksson, Örebro University

We invite abstracts for this two-day interdisciplinary symposium that engages
with the ways in which ideas of sustainability intersect with consumer
experience within the ephemerality of consumer encounters. At a time of
emergent, unpredictable, and multi-dimensional outcomes of sustainability
transitions, there is an urgent need to rethink questions such as: how do
sustainability transitions change consumer space and experience; how is a
consumer like a tourist; how is a product like a place; and how are global
aspirations mediated though local consumption? Exploring the ways in which
provisioning and cultural ecosystem services and products are semioticized
towards sustainability/sustainable future, we organize this symposium as a
welcoming space for fresh discussions which engage with various approaches and
methodologies. Topics explored will include but are not limited to:

- Environment, objects and materialities 
- Brand narratives and sustainable luxury
- “Eco” discourse(s) and the role of language in “green-washing”
- Visualization of idealized landscapes
- Semiotic analysis of new foodscapes
- The exoticization of “health”
- The moralization of packaging provenance


Call for Papers:

The symposium will produce a peer-reviewed proceedings, so we ask applicants
to consider preferably those projects which will be publishable in a timely
manner. No fees are required for this symposium. To attend the symposium,
applicants are required to send an abstract to melody.ross at uni-due.de no later
than 1 April 2023.

This symposium is being organized by Prof. Dr. Maida Kosatica and Dr. Melody
Ann Ross. Please direct your questions and practical inquiries to
