It focuses on the dilemma that the diffusion of the concepts of sustainability and recycling has posed for everyday consumption practices, and on how these concepts have affected, and were affected by, the production and consumption of art. Special attention is paid to the changes in consumption practices and environmental consciousness among the Japanese public that have occurred since the 1990s and in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters of March 2011 Analysis consumption recycling art commodification japan Notes Issued as part of book collections on Project MUSE Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record Subject Salvage (Waste, etc.) -- Japan Consumer behavior -- Japan Consumption (Economics) -- Environmental aspects -- Japan Consumption (Economics) -- Japan Consumer behavior Consumption (Economics) Consumption (Economics) -- Environmental aspects Salvage (Waste, etc.) Social conditions SUBJECT Japan -- Social conditions -- 1989- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008001967 Subject Japan Form Electronic book Author Machotka, Ewa, editor Cwiertka, Katarzyna Joanna, 1968- editor.
