The post-revolutionary consumer generation: mainstream youth and the paradox of choice in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since the collapse of the communist regime in the former Czechoslovakia in 1989, there has been an increasing recognition that the experience of young people in the Czech Republic offers a useful indicator of changing social, cultural and political trends. However, young people's experience of consumption as a response to social transformation has not been given sufficient attention. Any conception of young consumers in the Czech Republic tends to dismiss them as a materialistic, hedonistic, egocentricand conformist generation. This article challenges these stereotypes arguing that an empirically informed understanding of young people's relationship to consumption provides a means of understanding the social and cultural implications of post-socialisttransitions. The notion of the mainstream provides a particularly useful means of understanding the conflicting nature of young people's choices in a risk society, while providing an alternative perspective on youth's consumption.
