«(…) Consumption uses goods to make firm and visible a particular set of judgments in the fluid processes of classifying persons and events. We have now defined it as ritual activity.»
«(…) Within the available time and space the individual uses consumption to say something about himself, his family, his locality (…). Consumption is an active process in which all the social categories are being continually redefined.»
