Course in English, MA-level. This course aims at introducing you to the study of luxury as historical and socio- cultural phenomenon that has affected western societies in various ways.
Research in the field of luxury has been early established as part of Fashion Studies at Stockholm University. An ever-growing research field.
Since the 20th century, the luxury industry has been using different marketing strategies that have helped brands and houses to create and perpetuate a myth around their products.
Central to the course is to explore the effects of media, including social media, on the creation of luxury as a branded reality.
The course highlights also the tensions surrounding luxury today, being both a product of giant conglomerates and an individual gratifying experience. Meaning and creation of value of products will be seen through the lens of different sociological theories that can help framing luxury in a larger socio-cultural context. The course puts forth the fundamental view of luxury as having both material (the tangible handicraft) and immaterial (ontological) elements which will be examined through different empirical material.
