My TEDx Talk on “How Consumption Promotes Political Visions” January 2019
Humbled by great company (e.g. Open Society Foundations) I talked in Oslo to Formuesforvaltnings clients, about possible future philanthropic and political consumption. In the movie below you can find my speech at 2.01 and twenty minutes forward.
How does political consumption effect the consumer experience of editorial and advertorial context?
Speaking about what’s going on in the consumer cultural landscape, in the company of Henrik Mittelman and Alexander Bard among others. What’s bubbling and what’s not? What is the future consumer culture like in relation to investments and capital? The various talks during this day will result in a Burenstam edited anthology on trends in 2015.
Thisl conference problematizes urbanization as fact and discourse; that 250 of the Swedish municipalities are losing their young (18-25 years) inhabitants to the cities. Is this urbanization an inevitable and unstoppable fate inherent in a globalized market economy? Can we see other tendencies? This day I will talk about the “neogreen consumer” as an example of such tendencies. Even if s/he doesn’t stop the powerful forces of urbanization the neogreen consumer successively nuances and directs new positive attention towards rural and “rurban” life.
