Little Monsters (de)coupling Assemblages of Consumption

By bringing along Actor Network Theory, entities that in conventional approaches are taken for granted, such as consumers, goods and companies proves to be unstable assemblages of humans, goods and technologies. This collection challenges most of the common places about consumption, production, markets and consumers.
