ABSTRACT

In the research of modern Korean history, consumption culture has been studied intermittently in the limited materials and specific areas, and vast research achievements have not been accumulated nor has an agreed historical recognition been reached. Therefore, in order to revitalize consumption culture research, this thesis shows the fact that the topics related to consumption research are broad and diverse, and raises the need to re-evaluate consumption in the historical past. Through a review of existing studies, I tried to raise questions and throw ideas to fully reveal the possibilities and future of the rich areas that research needs to be challenged: such as the making of mass-consumption society, the policy and discourse of consumption, the social history of consumer goods for daily necessities, luxury consumption and cultural symbolism, leisure culture and popular culture, and the problem of the subject as a consumer.
