Passion, Play and the everyday: Oral history and the consumer society
17-18 June 2006

This event will explore how people have been affected by changing
lifestyles as the ‘consumer society’ has grown, in sport, food, fashion,
music, media, tourism, heritage, health, education and technology.
Questions will be asked about changes in political, corporate and
consumer power, the influence of the media, individual and group
identity, the relation between choice, freedom and regulation, ethical
consumption, pleasure and desire, the changing role of leisure and the
relationship between consumption and production.

The conference will bring a wide variety of people to Sheffield who use
oral history in their work or have an interest in the media, museums,
education, community history and entertainment. It will also appeal to
anyone interested in local history, sports history and the consumer society.
