The Symbolic Consumption in the Tween’s Lifestyle Formation
Keywords:
Symbolic Consumption, Lifestyle, Trademarks, Needs, Tweens.Abstract
The world is currently facing more than ever new consumption forms loaded with symboliccontents to show certain appearance or to judge others; the sense of property is shown as a
primary indicator of who you are and how you relate to others. This article pretends, first, to
glimpse the goods and trademarks acquisition or possession as an expression of individuals; and
second, to understand the role that symbolic consumption plays in the tween’s lifestyle. The
author’s intention is to show the need to generate some understanding of social consumption
phenomena taking tween’s consumers as subjects of study.
