The Invisibility and Remodeling of the Macro Structure:An Analytical Framework Based on Consumption
In the new development stage,consumption serves as a growing driving force for the economy,and the impact of the macro-external environment upon consumption behavior is becoming more significant.Different disciplines are exploring measures to expand consumption and routes to a more sustainable lifestyle.However,traditional research is constrained by paradigms such as socio-economic status and attitude-behavior,resulting in inadequate systemic consideration of the impact of the macro-external environment.The"dual structure"framework emphasizes that the macro-external environment imposes structural constraints on consumption:material provisions and cultural conventions shared by society,influence consumption behavior via multiple mechanisms.As a product of a complex structure,consumption can be understood in terms of provision-convention-consumption dynamics.Theoretical and empirical analyses point to an action framework composed of multi-agent and multi-practice synergy,emphasizing that the transformation of consumption should be motivated by facilitating the macro-external environment.Remodeling the macro-structural analysis of consumption can be an important stimulus to broadening the scope of empirical research on consumption sociology and promoting high-quality development.
