Biography
Domen Bajde is Professor of Consumption, Culture and Commerce at the University of Southern Denmark. His research explores diverse aspects of consumer culture and the formation of markets, often through the interpretive lens of relational, socio-material theories. He has also extensively explored moralized consumption and market dynamics, such as consumer responsibilization and the affective structures and apparatuses underpinning it. His recent projects investigate technological and cultural transformations in how we consume and own digital stuff, how digital platforms attempt to govern their users, and the existential role of rituals in digitalized late modernity.
