Abstract:
This study furthers sociological understanding of children as consumers by adopting a
CA-infomied discourse analytical approach to examining preschoolers' talk-ininteraction
around commercial material artefacts in a focus group setting. A concern
with how much or conversely how little the 'developing' child consumer knows and
understands about how the marketplace operates and how they fit within it as a
'choosing subject' has dominated thinking and debate on children as consumers. This
study moves beyond the empowered-exploited dichotomy to address the 'choosing'
child consumer through interactional lenses.
