Opis

Open-air markets are as old as the market towns they spawned, but in the modern world of 24-hour shopping, credit cards, superstores, sprawling malls and one-stop shopping do they still have a place in the contemporary social landscape? Are continental and farmers' markets the answer? What do shoppers, traders and councils have to say about the places they shop in, work in and control? "Markets as Sites for Social Interaction" is the first comprehensive account of English markets as a social space. It investigates markets throughout the country and comes to some surprising conclusions about the roles that they play in the world of modern Britain. It sets out the everyday cultural practices that inform and sustain markets as a crucial part of our social fabric. The report offers: a series of suggestions for their rejuvenation; a glimpse of their potential in improving our lives, from community employment to individual health; and concludes with a powerful endorsement of their continued relevance to our social life.
