A continuing cry for the new, it is said, drives
present-day consumerism. People are producing and buying new goods
in ever-larger quantities. However, in the past, consumer choices
for new products were paralleled and even overlapped by
structurally embedded practices such as re-use, recycling and
resale. Unfortunately far too little is known about these important
practices. The birth of a consumer society was
grounded not only in the appearance of new products and new
industries; a similar drive manifested itself in the handling,
buying and selling of second-hand.
In this book then the editors confront and integrate historical
research on the world of the new and the old. Papers focus on the
relationship between material culture and novelty, fashion and
innovation on the one hand; and/or patina, second-hand and
re-cycling on the other. Differences existed in the use of old and
new products according to time, place, social and gender groups. By
paying close attention to this historical diversity, this book
explores the changing meanings and motivations of consumption. The
geographical coverage will be an urban one. The studied time frame
will be the long eighteenth-century (from circa 1650
until 1900). It was only then that rapid fashion changes, new
imports and spreading industrialization changed the existing
material culture dramatically. However, comparisons crossing time
and place do place sweeping modern assumptions in
perspective. After all: who can decipher how the concepts old and
new are changing today, with the current popularity of more
responsible (social and ecological) forms of consumption and
recycling, and with vintage-clothing and antique furniture back en
vogue

Consumption is now a critical
issue in late medieval and early modern historical and cultural
studies. While we know increasingly about regulatory systems, we
know much less about the daily practice of buying and selling. This
book brings together contributions from urban historians,
social historians and art historians to explore the issues of
exchange, shopping behavior, social interactions, gender and
physical space. Contributions deal with Italy, the Low Countries
and England.
In the articles in this volume
lines of continuity between the medieval and early modern period
have been stressed. In addition, some critical questions have been
raised. Were markets necessarily less "modern" compared to "fixed
shops" How did changing consumers and consumer patterns interact
with the retailer The essays published here also emphasize the
need to study different commercial circuits in their context. These
circuits often overlapped and could not artificially be isolated
from one another.
