Using a critical lens, we discuss two community performances of sustainable consumer culture from the Global South to highlight the subversive consumption performances in the Global South market, which has the potency to ontologically denaturalize the Global North market’s standard-normalized Western discourses of sustainability that tend to legitimize social inequalities and the seizing of agency by marginalized consumers of subsistence marketplace. The article contributes to both sustainability and consumer culture literature by proposing a new research agenda: the way sustainable consumption culture projects and negotiates identity in the Global South, especially at the margin. We highlight how traditional sustainable prosumption of subaltern subjects of th...

Along with that, the dynamic socio-cultural-ethico-political environment of the millennium has compelled businesses to rethink their operations and reach. Given this background, AMSICON comes as a perfect pan-disciplinary platform to pitch researches pertaining to the same.
The aim of the conference is to build episteme in areas of Marketing, Finance & Economics, IT & Operations, HR & Organizational Studies, Leadership Studies, Communication, Gender & Culture Studies.
We went through your profile and we feel that your research in the field of consumer self-identity and consumer psychology will enlighten the knowledge of other participants, researchers, industrialists, and students. Therefore, we would like to request you to submit a research paper and present it in AMSICON 2021.

Race and nationalism are distinct for Gellner and are hence disassociated from each other. But, a more discerning reading of Gellner would make us think otherwise. In Nations and Nationalisms Gellner is of the view that a group of " entropy resistant " " blue people " always remain inassimilable within the national culture. It is this aporia in the otherwise homogenous nation that leads to the formation of nation within a nation. The Whiteness study theorists of Australia have hitherto overlooked this particular aspect of the Gellnerian thought while dealing with the formation of a White Australia. In my paper I would therefore like to substantiate the process of formation of a White Australian nation (through select examples, especially during the early stages of White nation formation by the settlers in Australia) through the theories of Ernest Gellner that talks about the attempt to subsume the " blue people " in the monolithic, modern, uppish, urban, nationalist discourse. In the process my paper would also reveal how the Indigenous Australians were positioned within the White Gellnerian nationalism that emerged from the invasion and " settlement " of Australia.
