Everyday eBay: Culture, Collecting, and Desire
Edited by Ken Hillis and Michael Petit with Nathan Epley
Routledge, April 2006
Everyday eBay is the first book-length scholarly analysis of eBay that
examines how the site has become a global social, cultural, and economic
phenomenon. The nineteen interdisciplinary essays in the volume approach
eBay from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives, revealing how the
auction site has become a bellwether of taste and material culture, a
research tool, a nexus for the increasingly ubiquitous practice of selling
and buying goods online, and a neoliberal facilitator of global
consumerism.
Ken Hillis is Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
