摘要
Extending resistance theories, this article examines multi-method data spanning over seven years of events related to a holiday market. in the context of Valentine's Day, the authors present findings and develop knowledge on anti-consumption and alternative consumption. Specifically, this article introduces the recurring events of gift-resistance, retail-resistance, and market-resistance. Such consumer resistance often coexists with movements towards individualism and creation of more unique alternative consumption traditions. Published by Elsevier Inc.
