Abstract

Ovaj rad je istražio koncept društvene solidarnosti unutar okvira konzumerističkog društva, s posebnim naglaskom na način na koji se ovi dvaju fenomena međusobno isprepliću i utječu jedan na drugog. Konzumerizam, karakteriziran naglaskom na individualnoj potrošnji i ekonomskom uspjehu, često se percipira kao suprotan društvenoj solidarnosti, koja se temelji na kolektivnoj brizi i zajedničkoj odgovornosti. Rad je obuhvatio analizu kako konzumeristički uvjeti oblikuju različite obrasce društvene solidarnosti i kako se solidarnost može manifestirati u različitim oblicima u ovom kontekstu. Kroz pregled literature i empirijskih studija, rad je pokazao da, iako konzumerizam može doprinositi povećanju socijalnih nejednakosti, istovremeno omogućava i razvoj novih platformi i inicijativa koje promoviraju društvenu solidarnost.

Abstract (english)

This paper explored the concept of social solidarity within the frames of consumerist society with special focus on how these two phenomena interwine and influence each other. Consumerism, characterized by an emphasis on individual consumption and economic success, is often know to be perceived as being in opposition to social solidarity, which is based on collective care and shared responsibility. This paper covered the analysis on how consumerist coditions shape different patterns of social solidarity and how it can be manifested in various forms within this context. Through a review of literature and empirical studies, the paper demonstrated that, although consumerism may contribute to increasing of social inequalities, it simuntaneously enables the development of new platforms and iniciatives that help promote social solidarity.
