Abstract

Around the world, people are facing many changes which are impacting consumer behaviour. Over time, new ways of consuming have been developed to respond to today's global issues.&#13;One of the most convincing challenges is to reverse climate change. To this end, new solutions are emerging, such as the sharing economy model. This study analysed the extent to which the sharing economy model can impact the marketing of luxury goods and services. We focused specifically on the luxury fashion rental market because the fashion industry is one of the most polluting sectors in the world.&#13;In our analysis, we noticed a dissonance between the sharing economy model and the luxury market. The sharing economy model allows access to goods and services, while luxury promises prestige and exclusivity. In other words, these are two opposing worlds that could become complementary to meet a new demand. The aim was to highlight the consumer's perception and attitude through this integration. We established four initial research questions concerning the influence on the attitude and perception of the consumer towards luxury brands, the impact on the perception of exclusivity as well as the interest of this type of service among the new generations.&#13;Our investigation of the phenomenon was twofold. First, we conducted a literature review to ascertain key concepts. Then, we performed an exploratory qualitative study involving 20 respondents aged between 24 and 32 years who possessed different socio-demographic profiles. Our research was based more heavily on psychological aspects which have not been thoroughly investigated: the perception of and the attitude of the consumer towards a luxury fashion rental service.&#13;We were able to identify the main motivation as the sustainable aspect. The consumer is inclined to participate in the rental of luxury items to exhibit ethical behaviour. Another identified motivation is the economic aspect with a reduction in costs affords other consumer profiles access to these luxury items. The social aspect was additionally highlighted, as the sharing economy allows for interaction and a certain proximity between consumers. Accessibility was another essential concept. It encompasses several benefits for the consumer as well as hedonism, which guides consumer behaviour in an emotional rather than rational way. Experience is central to both the sharing economy and luxury.&#13;In addition, a barrier was identified that marked the dichotomy of this research: exclusivity. Exclusivity is fundamental to the perceptions of and attitudes towards luxury brands. Providing access to luxury goods and services can be perceived as positive for certain criteria but can also negatively impact luxury marketing. This is because the sense of group membership, conspicuous consumption, prestige and perceived desire in luxury fashion consumption gradually diminishes.&#13;In conclusion, this research highlighted the perceived benefits and risks to the sharing economy and luxury. In so doing, its enhanced understanding of the positive and negative impact of consumer perceptions on attitudes on luxury marketing and towards the luxury fashion rental market.

Abstract

People are said to acquire their affiliations of ethnicity, race, and sex at birth. Hence, these affiliations have long been understood to be natural, independent of the ability of political societies to define who we are. Reproducing the State vigorously challenges the conventional view, as well as post-structuralist scholarship that minimizes state power. Jacqueline Stevens examines birth-based theories of membership and group affiliations in political societies ranging from the Athenian polis, to tribes of Australia, to the French republic, to the contemporary United States. The book details how political societies determine the kinship rules that are used to reproduce political societies. Stevens analyzes the ways that ancestral and territorial birth rules for membership in political societies pattern other intergenerational affiliations. She shows how the notion of ethnicity depends on the implicit or explicit invocation of a past, present, or future political society. She also shows how geography is used to represent political regions, including continents, as the seemingly natural underpinning for racial taxonomies perpetuated through miscegenation laws and birth certificates. And Stevens argues that sex differences are also constituted through membership practices of political societies. In its chronological and disciplinary range, Reproducing the State will reward the interest of scholars in many fields, including anthropology, history, political science, sociology, women's studies, race studies, and ethnic studies.

Abstract

This book is a spectacular introduction to the modern mathematical discipline known as the Theory of Games. Harold Kuhn first presented these lectures at Princeton University in 1952. They succinctly convey the essence of the theory, in part through the prism of the most exciting developments at its frontiers half a century ago. Kuhn devotes considerable space to topics that, while not strictly the subject matter of game theory, are firmly bound to it. These are taken mainly from the geometry of convex sets and the theory of probability distributions. The book opens by addressing "matrix games," a name first introduced in these lectures as an abbreviation for two-person, zero-sum games in normal form with a finite number of pure strategies. It continues with a treatment of games in extensive form, using a model introduced by the author in 1950 that quickly supplanted von Neumann and Morgenstern's cumbersome approach. A final section deals with games that have an infinite number of pure strategies for the two players. Throughout, the theory is generously illustrated with examples, and exercises test the reader's understanding. A historical note caps off each chapter. For readers familiar with the calculus and with elementary matrix theory or vector analysis, this book offers an indispensable store of vital insights on a subject whose importance has only grown with the years.

Abstract

At the heart of human intelligence rests a fundamental puzzle: How are we incredibly smart and stupid at the same time? No existing machine can match the power and flexibility of human perception, language, and reasoning. Yet, we routinely commit errors that reveal the failures of our thought processes. 'What Makes Us Smart' makes sense of this paradox by arguing that our cognitive errors are not haphazard. Rather, they are the inevitable consequences of a brain optimized for efficient inference and decision making within the constraints of time, energy, and memory - in other words, data and resource limitations. Framing human intelligence in terms of these constraints, Samuel Gershman shows how a deeper computational logic underpins the 'stupid' errors of human cognition.
