The Concept of "Consumption" in School Textbooks during the Democratic Transition in Spain (1977-1982)
González-Delgado, Mariano; Ferraz-Lorenzo, Manuel
Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society, v10 n2 p109-128 Sep 2018
This article explains the approach to mass consumption developed in social studies textbooks in the early years of the transition to democracy in Spain. It begins by examining the way in which school textbooks represented consumer society and mass media in the late 1970s. This is followed by an in-depth explanation of the reasons that led the authors of these textbooks to choose one theoretical framework over another. Above all, this article emphasizes the complexity and variety of the historical materials used to represent consumer society, and how this process of social construction is reflected in the textbook content of the time.
