Özet

The main idea of many studies in the field of social sciences is human needs and consumption behaviours to meet these needs. The most important reasons why needs and consumption issues are frequently researched can be expressed as the importance of consumption in human life and the change in human needs due to changing living conditions. The phenomenon of consumption, which can be explained by social classes or work roles in the modern period, has become a concept that is examined from different perspectives in the postmodern period. Because the behaviours of the postmodern people are not similar to the behaviours of people living in previous periods, postmodern conditions cause daily life to be different from previous periods. Consumption products of the postmodern period have started to carry symbolic value rather than functional value for consumers, and products have now become communication tools. People are now consuming the products to show their personalities and lifestyles to other people and to be liked by other people. As a result of the desire to show his personality and lifestyle to other people and to be liked by them, the man himself has become an object of consumption. In this study, which was prepared to explain this change and transformation in the meaning of the concept of consumption, firstly the relationship between needs and consumption was revealed, then the way the concept of need was handled in the West and the Islamic world was examined, and finally, the meanings that postmodern consumers attributed to products and consumption were explained. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
