The turn of “almost everything” to the quality of commodity reflects a contemporary process known as commodification (or commoditization). As this process promotes long-term impacts on the constitution of societies, it calls for a reflection on the sociological field of “what” can be bought and sold...

description The turn of “almost everything” to the quality of commodity reflects a contemporary process known as commodification (or commoditization).

After extensive review of the transdisciplinary academic literature, this paper summarizes the multiple forms of commodification in contemporary consumer practices. The examples involve tangible goods and symbolic aspects of daily life that become alienable, revealing how the culture, music, food, natural resources, places, violence, body parts, sex, traditions, education, religion and even emotions begin to have value in the market arena.
