- Abstract
- The concept of “affectively saturated markets”is introduced based on the materials of the funeral services market research. These are, in addition to the funeral services market, wedding services, life insurance and internal organ donation markets. Their existence is culturally conditioned and represents a compromise between the sphere of the sacred and the profane. They are characterized by irrational consumption; their functioning is based on monetary equivalents of sacred things.
- Keywords
