Annie Ernaux was recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature for her analysis of contemporary society and the relationship between individuals and collectives. Her literary works, written from the perspective of ordinary people, challenged cultural hierarchies leading some critics to express skepticism about the motivations behind her receiving the award. This paper explores the literary characteristics and potential reading directions of Ernaux’s three essays on daily life in suburban new town, published between 1993 and 2014. Based on consumer behaviorial studies of the shopping experience, the narrative involving shopping malls is considered in three dimensions: sensory reception, behavioral practice, and ideology. The analysis examines how re-enchanted marketing and sales mechanisms within the shopping space shape consumer behavior, as well as how the shopping experience is reflective of values inherent in contemporary consumer culture. This approach aims to break the boundaries between traditional literature and social sciences, highlighting new literary forms and perspectives arising from the complexities of place and time. |
