Abstract

Consumer capitalism is transforming real geographical knowledge into imaginary one through commodity fetishism. As a result, students' ability to think themselves and commodity relationally become weak. Thus, the students cannot recognize the positional meanings of themselves in the global networks of food and ethically perceive environmental issues that generate due to the interrelation between the students and the commodity networks. In these problematic consciousness and situations, this research examine relation of commodity consumption and ethics through hamburger connection and insists that geographical education helps the students acquire insight into the relationship between food and themselves through relational thinking.

소비 자본주의는 상품 물신화 전략을 통해 상품에 내재되어 있는 실재적인 지리적 지식을 상상적인 지리적 지식으로 대체시켜 나간다. 이로 인해 현대의 소비자 세계 속에서 학생들은 상품의 실재 세계와 단절되고 상품이 가지는 지리적 삶을 망각하게 됨으로써 결국 자신과 상품을 관계적으로 사고 할 수 있는 능력이 약화되고 있다. 그래서 학생들은 상품의 글로벌 네트워크 속에서 자신이 가지는 위치의 의미와 자신과 상품 네트워크 사이의 상호 관계성으로 인해 발생되는 환경 문제를 윤리적으로 인식하지 못하게 된다. 이러한 문제 의식과 현실 상황 속에서 본 연구는 햄버거 커넥션을 사례로 상품 소비와 윤리의 관계를 살펴보면서 학생들로 하여금 관계적 사고를 통해 상품과 학생 자신의 관계를 바라볼 수 있는 안목을 가질 수 있도록 하는 것이 지리 교육의 역할임을 주장하고자 한다.
