Abstract :

There are two concepts at different fields of study, which seem interconnected mutually, 'hyperconsumption' and the design concept of 'one-stop-shopping'. Hyperconsumption is a tendency to encourage individuals consuming for their own personal pleasure, which goes beyond object's  utility, and tends to focus at meanings of personal and social.  While the concept of "one-stop-shopping" is a design strategy for consumption sites, especially “cathedrals of consumption” — a term used by George Ritzer  to picture  the contemporary designed physical environments such as shopping malls, amusements, megaresorts, etc. This essay describes the concept of  "one-stop-shopping"  as a formulation of implosion's mechanism at the cathedrals of consumption  for leading people to the direction of hyperconsumption. By using libidinal philosophy of Jean-François Lyotard, this essay reveals how intensities of economic libidinal — what push people towards hyperconsumption — are circulated in two directions, ‘system’ and ’structure’.  And by "the concept of three steps" of Peter Berger, this essay also describes  what really  happened  at  individual, when the intensities of economic libidinal  flow into the individual's consciousness structure, and at the same time, elaborates how the social interaction is involved in this process
