Mysticism Meets Life Styles: Elizabeth Gilbert

Abstract

The impacts of postmodernism have been observed on individuals as well as society and several fields of social construct. Besides influencing and transforming individuals, postmodernism is reflected in their identities. Postmodern individuals focus on experiential consumption rather than concrete one and enriching their daily lives with mystical experiences. They consider the New Age Trend as a leading tool. This study examines the postmodern consumer’s relations with mystic experiences. Elizabeth Gilbert, who is a main character in the movie: Eat, Pray, Love was chosen as a case study. This movie was examined using descriptive analysis on postmodernism, individualization, mysticism and New Age trend
