Abstract
This article explores Thompson and Haytko's (1997) interpretation of fashion discourses by bringing together two opposing perspectives on consumers' use of objects as signs. The first perspective assumes that the consumer has free reign in the play of signs (i.e., the consumer is constituting). The second assumes that the consumer is imprisoned by the signs and codes of the historical moment (i.e., the consumer is constituted). The dialectical and discursive tension between these two perspectives is used as an orienting framework in the hermeneutic analyses of 14 phenomenological interviews. Thompson and Haytko's (1997) findings/claims remain pertinent in a professional, middle-class context. In addition, this research contributes to their lived hegemony premise by emphasizing the dominating tendencies of marketing systems. Copyright 2002 by the University of Chicago.

Incidentally, I share your viewpoints, SafeTex
Technically, we are constituted of water, minerals etc !!!
Yet some abstracts do use "constitute" and "constituted".
If I had not read such abstracts, I would have used a verb such as "configure" cos "the consumer is configured" by signs kind of means he is conditioned or limited by them which seems to be the sense of the passage.
