Abstract

Abstract The way in which time is produced and consumed during everyday life has crucial implications for sustainable consumption. Social practice approaches in particular have directed attention to the intersection of personal and collective temporalities as important for the patterning of everyday consumption. This article examines the temporal dynamics of daily practice-arrangement bundles experienced in “locked down” households in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, and the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on 97 in-depth interviews with participants in all five countries, we investigate quotidian experiences of the breaking and (re-)making of daily routines in response to the pandemic. In doing so, we explore and document the temporal processes by which daily practice-arrangement bundles become undone, reassembled, and reconfigured. Our analysis reveals the institutional ordering of temporal relations between practices in terms of how they hang together, synchronize, or compete for householders’ time. Giving particular attention to socially differentiated lockdown experiences, we analyze how disruption-induced changes to social institutions and systems of provision impact the hanging together of daily practice-arrangement bundles and the strategies employed to restructure and rebundle them in unequal ways. We further consider varied experiences in temporal reorganizations of daily life that support sustainable consumption of food and mobility and reflect on the implications of the analysis for sustainability governance.
混乱时期日常生活的消费和时间性变化:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间取消和重组家庭习俗
在日常生活中,时间的产生和消耗方式对可持续消费有着至关重要的影响。社会实践的方法尤其关注个人和集体的时间性的交叉点,因为这对日常消费的模式很重要。本文研究了在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,德国、爱尔兰、意大利、挪威和英国“封锁”家庭中日常实践安排捆绑的时间动态。通过对所有五个国家的参与者进行97次深入访谈,我们调查了为应对大流行而打破和(重新)制定日常生活习惯的日常经历。在此过程中,我们探索并记录了日常实践安排包被撤消、重新组装和重新配置的时间过程。我们的分析揭示了实践之间的时间关系的制度顺序,即它们如何在一起、同步或竞争住户的时间。特别关注社会差异化的封锁经验,我们分析了中断引起的社会制度和供应系统的变化如何影响日常实践安排捆绑在一起,以及以不平等的方式重组和重新捆绑它们所采用的策略。我们进一步考虑了日常生活中支持可持续食物消费和流动性的时间重组的各种经验,并反思了分析对可持续治理的影响。

期刊介绍: Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy is a refereed, open-access journal which recognizes that climate change and other socio-environmental challenges require significant transformation of existing systems of consumption and production. Complex and diverse arrays of societal factors and institutions will in coming decades need to reconfigure agro-food systems, implement renewable energy sources, and reinvent housing, modes of mobility, and lifestyles for the current century and beyond. These innovations will need to be formulated in ways that enhance global equity, reduce unequal access to resources, and enable all people on the planet to lead flourishing lives within biophysical constraints. The journal seeks to advance scientific and political perspectives and to cultivate transdisciplinary discussions involving researchers, policy makers, civic entrepreneurs, and others. The ultimate objective is to encourage the design and deployment of both local experiments and system innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future by empowering individuals and organizations and facilitating processes of social learning.
