Consumption and Theories of Practice

“The practice-theoretical approach emphasises the mundane, routinised, and embodied aspects of consumption, attending to the relationships between material acquisition, management, and its disposition (Warde, 2005).”

“A practice ‐ based approach encourages researchers to consider the various social practices related to changing patterns of taste and provides a means for analyzing and understanding the complex challenges they present (Warde 2008).”

“Emotional reflexivity understood as a dispersed practices helps understand how it interacts in the enactment of busy middle‐class women's everyday lives, and particularly how LTPA and emotional reflexivity co‐evolve (Warde 2005).”

“Shove et al. (2013), Southerton (2020) and Warde (2005) make a crucial point regarding the indivisibility of consumption from social practices and their temporalities, which we argue is significant for unpacking the temporalities of practices where anti-consump-tion disperses.”

“As in many practice-oriented studies, consumption is understood here as a consequence of engagement with practices (Warde, 2005).”

“Second-generation practice theories define consumption as happening while everyday practices are performed (Warde 2005).”

“…z najbardziej skutecznych „eksportów” z dziedziny teorii socjologicznej do subdyscyplin oraz sąsiednich dyscyplin, czego przykładem mogą być studia nad konsumpcją (Hal - kier et al. 2011; Warde 2005) transportem i mobilnością (Kent 2022) czy studia nad rodziną (Morgan 2020; Sikorska 2018, 2019).”

“Specifically, this paper employs a prac - tice theoretic lens (e.g., Hui et al., 2016 ; Reckwitz, 2002; Schatzki, 2002 ; Shove et al., 2012 ; Warde, 2005 ) to explain the components that influence consumers to update their practices, adopt new ones, or abandon existing ones.”

“I concur with the idea that ‘persons confront moments of consumption neither as sovereign choosers nor as dupes’ (Warde, 2005: 146).”

“These observations are echoed by Strenger’s call for increased attention to social practice in energy management [11] and Warde’s [12] broader proposition that “the source of changed behavior lies in the development of practices.””

“Furthermore, it is the execution of practices that generates consumption activities and consumption moments (Warde, 2005).”

“L’approche de la consommation énergétique par la théorie des pratiques (Warde, 2005) semble particulièrement prometteuse, dans la mesure où elle permet de passer d’une « analyse de ‟l’avoir” à celle du ‟faire” » (Dubuisson-Quellier et Plessz, 2013).”

“Besides this, behaviour in connection with consumption has increasingly been examined from a practice-theoretical perspective in recent decades (Bourdieu, 2011; Giddens, 1997; Warde, 2005, 2014).”

“In this sense, we regard that there are various carriers who are at an intersection of different practices (Warde, 2005) and who co-construct these practices by performing them (Evans et al., 2012).”

“…and how they are shaped by second screen app’s affordances and social media platforms, we have used a social practice approach from the second wave of practice theorists (Postill, 2011) as our theoretical-analytical tool (Reckwitz, 2002; Warde, 2005; Shove, Pantzar & Watson, 2013; Schatzki, 20154).”

“Warde (2005) contends that practices are time-sensitive and might change over time, whereby joint meanings are challenged and become out-of-date.”

““The key focal points become the organization of the practice and the moments of consumption enjoined” (Warde, 2005).”

“In particular, studies of consumer practices [4, 20, 21] have shown that the focus on single practices is too narrow, since the complexity originates from the fact that everyday practices are entangled.”

“2016; Røpke 2009; Warde 2005).”

“Changes to the timing of energy demand could only be triggered by non-discretionary factors, such as practices, levels of occupancy, location, number of occupants, type of tenancy and dwelling type (Shove 2004; Warde 2005).”

“Over recent decades, the sociology of consumption has primarily emphasized mundane and inconspicuous drivers of escalating consumption volumes, particularly through scholar-ship informed by social practice theory (Shove et al., 2012; Warde, 2005 & 2014; Rinkinen et al., 2021).”

“…as a separate domain or a matter of isolated choices, practice theory as deployed within consumer studies locates it as a “moment within practices” (eating, dressing, traveling) whose trajectories depend on socio‑material infrastructures, routinized skills, and situated meanings (Warde, 2005).”

“Rather, everyday routines, practical circumstances and contexts as well as socially shared procedures, understandings and conventions are central in the shaping of consumption practices (Reckwitz 2002; Warde 2005).”

“Finally, while the PUxCEB Model provides a structured overview of product users’ experience with CE behaviors, it ultimately constitutes a simplification, particularly from the perspectives of practice theory and socio-materiality (e.g., [108–110]).”

“In this framework, consumption is not regarded as a practice but as a moment within practices, where consumption desires are generated through practices rather than originating from individual preferences (Warde, 2005).”

“Various goods and services form part of social practices that combine activities, things, understandings, know-how, emotions and motivations (Warde 2005).”

“…of practice (Schatzki, 2002; Shove et al., 2012) shifts attention away from individual-level decisions and actions, and from outcomes imposed by structures and institutions, enabling a focus on practices as socio-cultural entities, highlighting habituation, inertia, and routine (Warde, 2005).”

“After all, people in different situations do the same activity differently (Warde, 2005) and, by focusing on liveaboard experiences, it encourages attention to the always present power relations operating within and through social practices.”

“…scholarship on sustainable consumption – particularly within sociology and applied environmental sciences – has been shaped primarily by practice-theoretical perspectives (Evans 2019; Reckwitz 2002; Schatzki 1996; Shove 2010; Spurling et al. 2013; Warde 2005; Welch, Halkier, and Keller 2020).”

“…of da pei as food provision, which are ‘internally differentiated such that persons in different situations do the same activity differently’ (Warde, 2005, p. 146), in order to make sense of how mothers in present-day China experience and negotiate different power dynamics and material…”

“As used in the framework; (i) Ability means, where occupants have to be educated with novel packages to provide them with the required knowledge to perform expected action, as strongly argued by [91, 136]; and [111] that humans are born with a mind that is like a blank slate ‘tabula ra ta’.”

“…is overcoming/ sidestepping the traditional dichotomies of individualistic/holistic, subjectivist/structur-alist, and cultural/material accounts, as well as that of stability/change (Fonte 2013; Reckwitz 2016; T. Schatzki 2018; T. R. Schatzki 2002; Shove, Pantzar, and Watson 2012; Warde 2005).”

“Then, we offer an overview of practice theory (Reckwitz 2002a, b; Warde, 2005, 2014; Spurling et al. 2013; Christensen and Friis 2019; Spotswood et al. 2015) and a social change conceptualisation to identify new insights on luxury brand–artist collaborations and their social impact.”

“16 we agree with warde 24 that traditional approaches to health promotion operate Peer reView with an often-unacknowledged assumption that human beings are fully rational and regularly take conscious decisions about food and eating, minimizing the roles played by habit, tradition, and community.…”

“There is a growing body of literature on mobility studies framed by practice theories, including, for example, Warde (2005), Shove et al. (2012), Watson (2012), Bartiaux (2013), Kennedy et al. (2013), Bartiaux & Reátegui Salmón (2014), Shove et al. (2015), Spotswood et al. (2015), Cass &…”

“As Reckwitz (2002) and Warde (2005) outline, practices are regularly performed physical and mental activities; they are thus ‘ practiced ’ .”

“Practice theories are particularly suitable for studying everyday activities (Halkier and Jensen, 2011; Wahlen, 2011; Warde, 2005).”

“Along their life paths, people constantly adopt and abandon practices (Shove et al., 2012; Warde, 2005), but participation in practices always leaves marks on their carriers that can be relevant for structuring access to the uptake of new practices (Shove et al., 2012).”

“The theory of practice acknowledges the individual as a physical and mental agent (Schatzki, 1996; Reckwitz, 2002), and that practitioners are the ones who carry out the practice (Warde, 2005).”

“, adults/children, women/men, active/unemployed) should be investigated (Warde, 2017).”

“In his account of the relevance of practice theory as an analytical framework for consumer studies, Warde (2005, 2014, 2016, 2017) argues consumption studies’ preoccupation with symbolic communication and expressivist accounts of consumption gives a very partial understanding of consumption.”

“Self-congruity is related to psychological experiences which can be assumed that positive identity and self-congruity will increase emotional experiences obtained in a product and provide value according to their needs (Warde, 2005).”

“Moreover, given the prevalence of constructivist theories in many social science fields relevant to consumption, it is disingenuous to presume that the consumption of a particular product is narrowly limited by its inherent characteristics (Ang 2006; Hall 1980; Ritzer 2014; Warde 2005).”

“A practice is an embodied and materially enabled human activity that includes culturally shared practical understandings (Schatzki et al., 2001), and it is associated with certain things, procedures and understandings (Warde, 2005).”

“En estos vínculos, las condiciones dinámicas y estratificadas de posibilidad micro, macro, sociales, económicas, materiales o no-materiales hacen la práctica y la práctica se alimenta de las condiciones de posibilidad13 (Warde, 2005).”

“Value is created in use and can only be realised by the consumer as part of consumption (Hirst and Tressider, 2016; Warde, 2005).”
