Mökkiläisten moninaistuvat teknologianäkemykset mökkikulttuurin muutoksen ilmentäjänä
The equipment level of second homes has developed over recent decades, which has also been reflected in the technologization of second home living. However, the views of second-home dwellers on the acquisition and use of technology have been relatively under-researched. Previous studies have mainly touched on the subject briefly or focused primarily on the quantity of technological equipment and remote work technology. Through interview data, we …

Co-developing sustainability – a consumer-inclusive approach to wooden housing business in Finland
The housing construction industry can address sustainability issues by developing its business practices. This requires a shift from a firm-driven business logic to a consumer-inclusive approach where consumers and businesses together enhance sustainable development. By analyzing data from focus group discussions with both industry experts in the wooden multi-storey construction business and consumers residing in novel wooden buildings, this stud…
Stepping Up—Leaning Back
This study investigated young adults’ financial agency-building. In youth, agency-building entails becoming aware of capabilities possessed and structural conditions. Despite the agentic viewpoint being well-established in youth research, agency in financial issues is understudied. We conducted semi-structured interviews for 18 independently living young adults from Finland aged between 21 and 26 years. The transcribed interviews were narratively…
Transforming Foodways
Food companies are central actors in driving sustainability transformations at the interface of production and consumption. Still, only limited attention has been directed to how sustainability-related meanings are being created within various food industry organizations. In this article, we explore the characteristics of the sustainability sensemaking and -giving processes among food companies and analyze how these processes influence sustainabi…
Transformation toward sustainability in Finnish teacher education policy
While the state of the world is becoming ever more unsustainable, transformation and transformative learning have become increasingly relevant and raised attention in various sustainability education discourses. This is obvious in both policy and research. As teacher educators, we have studied how this sustainability and transformative education trend is visible in education policy. We have first read international policy and research on sustaina…
Consumer tactics
Combining the performance theoretical tradition that acknowledges the co-construction of service encounters with the concept of consumer tactics, this study exposes the ways in which the scripted theaters of everyday service interaction turn into micropolitical playing fields in which consumers creatively make use of situational offerings. The dramatistic analysis of service narratives identifies a variety of consumer tactics that illustrate how …
Pathways to a forest-based bioeconomy in 2060 within policy targets on climate change mitigation and biodiversity protection
While climate change and biodiversity loss have exposed humanity to major systemic risks, policymakers in more than 40 countries have proposed the transition from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy as a solution to curb the risks. In the boreal region, forests have a prominent role in contributing to bioeconomy development; however, forest-based bioeconomy transition pathways towards sustainability and the required actions have not yet been id…
A consumer-driven bioeconomy in housing? Combining consumption style with students' perceptions of the use of wood in multi-storey buildings
Consumer acceptance of new bio-based products plays a key role in the envisioned transition towards a forest-based bioeconomy. Multi-storey wooden buildings (MSWB) exemplify a modern, bio-based business opportunity for enacting low-carbon urban housing. However, there is limited knowledge about the differing perceptions consumers hold regarding wood as an urban building material. To fill this gap, this study explores Finnish students’ perceptions…
Young and Recognized in Service Interaction? Re-positioning Youth and Adulthood with Performance Tactics and Strategic Laughter
Young consumers hold an iconic position in post-industrial cultures. In spite of youth idealization in consumer culture, we know little of how youth is situated in everyday interactions in service culture. In our study, we focus on age-related power structures in service encounters. We argue that customer service interaction is built on the norm of an adult order; that is, to achieve an appreciated position as a customer, young people are require…
Young consumer identity in a restrictive school environment — Addictive substances, symbolic goods and consumer skills
Young F innish and G erman consumers’ furniture acquisition – wooden, inherited or just low price?
Home decorating is an arena to build up identity and reflect individual taste. Home also represents people's lifestyles and culturally defined aesthetic values and norms. In our study, we focus on the procurement of furniture amongst young Finnish and German consumers who are in the life phase of building up their homes. We study more specifically which aspects of furniture are meaningful for them, and what kind of furniture they consider most va…
Finnish young people's narrative construction of consumer identity
This article examines how young Finns represent their consumer identity through narratives. Young consumers are easily seen as careless spenders and selfish hedonists in the contemporary consumer society. However, an empirical approach is required in order to find out whether this generation of young Finnish consumers is one of ‘raving hedonists’ or ‘ultimate materialists’, as their peers are often presented in public discussion in many western s…
To Consume or Not to Consume
This article looks at Finnish young people’s conceptions of green consumerism. We examine first the discussion of the greening of youth in contemporary society on the basis of earlier studies.Then we present the results of qualitative analysis of the different data concerning environmental consumerism. The data were collected at upper secondary schools in five different locations in Finland. The analysis of the essays and group discussions reveal…
