Synthetic Participation
As part of the Danish Climate Act of 2019, the government established a Climate Citizens’ Assembly to secure public participation in the formulation of climate policy. Due to COVID-19, the Assembly was moved online to the virtual meeting platform Zoom. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this article examines what happens when such participatory processes are conducted digitally, asking how the digital mediation of the Assembly shaped both facilitat…

Nearshore Wind Resistance on Denmark’s Renewable Energy Island
The Danish island Samsø is world-famous as Denmark’s Renewable Energy Island. 21 wind turbines supply the island’s electricity. Today, public hostility toward a projected nearshore wind farm off the island’s preserved northern coast is growing. This paper takes its main theoretical cue from Gomart and Hajer’s (2003) call to open up political questions to empirical inquiry and to pay attention to the material settings in which political questions …
Storifying Samsø’s Renewable Energy Transition
Through a joint community effort Denmark’s Renewable Energy Island Samsø became self-sufficient with renewable energy over a period of 10 years from 1997 to 2007. Today, the story about Samsø’s successful energy transition has become a global export and a widely known model of community building, public participation and shared ownership in renewable energy technologies and transition processes. What has allowed the Samsø narrative to travel so w…
Authoring Participation
Samsø, Denmark's Renewable Energy Island since 1997, is world renowned for being self-sufficient in renewable energy and for having achieved energy self-sufficiency and CO2 neutrality through successful processes of public participation. In this article I seek to show how these processes of public participation so central to the Renewable Energy Island project can be better understood as instances of material participation motivated first and for…
Management through hope
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the process of social and technical change that took place between 1997 and 2007 through which Samsø, a rural island of 4,000 inhabitants, became Denmark’s Renewable Energy Island (REI). Design/methodology/approach – Building on ethnographic fieldwork conducted on Samsø in 2013 and 2014, the paper takes as its starting point a citizens’ meeting in which a new renewable energy project is proposed b…
Changing Individual Behaviors or Creating Green Societies? Advancing from a Behaviorist to a Social Practice Theory Approach
This article engages in the discussion that was initially framed by Elizabeth Shove (2010) about the relevance of social practice theory compared to behaviorist theory regarding the question of how citizens may be engaged in more sustainable everyday behaviors or practices. We put both theories to work by analyzing our empirical data from the point of view of each theoretical perspective. Through a discussion of these opposing analyses, the paper…
