How much storage do we need in a fully electrified future? A critical review of the assumptions on which this question depends
‘How much storage do we need in a fully electrified future?’ On the face of it, this is a perfectly sensible technical question that needs to be answered if energy systems are to be decarbonised and if climate change goals are to be met. In this deliberately provocative paper, we argue that this question is itself part of the problem. In working towards this conclusion, we argue that assumptions surrounding i) spatial and temporal scale; ii) the …
Categorising and cohabiting: Practices as the site of biosocial becoming
In this article we argue that social practices, which consist of sayings and doings that extend across space and time, generate and sustain distinctive patterns of microbial interaction. In taking this approach, we position practice theory within and not outside the realm of contemporary biological processes, including processes that matter for human health. In working towards this conclusion, we show how categories and distinctions (e.g. between…
Organisational Flexibility: Core Business, Interdependence and the Timing of Energy Demand
Discussions of flexibility in organisations generally focus on labour relations, corporate agility, and long-term survival. In much of this writing, flexibility is conceptualised as a feature of organisations and their environments, of organisational strategy and form, and an outcome of characteristics that can be defined and measured. By contrast, we argue that capacities to adapt depend on interpretations of ‘core business’ which is defined by …
How Infrastructures and Practices Shape Each Other: Aggregation, Integration and the Introduction of Gas Central Heating
We know that networked infrastructures enable forms of mobility, energy use, and flows of data, and we know that modern life depends on these arrangements. We also know that relations between infrastructures and social practices are recursive, extensive, and multiple. But what of the detail? How do infrastructures shape the many practices to which they relate, and vice versa? The research we describe was designed to address these questions head o…
Conceptualising urban density, energy demand and social practice
In urban studies and in energy policy there is much debate about the relationship between energy demand and the density of residential areas, measured in units such as those of population/ha or population/km 2 . A different approach is presented in this paper. Rather than evaluating the relative merits of compact or sprawling urban forms, the focus is on the spatial configuration of the infrastructures, appliances and systems of provision on whic…
Obese societies: Reconceptualising the challenge for public health
The prevalence of obesity and related health problems has increased sharply in recent decades. Dominant medical, economic, psychological, and especially epidemiological accounts conceptualise these trends as outcomes of individuals' lifestyles - whether freely chosen or determined by an array of obesogenic factors. As such, they rest on forms of methodological individualism, causal narratives, and a logic of substitution in which people are encou…
Everyday Practice and the Production and Consumption of Time
The mutually constitutive relation between time and practice is even more evident with respect to the doing of things that require or that are better done in the company of others. The proposition that much consumption, not only of time but also of money and other material and natural resources, is occasioned by people’s involvement in relationships, activities and taken-for-granted routines makes a lot of sense. The significance of each form and…
Conceptualising Demand: A Distinctive Approach to Consumption and Practice
This book addresses fundamental questions about the very idea of demand: how is it constituted, how does it change and how might it be steered
Time, Consumption and Everyday Life: Practice, Materiality and Culture
Has material civilization spun out of control, becoming too fast for our own well-being and that of the planet? This book confronts these anxieties and examines the changing rhythms and temporal organization of everyday life. How do people handle hurriedness, burn-out and stress? Are slower forms of consumption viable? This volume brings together international experts from geography, sociology, history, anthropology and philosophy. In case studie…
Conceptualising flexibility: Challenging representations of time and society in the energy sector
There is broad agreement that the need to decarbonise and make better use of renewable and more intermittent sources of power will require increased flexibility in energy systems. However, organisations involved in the energy sector work with very different interpretations of what this might involve. In describing how the notion of flexibility is reified, commodified, and operationalised in sometimes disparate and sometimes connected ways, we sho…
What is wrong with energy efficiency?
At first sight the purpose of energy efficiency is plain: it is to reduce the amount of energy used and the carbon emissions associated with the design and operation of things like buildings, domestic appliances, and heating and cooling technologies, or with the organization of bureaucratic, business or industrial processes. National and international responses to climate change are dominated by policies that promote energy efficiency and by peop…
Infrastructures in Practice: The Dynamics of Demand in Networked Societies
Contentious interfaces
Catherine Grandclément (0000-0003-0287-4425), Magali Pierre (0000-0002-7760-545X), Elizabeth Shove (0000-0002-4792-5479) and Alain Nadaï (0000-0003-0383-2729) This chapter examines interfaces between the collective provision and individual consumption of energy. Two case studies – one about the plugging-in of electric vehicles, the other concentrating on the design of smart meters, show how the realms of provision and consumption; of the collecti…
Cold chains in Hanoi and Bangkok: Changing systems of provision and practice
We know that patterns of domestic consumption are situated within broader systems of provision and that home appliances like the fridge freezer bridge between practices of cooking, shopping and eating, on one hand, and increasingly global systems of food production, distribution and diet on the other. In analysing the uses of fridge freezers in Hanoi and Bangkok as expressions, in microcosm, of complex and evolving processes of urbanisation and f…

Governance traps in climate change politics: Re‐framing the debate in terms of responsibilities and rights
There is a strong sense of malaise surrounding climate politics today. This has been created at least in part by factors such as the chasm between the scale of action required and the adequacy of current political commitments, stalemate in global negotiations, the low price of carbon, and a growing sense of indifference among the publics of some developed countries about the threat posed by climate change. Within the policy community these issues…
Conceptualizing connections: Energy demand, infrastructures and social practices
Problems of climate change present new challenges for social theory. In this article we focus on the task of understanding and analyzing car dependence, using this as a case through which to introduce and explore what we take to be central but underdeveloped questions about how infrastructures and complexes of social practice connect across space and time. In taking this approach we work with the proposition that forms of energy consumption, incl…
Object Relations in Accounts of Everyday Life
Theories of social practice routinely acknowledge the significance of the material world, arguing that objects have a constitutive role in shaping and reproducing the practices of which daily life is made. Objects are also important for those who approach 'everyday life' as an ontology, a tradition in which scholarly interest in the material reaches beyond the somewhat pragmatic concerns of practice theory. In this article we identify traces of b…
The Sociology of Energy, Buildings and the Environment: Constructing Knowledge, Designing Practice
Bringing the social sciences to the heart of environmental debate, this book demonstrates the relevance of sociological analysis for environmentally critical issues like energy consumption. Focusing on energy efficiency and the built environment, the authors take a critical look at the production and use of technical knowledge and energy-related expertise. Challenging the conventional assumptions of scientists and energy policy-makers, the book o…
Theories of practice and public health: Understanding (un)healthy practices
Psychological understandings and individualistic theories of human behaviour and behaviour change have dominated both academic research and interventions at the ‘coalface’ of public health. Meanwhile, efforts to understand persistent inequalities in health point to structural factors, but fail to show exactly how these translate into the daily lives (and hence health) of different sectors of the population. In this paper, we suggest that social t…
How does air conditioning become ‘needed’? A case study of routes, rationales and dynamics
Material culture, room temperature and the social organisation of thermal energy
This article builds on the suggestion that objects should be thought of not as bounded entities but as sites of flow, mixture and mutation. In arguing that processes of thermal exchange are outcomes and expressions of socio-material organization, the authors demonstrate the potential for linking concepts from physics and social science. Drawing on a recent study of air conditioning in the UK, they show that increasingly standardised notions of ro…
What Is Energy For? Social Practice and Energy Demand
Energy has an ambivalent status in social theory, variously figuring as a driver or an outcome of social and institutional change, or as something that is woven into the fabric of society itself. In this article the authors consider the underlying models on which different approaches depend. One common strategy is to view energy as a resource base, the management and organization of which depends on various intersecting systems: political, econom…

Beyond the ABC: Climate Change Policy and Theories of Social Change
In this short and deliberately provocative paper I reflect on what seems to be a yawning gulf between the potential contribution of the social sciences and the typically restricted models and concepts of social change embedded in contemporary environmental policy in the UK, and in other countries too. As well as making a strong case for going beyond what I refer to as the dominant paradigm of 'ABC'-attitude, behaviour, and choice-I discuss the at…
Consumers, Producers and Practices: Understanding the invention and reinvention of Nordic walking
The idea that artifacts are acquired and used in the course of accomplishing social practices has important implications for theories of consumption and innovation. From this point of view, it is not enough to show that goods are symbolically and materially positioned, mediated and filtered through existing cultures and conventions. Twisting the problem around, the further challenge is to explain how practices change and with what consequence for…
Caution! Transitions Ahead: Politics, Practice, and Sustainable Transition Management
The critique of the inanities and injustices of present society, however obvious they may be, is disqualified by a simple reminder that remaking society by design may only make it worse than it was.Alternative ends are invalidated on the strength of the proved ineffectuality of means" (Bauman 1991; 269) Green ( 2006) is not alone in contending that "environmental 'crises' require fundamental changes in the socio-technological structure of the way…
Social Exclusion, Mobility and Access
Much of the literature on social exclusion ignores its 'spatial' or 'mobility' related aspects. This paper seeks to rectify this by examining the mobile processes and infrastructures of travel and transport that engender and reinforce social exclusion in contemporary societies. To the extent to which this issue is addressed, it is mainly organized around the notion of 'access' to activities, values and goods. This paper examines this discourse in…
Social Theory and Climate Change
Social theorists have been dealing with issues of environment and climate change for quite some years, but on which topics have they focused and with whom have they been talking? Many of the articles included in this special issue exemplify a tendency to frame problems of climate change in terms of existing concerns, including the character of capitalism, the relation between nature and culture, or the social process of problem definition. Other …
Explaining Showering: A Discussion of the Material, Conventional, and Temporal Dimensions of Practice
This article considers the increasing popularity of showering in the UK. We use this case as a means of exploring some of the dimensions and dynamics of everyday practice. Drawing upon a range of documentary evidence, we begin by sketching three possible explanations for the current constitution of showering as a private, increasingly resource-intensive routine. We begin by reviewing the changing infrastructural, technological, rhetorical and mor…
Condensing Practices: Ways of living with a freezer
In the UK, the majority of households have a freezer and by most criteria it would be fair to say that home freezing and frozen food provisioning reached sociotechnical ‘closure’ some 20 years ago or more. Detailed examination of how people actually live with freezers suggests, by contrast, that associated consumption practices and processes are varied, unstable and subject to change. Interviews with representatives of 40 households provide new i…
Product, Competence, Project and Practice: DIY and the dynamics of craft consumption
Studies of ordinary (as distinct from spectacular) forms of consumption have generated new questions and new ways of thinking about mechanisms and processes of change and about the conceptual status of consumer goods. No longer exclusively framed as semiotic resources deployed in the expression and reproduction of identities and social relations, products are increasingly viewed as essential ingredients in the effective accomplishment of everyday…
Home Extensions in the United Kingdom: Space, Time, and Practice
This paper begins with two observations: that UK homes appear to have accumulated increasing numbers of domestic technologies, yet new houses are smaller, on average, than those built before 1980. The spatial pressures placed on homes that result from the accumulation of technologies are explored by drawing upon forty household interviews which enquired into the domestic organisation of kitchen and bathroom technologies and practices. Many househ…
Defrosting the Freezer: From Novelty to Convenience
This article examines the 'normalization' of the British freezer. It defines three phases in this process: an initial period oriented around the utility of preserving home produce; a second stage marked by the development of a frozen food infrastructure and the establishment of the freezer as a part of the efficient domestic economy; and a third subtle but significant redefinition of the primary benefits of freezing in terms of convenience. Cast …
Putting practice into policy: Reconfiguring questions of consumption and climate change
Understanding how societies change is core business for the social sciences and there is no shortage of theories about how transitions come about. Despite this reservoir of ideas, efforts to promote more sustainable patterns of consumer behaviour draw upon a remarkably narrow range of conceptual resources. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the potential and the relevance of paradigms that lie outside the dominant discourses and tradition…

Orchestrating Concepts: Kitchen Dynamics and Regime Change in Good Housekeeping and Ideal Home , 1922–2002
It has long been recognized that users and consumers actively appropriate new products and technologies and assimilate them into existing regimes and frames of reference. Much less has been written about how these frames evolve or about how processes of integration and appropriation are sustained and transformed. In this article we analyze “the kitchen” not as a place but as an “orchestrating concept.” We subject “orchestrating concept.” We subje…

Recruitment and Reproduction: The Careers and Carriers of Digital Photography and Floorball The claim that social practices have a relatively durable existence in space and time, and that their persistence depends upon their recurrent reproduction through necessarily localised performances is theoretically plausible, but what of the detail? How do the careers of practices and those who "carry" them actually intersect? In this paper we have two re…
Introducing interactive social science
The papers in this special issue examine the content and practice of interactive social science and its developing institutional context. Although the contemporary environment of academic research and funding is relevant, the papers engage with themes which have preoccupied social scientists for many years: what is distinctive about social scientific knowledge, how is it produced and used, how might it be evaluated, and how does it relate to othe…
Users, Technologies and Expectations of Comfort, Cleanliness and Convenience
It is often supposed that greater user involvement will result in more sustainable, more socially inclusive designs and technologies. I take issue with this proposition on the grounds that it fails to acknowledge the prior structuring of users' expectations or the socio-technical regimes and landscapes in which specific innovations take root. In developing this position I suggest that the re-specification of normal practice is of greater environm…

Disruption and change: Drought and the Inconspicuous Dynamics of Garden Lives
It is now widely agreed that there is more to sustainable consumption than persuading individuals to make green their brand of choice. Instead, the focus is on how to understand the processes of change, particularly in relation to the transformation of inconspicuous habits. A dominant approach within sustainable consumption research suggests that changing embedded habits and practices requires making them visible and subject to overt decision-mak…

Postscript to special issue on interactive social science
This postscript is a reflection on the wider implications of this discussion of interactive social science. What lessons have been learned about new knowledge, legitimacy, theory, relevance, power and evaluation? What new questions have arisen? Re-invigorated by debate about interactive research, this argues that these should be reinstated as topics of popular discussion across the full range of social science.

The Social Worlds of Caravaning: Objects, Scripts and Practices
This paper is about the part which objects play in scripting the practices and strategies of their users. Goffman uses the concept of script to make sense of the conventional ordering of social interaction and the definition and maintenance of social worlds. As adopted by Latour (1992), Akrich (1992)and others, the term describes the ways in which devices and non-human actors configure their users. Drawing upon a study of caravaning and caravaner…

Efficiency and Consumption: Technology and Practice
It is probably true that energy policy has paid more attention to resources and resource efficiencies than to overall consumption. Partly because of this, more needs to be done to conceptualise the dynamics of consumer demand. In this article I take stock of what sociological theories of consumption, technology and practice might contribute to energy and environmental policy. Recent research on a) the future of comfort and b) sustainable domestic…

Debating the future of comfort: Environmental sustainability, energy consumption and the indoor environment
Vast quantities of energy are consumed in heating and cooling to provide what are now regarded as acceptable standards of thermal comfort. In the UK as in a number of other countries, there is a real danger that responses in anticipation of global warming and climate change – including growing reliance on air-conditioning – will increase energy demand and CO2 emissions even further. This is an appropriate moment to reflect on the history and futu…

The Design of Everyday Life
How do common household items such as basic plastic house wares or high-tech digital cameras transform our daily lives? The Design of Everyday Life considers this question in detail, from the design of products through to their use in the home. Drawing on interviews with consumers themselves, the authors look at how everyday objects, ranging from screwdrivers to photo management software, are used on a practical level. Closely investigating the d…

Artefacts between disciplines. Response to responses
As is often the way, a ‘finished’ article disguises aspects of its own production and gives an overly orderly account of theoretical and methodological moves which were not especially planned. In responding to our commentators and in coming clean about our own working methods we have some confessions to make. In making these admissions we continue what has by now become a conversation about matters of interdisciplinarity and about our approach to…
