From legal compliance to knowledge brokerage
Purpose This paper investigates how farm advisers can develop their practices beyond facilitating farmers’ legal compliance to mediate between farmers’ and regulatory officials’ knowledge and experience of implementing farm-level legal regulation.Design/methodology/approach Building on theories of knowledge types and Communities of Practice (CoP), the paper employs a qualitative research design to examine a project aimed at reducing the regulator…
Locally grown consumers
The paper investigates how alternative food network (AFN) consumers are formed as market actors through socio-material processes of agencing. Drawing on ethnographic studies of REKO markets in Sweden—a digitally mediated model of direct-to-consumer local food exchange—the study challenges essentialist understandings of consumers as fixed entities with stable preferences. Instead, it conceptualises consumers as emergent actors, socio-materially ma…
Alternativizing markets
How are moral markets organized? While previous research has shown that moral markets combine conventional and alternative elements, it has failed to explain how these hybridizations can ensure the organization of moral markets. To this end, we take an economic-sociological approach using ethnographic materials from a study of Swedish Reko-rings, a direct-to-customer market for local foods, to analyse how actors address the key coordination probl…

Relational work in an alternative food network
This article studies the role of shared meaning for organising Alternative Food Networks (AFNs). Extant research shows that organisational elements, such as rules, and hybridisation of conventional and alternative modes of food provisioning are important for AFN organisation. Yet, they might both enable and hinder the aims of AFNs. Complementing this body of research, the article investigates how AFN participants work out the appropriate kind of …
How individuals make sense of their climate impacts in the capitalocene
Many people want to play their part to tackle climate change, but often do not know where to start. Carbon Footprint (CF) Calculators pose potential for helping individuals situate themselves in climate impacting systems of which they are a part. However, little is currently known about whether and how individuals who complete CF calculators understand their CF in the context of climate change. This article explores how people make sense of their…

Towards a unified theory of market prices
This article proceeds from the question: how do prices in markets work? In socio-economic theories, I find two answers to this question. The structural-coordinative approach explains prices as outcomes-coordinative effects of pricing scripts installed by exogenous, institutionalized social structures. The performative-epistemological approach explains prices as market devices-endogenous performative-epistemological tools of marketization. While n…
Social lens or inherently social phenomenon? The study of food in Swedish sociology
Sociology's tendency to branch into applied scientific disciplines is regularly debated. This debate focuses either on the organisation of sociology in academic institutions or on how the content of sociologically informed interdisciplinary research diverges from disciplinary sociology. This article bridges these debates in a study of the sociology of food in Sweden. The aim is to analyse how Swedish food sociology reflects the tension between di…
The art of being governed
The licensed serving of alcoholic beverages is an important institutional aspect of food culture. In Sweden, the Government’s policies to battle the Covid-19 pandemic meant further restrictions, including a temporary law, to mitigate contagion at licensed restaurants, bars, producers’ tasting events, etc. This paper inquiries into the “art” exercised by managers of such businesses, already used to strict governance, of “being governed” when faced…
Why Economic Management Models Do Not Foster Morals
Taking the Floor: Models, Morals, and Management in a Wall Street Trading Room By Beunza, Daniel ( Princeton University Press, 2019) When Daniel Beunza entered the equity derivatives trading floor of International Securities, an international bank on Wall Street, in the late 1990s, he surprisingly realized that the bustling and screaming of 1980s Wall Street traders had gone quiet. The financial market's digitalized, quantitative tools fostered t…
