Healthy eating in the platform age: Online food delivery and middle-class modernity in Surabaya
Online food delivery platforms (OFPs) are reshaping food consumption across Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at the forefront due in part to its rapidly expanding digital economy. Longstanding public health campaigns such as 4 Sehat 5 Sempurna (4 Healthy 5 Perfect) have historically shaped national understandings of nutrition in Indonesia. At the same time, a growing urban middle-class is increasingly adopting globalised lifestyle-oriented concerns…
What’s (not) on the digital food menu: From ‘visual feasts’ to a sustainable future food imaginary on Instagram
More than just ‘working from home’: Domestic space, economies and living infrastructures during and beyond pandemic times
This article draws on an ethnographic study of employees working from home in 13 Australian households in Sydney, New South Wales and Melbourne, Victoria during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Conducting interviews and household walk throughs via video conferencing software, supplemented by diaries and pictures from householders, we were initially interested in how people managed working from home via digital technology. As the project evolved how…
Low levels of outdoor recreation alter wildlife behaviour
Public interest in nature‐based recreation is growing, including visitation to protected areas. However, the level of recreation in these areas that causes detectable changes in wildlife behaviour remains unknown, and many studies that investigate wildlife responses to humans do so in high‐visitation areas. We used camera traps to investigate the spatial and temporal responses of brown bears ( Ursus arctos ), black bears ( Ursus americanus ), moo…
Embracing Liminality and "Staying with the Trouble" on (and off) Screen
Setting the Mood Weirdly, everything feels the same. There’s absolutely no distinction for me between news, work, walking, gaming, Netflix, rock collecting, scrolling, messaging. I don’t know how this happened, but everything has simply blurred together. There’s a dreadful and yet soothing sameness to it, scrolling through images on Instagram, scrolling Netflix, walking the dog, scrolling the news, time scrolling by as I watch face after face app…
Pop-up food provisioning as a sustainable third space: Reshaping eating practices at an inner urban university
We examine one innovative response to the social, spatial and environmental sustainability challenges posed by food provisioning and consumption for large-scale organisations—pop-up or mobile food provisioning—focusing on the specific example of a large, inner urban university campus in Melbourne, Australia. Emerging from a larger project examining sustainability and eating practices on campus, this study of pop-ups draws on a multi-method empiri…
Spatio-temporalities of convenience eating for sustainability outcomes at an inner-urban university
This article addresses questions about sustainability outcomes and the convenience-oriented eating practices that tend to dominate some urban universities and that are largely associated with intensive resource and energy consumption. Instead of considering food consumption on campus as a product of individual behaviours and choices (commonly the normative frame for provisioning of eating sociospatial infrastructures), we use social practice theo…
Gleaning around the globe: Reframing urban thrift via practices and economies of hard rubbish reuse
This article examines the practice of gleaning or waste picking, that is, retrieving, reusing and exchanging disposed consumer goods collected from kerbsides and rubbish sites. While the literature has tended to be divided along geographic lines with waste picking either associated with poor communities in the Global South or understood as anti-consumerism activism in the North, this article reframes gleaning as a set of shared global practices c…
Overcoming remoteness: The necessity of air travel in Australian universities
Air travel has become central to Australian academic practice, with flying increasingly seen as crucial to the progression of successful academic careers. This paper seeks to understand why academic air travel has come to be perceived as so necessary, particularly given its significant environmental, social, and economic implications. Drawing on the mobilities paradigm and social practice theory, we seek to understand how air travel practices are…

Lifestyle Media in Asia: Consumption, Aspiration and Identity
Lifestyle media in Asia
This chapter presents a four-year collaborative research project on lifestyle media in Asia undertaken by Fran Martin, Tania Lewis, Wanning Sun, John Sinclair and Ramaswami Harindranath, and funded by the Australian Research Council. The starting point for that project was our observation of the ubiquitous presence, across Asia, of popular media instructing audiences on aspects of 'living the good life', from home decoration and healthy eating to…
Adventures in love, risk and romance: Navigating post-traditional social relations on Indian dating shows
In recent years, Indian TV screens have seen a proliferation of reality shows focused on romance and dating. This essay examines a range of dating formats arguing that such shows offer rich insights into the ways in which contemporary Indian media culture is negotiating and promoting models of gendered individualism and ‘enterprising’ modes of selfhood. Drawing upon data from a study funded by the Australian Research Council on lifestyle and real…
Telemodernities: Television and Transforming Lives in Asia
Yoga gurus on lifestyle cable channels targeting time-pressured Indian urbanites; Chinese dating shows promoting competitive individualism; Taiwanese domestic makeover formats combining feng shui with life planning advice: Asian TV screens are increasingly home to a wild proliferation of popular factual programs providing lifestyle guidance to viewers. In Telemodernities Tania Lewis, Fran Martin, and Wanning Sun demonstrate how lifestyle-oriented…
Inside Out: A Diasporic Narrative
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Stuart Hall's writing began to take a biographical turn. For readers such as myself, then a mature undergraduate pursuing an American Studies degree in New Zealand, this was somewhat of a revelation. The surprise was not so much Hall's shift from the somewhat dry prose of structural Marxism to the rather more vital style of a postcolonially inflected poststructuralism, but the fact of Hall's Caribbean background…

Making resilience: Everyday affect and global affiliation in Australian Slow Cities
Resilience is becoming a key representational concept across academic, policy and planning literatures, creating a need to explore fully how experienced forms of resilience emerge. In this article we respond to this by analyzing how locality-based resilience is made, in the example of the emergent Slow City movement in Australia. Through their activities and narratives Australian Slow City leaders expressed their relationship to the (broadly sust…

Ethical Consumption
A not-so-quiet revolution seems to be occurring in wealthy capitalist societies - supermarkets selling ‘guilt free’ Fairtrade products; lifestyle TV gurus exhorting us to eat less, buy local and go green; neighbourhood action groups bent on ‘swopping not shopping’. And this is happening not at the margins of society but at its heart, in the shopping centres and homes of ordinary people. Today we are seeing a mainstreaming of ethical concerns arou…
Lifestyle Media and Social Transformation in Asia
Across Asia, the past three decades have been marked by shared experiences of hyper-accelerated social, cultural and economic transformation. Consumer culture plays an increasing role in countries once dominated by socialism, and neo-liberal economic and social policies increasingly are being adopted by authoritarian statist regimes. More and more, governments address their citizens as individualised, sovereign consumers with reflexive 'choices' …

Seeking health information on the internet: Lifestyle choice or bad attack of cyberchondria

DIY selves: Reflexivity and habitus in young people’s use of the internet for health information
In Ulrich Beck’s writings on the ‘risk society’ he depicts contemporary western social identity as reflexive and ad hoc-shaped through calculative strategies of self-management rather than traditional social categories such as class. Beck’s model of ‘reflexive individualization’ can be seen to be particularly pertinent to the realm of health today, which is increasingly marked by discourses of the ‘DIY’ subject.
