Weaving Through Weather on a Danish Caravan Site
The aim of this article is to study embodied experiences and negotiations with everyday weather on a Danish caravan site. I present a contrast to representations of certain types of weather as something you travel away from to seek out the sun. This is done by introducing a sensuous and embodied focus to mundane weather that is also encountered on holiday. Drawing on conceptions of embodiment, the everyday and sensuous, I argue that experiences o…
When it Stops Being Food: The Edibility, Ideology, Procrastination, Objectification and Internalization of Household Food Waste
The paper examines how Western consumers ideologically and culturally construct edibility, and discusses how this affects household food waste. Consumers' enactments of food waste range from hedonist to altruist ideologies, anchored in a continuum ranging from "disgust" to "duty" and "respect." Furthermore, consumers' categorizations of food as edible or not depend on their self-enactment of competency, leading to internalization or objectificati…
We have not seen the kids for hours’: The case of family holidays and free-range children
The purpose of this paper is to explore what ‘children having a good time’ means in the context of a mundane type of holidaying, namely caravanning.

Freedom in mundane mobilities: Caravanning in Denmark
Freedom is a widely discussed and highly elusive concept, and has long been represented in exoticised, masculinised and individualised discourses. Freedom is often exemplified through the image of a solitary male explorer leaving the female space of home and familiarity and going to remote places of the world. Through in-situ interviews with families caravanning in Denmark, the primary aim of this study is to challenge existing dominant discourse…
Vacability and sociability as touristic attraction
Researchers sometimes portray the tourist as someone who travels the world searching for authentic experiences and scorns both ‘being a tourist’ and other tourists. However, in drawing on two studies of seemingly mundane kinds of holidays, this article points to two under-researched dimensions. The first dimension is ‘sociability’ and relates to the skill or tendency of being social during the holidays. This dimension covers tourists’ searches fo…
