Consumption studies in the global south
This article addresses the collective learnings from studying consumption across various regions to inspire and inform further research on low-carbon transitions and the pursuit of the good life. In order to shed light on the growing dynamism and richness of the field of consumption studies outside traditional circuits of discussion in the so-called global north, this article presents an experimental writing exercise conducted with 16 scholars wh…
Of Practices and (Micro)politics
Waste generation in Sub-Saharan Africa is increasing rapidly. While biodegradable waste remains predominant, it is rarely treated separately by municipal solid waste management systems, thus foregoing the possibility to reduce the volume going to landfills or dumpsites. This paper discusses the unique case of the small city of Dschang, Cameroon, where the municipality operates two central composting plants that treat about 20% of the city’s house…
Street Vending Power Relationships and Governance of Public Spaces in Bafoussam, West Cameroon
Street vending has a strong and latent structuring power, supported by distribution networks which exploit informal economies. It is regarded as a terminal of a massive supply of goods and their commercialisation in Southern Cities. Intermediate cities such as Bafoussam, animating dynamic peripheries have an economic fabric which is strongly supported by informal economies. These cities seek to regulate informal trade in order to mitigate unemplo…

This study examines how migrant households relocate their homes in two Cameroonian cities over the course of lifetimes or even generations. The central claim is that homeownership is the ultimate sign of integration into city life. Using qualitative and quantitative research methods (218 interviews, 30 focus groups and a household survey, sample size 686), the study argues that three key factors explain why people move: the quality of housing the…
