  • Poetizing as a felt need for meaning-making in a cross-cultural team

  • Compliant resistance

    Open AccessHélène Cherrier, Rodrigo B CastilhosARTICLEEnvironment and Planning D…2025References: 37

    This paper examines how homeless individuals organize to face the many challenges (e.g. accessing food, fostering social connections, and securing emotional support) of systemic oppression. Through a spatial ethnographic case study of a grassroots organization operated by the homeless in Melbourne's City Square, we introduce the notion of compliant resistance: the creative, playful, non-confrontational, temporary, and norm-abiding form of spatial…

  • Tensions in the Enactment of Neoliberal Consumer Responsibilization for Waste

    Open AccessHélène Cherrier, Meltem Türe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Consumer Research2023Cited by: 10References: 51

    Research has explored consumer responsibilization processes, yet there is a lack of understanding about the tensions that consumers might experience when enacting their responsibility. Using a large data set collected in France around waste responsibilization, we demonstrate how waste pathways can generate spatiotemporal, guidance, and destructiveness tensions in households. Consumers respond to such tensions by keeping waste at home, which allow…

  • Custodian behavior

    Hélène CherrierARTICLEConsumption Markets & Culture2010Cited by: 6References: 35

    Custodian behavior is an everyday practice that certain consumers consciously perform in order to rescue and safeguard material objects from being thrown away or wasted. An analysis of nine in‐depth interviews with self‐identified custodian consumers shows custodian behavior to be a form of anti‐consumerism that resists the wastefulness of consumer culture. This study broadens the area examined by anti‐consumerism research by considering wider fo…

  • Disposal and simple living

    Open AccessHélène CherrierARTICLEJournal of Consumer Behaviour2009

    This study examines how consumers who engage in voluntary simplicity experience disposal in relation to changes in their values, identity, and lifestyle. The hermeneutic analysis shows disposal organized around three main themes: “desire for emancipation,” “sacrificing the surplus,” and “moving toward the sacred.” Each theme offers insights on disposal as a transcendental experience during which consumers relocate consumption meanings from the pr…

  • Reflexive Dispossession and the Self

    Hélène Cherrier, Jeff B MurrayARTICLEConsumption Markets & Culture2007Cited by: 27References: 34

    Based on phenomenological interviews with consumers who voluntarily engaged in the process of dispossession, the study develops an emerging processual theory of identity, which emphasizes four main stages: sensitization, separation, socialization, and striving. Each phase corresponds to evolving consumers' perceptions of the world and positioning of the self, and characterizes distinct meanings and experiences of consumption. Furthermore, our ana…
