Branding de lugares sostenibles
In an increasingly digital society, restoring contact with nature has become a major challenge. This study proposes green place branding as an innovative way to foster emotional bonds between people and the natural environments in their cities, combining immersive technologies with an inclusive and emotionally positive brand approach. Based on an exploratory study using interviews and surveys, the initial findings suggest that immersive tools can…
Conceptualizing digital placemaking in nature for wellbeing
Increased urban population has created a disconnection between humans and natural environments that needs to be recognised as a key challenge. This article proposes that disconnection from nature in urban settings can be mitigated by digital placemaking. A conceptual framework which accounts for place attachment and place branding, Social Identity Theory and nature connectedness is presented. The benefit of this approach is that it can help us un…
Infrastructuring alternative markets
The aim of this paper is to advance our understanding of the complex material arrangements involved in the formation of AFNs by applying the concept of market infrastructure and turning our attention to the process of infrastructuring. Based on an ethnographic study of REKO rings, a network of local food markets, we show how disparate elements, e.g. digital interfaces, parking locations, and Swish (an electronic payment system), are interconnecte…
Reconfiguring food materialities
The aim of this paper is to conceptualize and discuss how plant-based food consumption is accomplished in an environment pre-configured by meat-based food practices. Drawing on ethnographic interviews with thirteen consumers, and using a socio-material practice approach, the paper demonstrates how plant-based shopping, cooking and eating practices are enabled and shaped by material reconfigurations. The paper shows how developments such as an exp…
The construction and navigation of riskscapes in public health advice and mothers’ accounts of weaning
This paper adds to critical studies of risk and mothering by illustrating and conceptualising how risk is constructed in public health advice and mothers’ accounts of weaning. Previous research points towards a gap between public health scientific definitions of risk and mothers’ contextual understandings and experience of handling complex and often conflicting risks linked to food and feeding. It has been suggested that public health discourse m…
Convenient Food for Baby
This article reports findings from a study of weaning from a perspective informed by practice theory. The overall aim is to examine how parents integrate convenience baby food into their everyday feeding practices. The focus is the embedding of convenience baby foods in the routines and rhythms of everyday life and the “do-ability” of different practices. The study is based on fieldwork with nineteen mothers in Falköping in western Sweden. Result…
Best for baby? Framing weaning practice and motherhood in web-mediated marketing
The aim is to illustrate how web marketing frame commercial baby food as a value-adding part of weaning practice and discuss how various ways of framing relate to contemporary mothering ideals. Drawing on “practice” and “frame analysis,” we illustrate how four baby food producers’ web marketing frame commercial baby food and weaning as “medical,” “fun” or “convenient.” The analysis shows that the web material offers a range of images and ideals t…
Risk Stories in the Media
Although media-fueled food scares are often described as linked to consumers’ food anxieties, previous studies of food consumption have failed to explore fully how foodscare reports add to consumers’ anxieties. Using a relational theory of risk and a narrative approach, this article highlights how food-scare reports, through various risk accounts, create anxiety-inducing stories where consumers are appointed as handlers of conflicting food risks.…
