Towards a good (enough) life
Everyday lives of young people are made difficult by high costs of living, housing and environmental crises but there is sparse academic literature that examines the ways in which this group navigates financial pressures and environmental concerns. This article revisits the concept of thrift in the context of contemporary challenges and reveals its place and significance in daily practices of young Australians. Drawing on visits at participants’ …
Yogalebrities
The appeal and impact of social media influencers within contemporary consumer culture has been a much-explored topic in fashion and media research. However, there are limited studies of yogalebrities – celebrity yoga practitioners who gain global visibility and following through branded product endorsements and modelling contracts – despite their leading role within the culturally and economically significant wellness industry. Furthermore, whil…
Popular Environmental Media in Australia
Proliferating media content is key to public understanding and discussions about the environment and climate change. While scholarly interest in mediated environmental communication has been ample and multi-directional, the questions around media's impacts remain pressing and largely under-theorised. This paper uses an example of popular environmental media in Australia - i.e. media aimed at attracting wide audiences - to discuss how impact is pe…
Mediatised marketplaces
Digital marketplaces are standard and pervasive sites to trade and exchange material consumer goods worldwide. Yet the media characteristics of different, situated marketplaces have received relatively sporadic attention from the field of media and communication studies, despite the otherwise prominent disciplinary interest in digital technologies, platforms and processes of mediatisation. This paper coalesces perspectives from social, geography …
House-sharing as a staged and mediated practice
This article considers how house-sharing – sharing a home with other, usually unrelated people – is mediated by digital technologies. Drawing on academic literature on house-sharing and self-(re)presentation in digital cultures, interviews with share-house residents in Melbourne, Australia, and user posts in house-sharing groups on Facebook, we identify a sequence of steps and stages integral to the process of (re)forming a share-house in the com…
At home with Gumtree
Shopping has received extensive scholarly attention across humanities and social science disciplines as an important set of activities that shape values, identities and politics in consumer societies. Cultural (or culturally inspired) investigations have offered rich accounts of department stores, shopping centres, street markets and secondhand outlets, theorising complex dynamics that create consumption spaces and shopping experiences in context…
Thrift Stores
Thrift stores, also known as charity or opportunity (op) shops, are important secondhand retail and social welfare hubs. Often run by not‐for‐profit organizations, they provide opportunities for people to volunteer, work, and shop for preloved goods locally and through growing online platforms. In this entry, we recognize the potential of thrift stores to support community and environmental programs – and point out some criticisms and challenges …
Dreaming Diversity
Introduction For migrants, the dream of a better life is often expressed by the metaphor of the journey (Papastergiadis 31). Propelled by a variety of forces and choices, migrant life narratives tend to revolve around movement from one place to another, from a homeland associated with cultural and spiritual origins to a hostland which offers new opportunities and possibilities. In many cases, however, their dreams of migrants are deferred; migran…
Thrift Television
Concepts of thrift and dwelling are central to how societies live together. Thrift refers to a complex and morally-loaded set of economic practices that people engage with out of necessity, choice, or both. Whilst home-making or dwelling refers to social integration and self-representation. The ways in which social realms of thrift and dwelling relate to each other are historically and culturally specific, and media representations are an importa…
Leisure Cultures and the Making of Modern Ski Resorts
Actor, intermediary, and context
Home renovations demonstrate the interplay between economic transactions and cultural values that shape consumption practice and consumer markets. The academic disciplines of environmental and social sciences and spheres of environmental policy and practice have taken interest in renovations because of their implications for improved environmental outcomes. However, a considerable blind spot in this work has been an out-of-step, largely one-dimen…
An Agent-Based Model of Residential Energy Efficiency Adoption
This paper reports on an Agent-Based Model. The purpose of developing this model is to describe 'the uptake of low carbon and energy e icient technologies and practices by households and under di erent interventions'. There is a particular focus on modelling non-financial incentives as well as the influence of social networks as well as the decision making by multiple types of agents in interaction, i.e. recommending agents and sales agents, not …
Diverse media practices and economies of Australian home renovators
This paper seeks to uncover a diversity of economic practices and engagement by home renovators, predominantly homeowners. In particular, we explore how different forms of media consumption and production intertwine to shape home renovation projects. While the Australian renovation market is a multi-billion-dollar industry, it is cut through with small-scale, informal modes of knowledge production and economic exchange. How people use media to le…
Media Sport
This article introduces the special issue on Media Sport: Practice, Culture and Innovation, and outlines the overall objectives and focus of the eight collected essays. The tripartite of 'practice, culture and innovation' encapsulates emerging themes in the study of media sport that connect with core (inter-)disciplinary concerns in and around communications and media studies: (1) media practice and what people do in relation to media; (2) the ro…
Practices of Media Sport
Media sport has a long history as a significant site of media innovation, and existing work in media and cultural studies has explored how media sport, technological innovation and regulatory frameworks interact. However, this work often focuses on how major actors such as broadcasting organisations, sporting bodies and telecommunications companies mediate sport. As a complementary strategy to this 'top-down' analysis, we approach media sport thr…
Deploying diverse approaches to an integrated study of thrift
With the recent Global Financial Crisis and enduring concerns around social and environmental sustainability, older ideas of thrift have gained new traction in public discussions, ushering in a new and diverse body of literature. This paper surveys existing writing on thrift across popular and academic domains, discussing ways in which these diverse perspectives can be systematized according to key approaches. Our argument is that, to date, narra…
Towards a general theory of thrift
Thrift used to mean necessary scrimping and saving in order to get by. But more recently, with growing prosperity coupled with a heightened sense of global social and environmental fragility, the meaning of thrift has shifted in advanced economies connecting with various practices geared towards reconfigured modes of consumption and lifestyles – ethical, conscientious or collaborative. Many scholars and commentators have noted this shift and at l…
Twin transformations’
This article uses an empirically grounded historical case study of The Salvation Army’s charity shops in Melbourne, Australia to review recent debates around the position and function of ‘cultural intermediaries’ beyond its traditional meaning and application to aesthetic sectors within cultural industries. Drawing on archival research, cultural observation and interviews with staff members, the article focuses on the stores’ specific cultural id…
Factory, dialogue, or network? Competing translation practices in BBC transcultural journalism
Drawing on interdisciplinary theories of translation and empirical research into the BBC World Service, I propose a set of three conceptual metaphors to model media-based translation work. ‘Factory’, ‘dialogue’ and ‘network’ can each serve as a metaphor for the processes of interlingual and transcultural journalism by international broadcasters. Rather than periodizing these historically, I propose that all three metaphors, from the Fordist centr…
The Skilled Social Voice
Recent approaches to human rights and communication have emphasized the move beyond traditional politics of recognition and self-representation towards the ‘right to be understood’. But how might we better understand the scope and content of such a right and its practical application? This article suggests that the right to be understood has a useful application in interventions aimed at promoting social inclusion and economic participation, and …
Young listening
Listening as the act of aural consumption has commonly been the moment in cultural practice around which analysis has cohered. This has certainly been the case with the cultural objects of popular music and radio broadcasting. Where young people have been brought into the frame of such analyses, the impact of listening on the formation of the self has been highly pronounced – leading at times to public panic around particular musical genres and t…
Public Service Broadcasting as an Infrastructure of Translation in the Age of Cultural Diversity
This article investigates a redefined socio-cultural role of European public service broadcasting as an infrastructure of translation in times of globalization, migration and the proliferation of new media providers. Drawing upon research into multilingual broadcasting in Europe and Australia, and in particular a case study of Special Broadcasting Service Australia (SBS), it argues for an ongoing relevance of European public service broadcasting …
