Materialiserad moral : Smartphone, applikationer och etisk konsumtion

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ethical consumption, that is, to make certain consumption choices due to personal moral beliefs and values is a growing trend and market. In this article we analyze three ethical smartphone apps developed and marketed in order to help consumers to make ethical product choices: for example, where to find the nearest café selling Fair Trade coffee, whether the salmon in the store is red-listed or if there are any cleaning products that are certified as environmentally friendly. In this text we argue that such digital consumer technologies have some potential to influence consumer actions. The article critically discusses whether and how technologies may shape ethical consumer culture. We conceptualize the smartphone apps and their suggested consumer actions in the form of four "consumer models": the selecting consumer, the status seeking consumer; and the social and productive consumer. The purpose of this article is to analyze the ways that smartphone applications shape ethical consumption in the sense of suggesting particular representations of who an ethical consumer is and how ethical consumption is accomplished. The normative assumptions of these consumer models are discussed. Our analysis build on interviews with app developers, marketing texts, and "object ethnography", i.e. close up readings and examinations of smartphone apps as intentional consumer objects equipped with scripts for consumer.

Urban Cultures: Fallet Kommersen
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Urban Cultures: Fallet Kommersen (Case Kommersen) This project builds upon knowledge derived from our previous work with Urban Cultures (se Gillberg et al 2012), which was a summary of both theoretical (cultural) perspectives on the city as well as cultural everyday doings within the city. Our conclusion then, which is our point of departure now, was that urban cultures needed the city to be an enabling city. This time we want to further explore this topic by investigating the city in real life. Our intention is modest and based on the humble thought of a possibility to add some positive insights from adding culture – as a methodological and analytic perspective, a concept and an empirical given – into the mix of ingredients commonly associated with the notion of sustainability. One way of reaching the sustainable city is thought to be by making the city dense. Therefore one of the aims of this project is to investigate what the concept cultural densification would consist of and what it would mean to use it within city planning. To do so we have chosen the flea market Kommersen at Masthuggstorget, Gothenburg as our case study. We argue that markets, and in this case an urban flea market, are important phenomena that contribute to sustainable urban cultures in specific ways depending on particular market mechanisms, organizational features and socio-cultural dimensions of the flea market. In conclusions we present the concept of sustainable cultural densification defined as: urban cultures are drivers of complex processes of layering of values over time. These values could be seen as solutions to different problems residing in cities, and a lens through which to perceive of sustainable urbanity.

Biking consumers: bags, bikes and sustainability
- 2013
-
Ingår i: International Society for Ethnology and Folklore, SIEF, Conference, Tartu 30 June – 4 July 2013.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Things are not always consumed at the same place where they were obtained and this generates a mobility of moving things that the consumer is responsible for, i.e. a mundane consumer logistic conducted by customers while moving things from stores to places where the things are used. Means of transport and carrying for "getting this work done", for example bicycles, are not essentially enabling or disabling: for the strong, healthy and able-bodied, cycling equals healthy pleasure and leisure but the slightly "over-carrying" person moving recent purchases might perceive the physical environment more in terms of risk than aesthetic pleasure. The aim of the paper is to discuss discrepancies between cycling as a represented sustainable form of urban transportation as promoted in policy programs in Sweden and cyclists' experiences of bringing goods back from the store. Over the last ten or more years bicycling has reached a top place on both the academic and policy agenda in search for ways to increase use of bicycles as they are seen as healthy and sustainable means of urban transportation. When doing everyday consumer errands like grocery shopping, any aesthetic pleasure, effects on health or the environment derived from cycling must be related to experiences of discomfort, physical effort and safety measures. In this paper we confront sustainability transport policy directed towards urban dwellers with an ethnographic analysis of biking consumers. We combine data obtained through in-depth interviews and "go-along observations" with families with small children and elderly people.

Konsumtionsrapporten 2022
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I Konsumtionsrapporten 2022 sammanfattas och analyseras konsumtionen i Sverige under 2021 och merparten av 2022. I den första delen, ”Hushållens konsumtion” ges en översikt över den privata konsumtionen i Sverige, hur den har förändrats i såväl kortare som längre perspektiv samt hushållens framtidstro avseende sin egen och Sveriges ekonomi. I andra delen, ”Detaljhandeln” beskrivs försäljning och utveckling inom detaljhandeln under 2021 och inledningen av 2022 med fokus på olika delbranscher, kanaler och platser, e-handeln respektive den butiksbaserade detaljhandeln. Den andra delen avslutas med handelns framtidsförväntningar. Den tredje delen ”Framtidsutsikter” tar avstamp i konsumenters och handelns framtidsförväntningar från de två första delarna och fördjupar analysen av framtidsutsikter utifrån publicerade prognoser och uttalanden från ekonomiska bedömare. Årets rapport innehåller tre fördjupningsdelar som var en och analyserar aktuella teman inom konsumtion. Under lång tid har det skett en ökad digitalisering av konsumtionen och inte minst under pandemin har många konsumtionsbeteenden förskjutits mot en allt större användning av internet och olika digitala gränssnitt som till exempel webshopar, social media och strömningstjänster. I takt med detta har det också väckts många frågor som berör säkerhet och personlig integritet online. I den första av fördjupningsdelarna analyserar Jeanette Carlsson Hauff konsumenters upplevda fördelar och risker avseende digital integritet vid användning av olika digitala tjänster. I den andra fördjupningsdelen visar Niklas Sörum på konsumenters olika förhållningssätt till datainsamling och datadriven marknadsföring. Andra konsumtionsbeteenden som aktualiserats under de senaste åren är olika typer av reaktioner på eller förberedelser inför kriser i termer av bunkring, hamstring och prepping. I den tredje delen analyserar och diskuterar Elias Mellander olika exempel på kriskonsumtion och hemberedskap.
