Understanding the diffusion of Sustainable Product-Service Systems: Insights from the sociology of consumption and practice theory (2015, background): “In the last decade, practice theory has emerged as a new approach in the sociology of consumption (Schatzki, 1996; Reckwitz, 2002; Shove, 2003; Warde, 2005; Røpke, 2009; Shove et al., 2012; Southerton et al., 2012; Spurling and McMeekin, 2014).”
The Impacts of Household Consumption and Options for Change (2010, neutral): “…and context and hence choose a unit of analysis that is rather specific to a particular setting or application (Spaargaren 2003; Spaargaren et al. 2006; Guy and Shove 2007; McMeekin and Southerton 2007; Gram-Hanssen 2007, 2008; Kjellberg 2008; Quitzau and Røpke 2008; Wilhite 2008; Røpke 2009).”
Ordering theories: Typologies and conceptual frameworks for sociotechnical change (2017, neutral): “To make sense of this complex nature of practices, social practice theorists (Ropke, 2009; Reckwitz, 2002; Shove et al., 2012; Watson, 2012) have argued that analysts must investigate at least four topics: •• Materials (sometimes called ‘materialities’), meant to include things, technologies,…”
Crisis and continuity of capitalist society-nature relationships: The imperial mode of living and the limits to environmental governance (2013, background): “…Pierre Bourdieu, about unsustainable consumption practices as part of the fact that individuals are bearers of deeply rooted routine practices, which, in turn, are linked to competencies, meaning and material artefacts (Reckwitz, 2002; Shove et al., 2007; surveys in Røpke, 2009; Spaargaren, 2011).”
Housing renovations and energy efficiency: insights from homeowners’ practices (2014, background): “As detailed accounts of theories of practice are provided elsewhere (e.g. Gram-Hanssen, 2010; Røpke, 2009; Shove, Pantzar, & Watson, 2012) and how these differ from behavioural, rational and systemic approaches (Evans, McMeekin, & Southerton, 2012; Spaargaren, 2011), this paper does not cover this g”
Analysing cycling as a social practice: An empirical grounding for behaviour change (2015, background): “Although various configurations exist (Schatzki, 1996; Southerton, 2013; Warde, 2005), the version most helpful for application to behaviour change is Shove et al.’s (2012) three element model, due to its relatively parsimonious approach (see Fig.”
Consumption in the Circular Economy: A Literature Review (2018, background): “This approach aims at bridging approaches rooted in the individual and social structures by offering a middle point [47].”
Practice-ing behaviour change: Applying social practice theory to pro-environmental behaviour change (2011, background): “Crucially, these social dynamics of practice are often underplayed in both conventional behaviour change approaches (Nye and Hargreaves, 2010) and in practice-based accounts (Hitchings, 2010; Røpke, 2009).”
New needs for better understanding of household's energy consumption – behaviour, lifestyle or practices? (2014, background): “It is this line of thinking that has now led to the establishment of a practice theoretical framework for understanding energy consumption in everyday life (Gram-Hanssen, 2010a, 2010b, 2011; Hargreaves, 2011; Røpke, 2009; Røpke, Christensen, & Jensen, 2010; Shove &Walker, 2010; Strengers, 2010).”
Lifestyle Practices and Proenvironmental Technology (2012, background): “Practice theory views the practice itself as the unit of analysis; individuals or social groups are just “carriers” of the practice (Ropke, 2009).”
A coevolutionary framework for analysing a transition to a sustainable low carbon economy (2011, background): “The wider social and cultural context of individual behaviours is also examined in sociological work on social practices, which has also recently been applied to ecological economic issues (Ropke, 2009).”
Strong sustainable consumption governance – precondition for a degrowth path? (2013, background): “Moreover, an sSC approach reaches beyond consumption as an economic activity taking place in markets based on monetary values and conceives well-being as much more independent from material commodities (Layard, 2005; Marks et al., 2006; Røpke, 2009).”
