Peak electricity demand and the flexibility of everyday life (2014, background): “…of demand for power, the different material forms of energy used to meet such demands, and the ways in which demands for power are socially and temporally arranged (for important exceptions, see (Strengers 2011; Strengers 2013; Southerton et al. 2004; Chappells & Shove 2004; Higginson et al. 2013).”
Blaming the consumer – once again: the social and material contexts of everyday food waste practices in some English households (2011, background): “Accordingly, consumption is theorised in relation to the dynamics of everyday life and the social organisation of practices (see, e.g. Shove 2003, Southerton et al. 2004, Watson 2008).”
Varieties of Environmental Labelling, Market Structures, and Sustainable Consumption Across Europe: A Comparative Analysis of Organizational and Market Supply Determinants of Environmental-Labelled Goods (2011, background): “However, the amount and number of goods carrying an environmental label, as well as the distribution through certain retailing channels, provide consumers with a varying infrastructure for sustainable consumption (Southerton et al. 2004).”
Framing behavioural approaches to understanding and governing sustainable tourism consumption: beyond neoliberalism, “nudging” and “green growth”? (2013, background): “Shove reinforces the perspective of Southerton et al. (2004b), noted above, when she comments that present strategies of state intervention “presume that environmental damage is a consequence of individual action and that given better information or more appropriate incentives damaging individuals…”
A critical appraisal of Sustainable Consumption and Production research: The reformist, revolutionary and reconfiguration positions (2015, background): “And Southerton et al. (2004) suggest that forms and patterns of consumption may change because of alterations in the modes of provision (e.g. whether goods and services are provisioned through the state, markets, civil society or personal networks).”
Designing eco-feedback systems for everyday life (2011, background): “Similarly, studies of everyday life indicate that supply and demand are connected rather than split [40, 41, 49].”
Theories of practice -- New inspiration for ecological economic studies on consumption (2009, background): “Environmental aspectsmay be included directly in co-evolutionary studies on the changing configurations of practices, modes of provision and global supply chains, as has been demonstrated by various authors (Southerton et al., 2004; Princen et al., 2002; Schor, 2005).”
Standby Consumption in Households Analyzed With a Practice Theory Approach (2009, background): “In response to this appraisal, a significant body of literature has begun to emerge on routine aspects of consumption, with particular emphasis on the influence of technological structures on consumer behavior in relation to energy consumption (Shove 2003; Southerton et al. 2004).”
Transition heuristic frameworks in research on agro-food sustainability transitions (2020, background): “The theory of social practices investigates the social relations between producers and consumers, embedded in infrastructures (Hargreaves et al. 2013; Reckwitz 2002; Shove and Walker 2010; Southerton et al. 2004; Spaargaren and van Vliet 2000; Warde 2005).”
