“…In other households from our sample, female interviewees described quite proudly how they took responsibility for managing their family's heating patterns. A number of studies have illustrated the complexities of the gendered, spatially distributed, character of power surrounding domestic work (Meah & Jackson, 2017). For example, Abarca (2006) has challenged the notion that cooking is necessarily an inferior domestic activity by explaining that cooking can be perceived as an affirmation of skill, knowledge, and identitya transformative space to 'engage in their own everyday acts of agency' (Abarca, 2006, p. 22).…”

Energy poverty is widely recognized as a problem that affects millions of households globally. Particularly in the 'Global North' context, research into this phenomenon has tended to treat households as monolithic units, with little investigation into whether and how energy poverty is differentially experienced within homes. We address this research lacuna by scrutinizing the gender dimensions of domestic energy use and deprivation. Drawing on extensive qualitative research in Poland, Greece and Czechia, we identify two ways in which energy poverty is differentially experienced along gender lines: household practices of responding to and resisting energy poverty, and the emotional labour of living with energy poverty. We also demonstrate how the negotiation of domestic energy deprivation can unveil not only gendered vulnerabilities, but also agency and emancipatory mechanisms. The paper thus provides insights that set an agenda for further research on gendered energy injustices beyond a simplistic, dichotomized victimization discourse.

“…Hoiva sijaitsee julkisen ja yksityisen rajapinnoilla (Fisher & Tronto 1990). Esimerkiksi ruoan välityksellä hoivaamiseen kodin piirissä kohdistuu myös julkinen katse ja normatiivisia odotuksia: kuka pitää huolta ja miten (Meah & Jackson 2017, 2077. Hoivan eettis-poliittisten ulottuvuuksien painottaminen toisin sanottuna purkaa julkisen ja yksityisen välistä dikotomiaa ja asettaa koko kysymyksen yksityisestä ja henkilökohtaisesta, julkisesta ja kollektiivisesta suhteessa eettiseen toimintaan uudelleen.…”

“…Vaikka ruoan ja hoivan yhteyksiä on tutkittu jonkin verran (mm. Miele & Evans 2010;Morgan 2010;Abbots, Lavis & Attala 2015;Meah & Jackson 2017) samoin kuin muita erilaisia esineitä ja asioita hoivan kohteina (Puig de la Bellacasa 2015; Ureta 2016; Kinnunen 2017), ruokahävikin vähentämistä ei tietääksemme ole aiemmin tarkasteltu hoivaamisen näkökulmasta. Tunnistamamme hoivan erilaiset ilmenemismuodot tuottavat siis merkittävän teoreettisen kontribuution ruokahävikkitutkimuksen kentälle.…”

Hoiva ruokahävikin vähentämisen arkisissa käytännöissäCare in everyday practices of reducing food waste This article explores the ways through which care manifests in everyday food waste reduction practices. The article is positioned within a more than human approach, which emphasises blurred ontological and epistemological boundaries among and across (assemblages of) humans, nonhumans, things and issues (re)forming sociomaterial worlds. Drawing empirical insights from (n)ethnographic materials that have been generated in an ongoing research project focusing on consumers as active reducers of food waste, the article discusses three overlapping ways (labour/work, affect/affection and ethics/politics) through which we care for and live with food waste in both research and everyday life. Labour/work entails hands-on relations with food (waste), wherein food is understood as an active participant in the reduction practices. In affective practices, food waste reduction is closely attached to our bodies (and other bodies) as well as the senses of sight, touch and smell. Through ethico-political doings, food waste reduction becomes a collective issue, encompassing, for instance, gendered division of labour. The article argues for understanding food waste as a matter of care and maps out the consequences of such understanding for environmental-political agency.

Addressing the spatial dimensions of risk, this paper examines the multiple ways that consumers negotiate the 'riskscapes' associated with the consumption of convenience food. It explores how convenience food poses a range of risks and potential ways of mitigating those risks. Drawing on empirical research from Germany and the UK, the paper demonstrates how food risks should be contextualized within the practices of everyday life and how consumer understandings of risk differ from expert risk assessments. The paper locates a number of different sites within the riskscape associated with convenience food, going beyond the focus on food safety and security that are the main concerns of health authorities and government advisors. Deicit models of food risk are criticised and alternatives are proposed that emphasise the socially embedded nature of risk within the practices of everyday life. Zusammenfassung: Mit Bezug auf die räumlichen Dimensionen von Risko werden in diesem Aritkel die unterschiedlichen Aushandlungen von "Riskscapes" im Zusammenhang mit dem Konsum von Convenience Food untersucht. Dabei wird Convenience Food nicht nur als Quelle von Risiken gesehen, sondern auch als eine Möglichkeit der Risikominderung. Mit Bezug auf empirische Forschung in Deutschland und Großbritannien zeigt der Artikel, dass Lebensmittelkonsum im Kontext der Praktiken alltäglichen Lebens betrachtet werden sollten und dass sich das Verständnis von Lebensmitteln und Risiken im Alltag von den Risikobewertungen der Experten unterscheidet. Der Artikel identiiziert mehrere Risikoorte in denen Convenience Food eine Rolle spielt und geht dabei über den Fokus auf Food Safety und Food Security hinaus, der oftmals vorrangig für Gesundheitsbehörden und Regierungsberater ist. Allgemein kritisch gesehen werden Deizitmodelle von Lebensmittelkonsum und Konsumentscheidungen. Als Alternative dazu betonen wir, dass Risiken in die Praktken des Alltagslebens eingebettet sind und kontextualisiert untersucht werden sollten.
