“…In recent decades, many sociological studies focusing on everyday food consumption have used practice theory to strengthen their theoretical bases (e.g. Halkier, 2010Halkier, , 2021O'Connell and Brannen, 2016;Torkkeli et al, 2020Torkkeli et al, , 2021Warde, 2016) instead of previously dominant cultural analyses (see e.g. Warde, 2014).…”

Carrying out proper food practices in family life is seen as the inherent and taken-for-granted responsibility of parents. However, the theoretically solid and comprehensive picture of coordination relating to parental food practices is missing. This study aims to map the coordination of cooking-related practices in today’s hurried family life. By applying practice theory, we employ the concept of foodwork as referring to a bundle of cooking-related practices. The coordination of foodwork is explored through material arrangements, temporal activities and interpersonal relationships in the theoretical part of the study. The empirical analysis utilises multiform qualitative data consisting of cooking videos shot by five Finnish families for one week and interviews with the families. The concept of adjustments is developed through the data analysis to provide a nuanced understanding of how parents reflectively and unreflectively integrate their foodwork into inevitable ongoing changes of everyday life. The study elaborates on the coordination of parental foodwork defining six adjustment themes: appropriateness, sequences, synchronisation, duties, significance and acceptance. Themes illustrate continuous, temporal, material and interpersonal adjustments of foodwork. As a result, the study constructs the comprehensive understanding of parental foodwork by providing novel, theoretically and empirically elaborated and interrelated concepts for future studies. The concept of foodwork and themes of adjustment enable a topical and multidimensional approach to identify and interpret the complex coordination of practices, what, for example, the change towards healthier and more sustainable cooking and eating can provoke in households and a family life.

“…To analyse the results, we applied a theory of practice approach that encourages analysis of the materials, equipment, skills, competencies, knowledge, beliefs and their interactions, as these are performed by participants (Martens & Scott, 2017;Meah & Watson, 2011;Sutton, 2006;Torkkeli, Mäkelä, & Niva, 2018;Truninger, 2011).…”

“…It is related to what Reckwitz calls mental activities, emotions, and motivational knowledge [34]. Competences are understood as skills and know-how, practical knowledge, or techniques [27], for example, knowing how to prepare a particular recipe [35]. Lastly, Materials refers to "objects, infrastructures, tools, hardware and the body itself" [27].…”

Going Vegan: The Role(s) of ICT in Vegan Practice Transformation

2020

With the debate on climate change, topics of diet change and the reduction of animal products have become increasingly important in both public and academic discourses. However, sustainable ICT studies have so far focused on individual aspects, in particular investigating the criticized persuasive design approach. We argue for a broader perspective on the role(s) of ICT, one that helps in identifying opportunities to support consumer practice transformation, beyond motivational aspects. Based on retrospective interviews with 16 vegans, we argue to understand practice transformation as co-evolution of practices and ICT artefacts, as this perspective helps to understand how tensions arising from complex entanglements of practices, socio-material contexts, and communities can be resolved. Rather than a motivational process, we observe various roles of ICT artefacts co-evolving with practices: Ranging from initial irritation, to access to information about vegan practices, to the learning of vegan food literacy, to the negotiation of a vegan identity, and vegan norms at the intersection of the ‘odd’ and the ‘norm’.
