| Zusammenfassung: |
Social practice theories help challenge the often hidden paradigms, worldviews and values at the basis of many unsustainable practices. However, practice theoretical research can struggle to provide effective results for policymaking. Connected to social practices, discourses and their boundaries define what is seen as possible, what the range of issues and their solutions are. By exploring the connections between practices and discourses Minna Kanerva develops a conceptual approach to help enable purposive change in unsustainable social practices. This is done in an interdisciplinary manner integrating different literatures. Secondly, she takes meat and the current meat system as a central theme. Radical transformation towards new meatways is arguably necessary, yet complex psychological, ideological and power related mechanisms currently slow down and inhibit change. |
