Abstract

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic that first swept across the world in 2020 led to disruptions in habits and routines—central themes in social practice approaches to consumption. Teaching was also disrupted: the move to online classes forced the development of new modalities of teaching and learning. As a result, a group of social science instructors in a “sustainable consumption” network came together to engage students in a reflexivity exercise through weekly journal entries at four universities located in Switzerland, Germany, and Ireland. The students were invited to document how their everyday practices were changing, and how these reported changes related to “sustainable wellbeing.” Further, they were encouraged to reflect on how notions of the collective were reimagined in light of the uncertain sanitary situation. Our analyses show how individual wellbeing is tied to time and social interactions, which are both structured by spatial arrangements. We also discuss how students situate changes in relation to broader, societal trends, hinting at how “sustainable wellbeing” contrasts with other teleoaffective formations such as economic health. We conclude with a discussion around the implications of the journaling method in relation to other participatory processes toward the normative aim of a good life for all.

通过实践信息学生期刊的反身性:“可持续幸福”如何与远程情感相关
2019冠状病毒病大流行于2020年首次席卷全球,导致习惯和常规的中断,这是社会实践消费方法的核心主题。教学也被打乱了:转向在线课程迫使新的教学模式的发展。因此,一群“可持续消费”网络的社会科学讲师聚集在一起,通过瑞士、德国和爱尔兰四所大学的每周日记条目,让学生参与反思练习。学生们被邀请记录他们的日常实践是如何变化的,以及这些报告的变化与“可持续健康”的关系。此外,鼓励他们考虑如何根据不确定的卫生状况重新构想集体的概念。我们的分析表明,个人的幸福感是如何与时间和社会互动联系在一起的,而这两者都是由空间安排构成的。我们还讨论了学生如何将变化与更广泛的社会趋势联系起来,暗示“可持续福祉”与其他远程情感形态(如经济健康)的对比。最后,我们讨论了日志方法与其他参与性过程的关系,以实现人人享有美好生活的规范目标。

期刊介绍: Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy is a refereed, open-access journal which recognizes that climate change and other socio-environmental challenges require significant transformation of existing systems of consumption and production. Complex and diverse arrays of societal factors and institutions will in coming decades need to reconfigure agro-food systems, implement renewable energy sources, and reinvent housing, modes of mobility, and lifestyles for the current century and beyond. These innovations will need to be formulated in ways that enhance global equity, reduce unequal access to resources, and enable all people on the planet to lead flourishing lives within biophysical constraints. The journal seeks to advance scientific and political perspectives and to cultivate transdisciplinary discussions involving researchers, policy makers, civic entrepreneurs, and others. The ultimate objective is to encourage the design and deployment of both local experiments and system innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future by empowering individuals and organizations and facilitating processes of social learning.
