Abstract

The SoP approach views consumption as attached to vertical chains of provisioning linked to the materiality of specific goods or services, shaped by the context and the agents associated with the system. This chapter locates the SoP approach within the wider body of systems-based consumption literature such as ‘consumption as practice’, highlighting the distinctive contribution offered. The chapter documents some of the empirical research that has applied the SoP approach often in combination with other theoretical perspectives on consumption. The chapter shows how the SoP approach can contribute to our understandings of some of the gravest threats facing society including climate change and inequality. The chapter concludes with reference to emerging global crises from finance through obesity to the pandemic of Covid-19, and shows how the SoP approach offers significant promise for future academic research and policymaking in these areas and beyond.

Vorheriges Kapitel A SoP Approach to Understanding Food Consumption
Fußnoten
1
See Cook, Crang & Thorpe (1998), and Warde and Martens (2000) and Shove (2003), respectively, for example. For an update on eating out, see Paddock, Warde & Whillans (2017).

This is not to suggest there was no dissent, especially from what might be termed the dualism police, charging the SoP approach in particular for invalid separations between one or other aspect, such as social and natural, material and cultural and so on. Indeed, Guthman (2002) parodies the SoP approach as such and for its supposed determinism attached to its political economy together with its corresponding neglect of reflexivity, not least because ‘senses of taste … each maps onto any system of provision in different ways’, p. 301/2. But, apart from at least implicitly and inconsistently accepting the SoP approach, this is exactly application and conclusion of the SoP approach itself. For discussion of responses to the dualisms critique of the SoP approach, see footnote in Chap. 5 and Fine (2002, 2004).

See also van Vliet, Chappells & Shove (2005) and Southerton, Chappells & van Vliet (Eds.) (2004). Note that these contributions not only draw upon the SoP approach but anticipate much of what becomes stronger within the literature, as laid out below, especially in relation to focus on infrastructure, intersections across SoPs, and sustainability
 
5
Note that the third point on alternatives is indicative of an increasing politics and policy turn.
 
6
Note that two decades after its emergence, the SoP approach merits an entry by Evans in Southerton (Ed.) (2011) but alongside five or six hundred other entries. It does not even merit an index entry less than a decade later in Keller, Halkier, Wilska & Truninger (Eds.) (2017)! On the other hand, there is a whole chapter in the 2018 SAGE Handbook of Consumer Culture. But we are co-authors and it was included at our own suggestion (Bayliss, Fine & Robertson 2018b)!

It is interesting to speculate why this should be so, or not, by comparison with other topics and associated, more or less hegemonic approaches. Some do become drowned, even superseded, by those jumping on the bandwagon from other perspectives, as with social capital theory and the displacement of Bourdieu as its modern founder, Fine (2010). Others, such as the developmental state paradigm, remain relatively stable and narrow in their scope of approaches, and this is especially so of the welfare regime approach, see Fine and Pollen (2018) and Fine (2014), respectively. For topics such as globalization, neoliberalism and financialization, there are any number of approaches whatever the concepts’ origins.

See also Tonkiss (2015) on moral economy in the context of infrastructure.

With reference to the SoP approach, Harris (2014, p. 7) sees the neoliberalization of social work in terms of marketisation, consumerization and managerialization, concluding that ‘The extent to which these processes have taken hold and the precise combinations in which they appear vary but they constitute a direction of travel in many countries.’
 
10
The role of SoP and other systems based approaches in relation to sustainability is discussed in more detail below.

It is no accident that there is a close relationship between the University of Leeds component of the iBuild programme and the Lili research.

As again and again in British rail, see Haines-Doran (2019).

With system of provision mentioned many times without reference to its literature. Note that waste and recycling as topics have explicitly been drawn to SoP analyses on a number of occasions, not least OECD (2002).
 
18
See also Bell, Judson, Bulkeley, Powells, Capova & Lynch (2015) which also seems to take the SoP approach for granted.

The extent to which the gravity of the pandemic was accentuated by malnutrition among war-tired populations is unclear. However, the fact that the disease, even in serious forms, spread through countries that were neutral or completely uninvolved in the war, such as Spain, seems to suggest that malnutrition was not a key factor.
 
21
This comes from the foreword to the report. Within its body, p. 12/13:
Fifty years after the original White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health, the U.S. faces a very different national nutrition crisis, together with newer challenges of climate change and sustainability. While calorie malnutrition in America has been largely eradicated, changes to our food system accompanied by persistent poverty and increasing economic inequality have created a crisis of diet-related obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases, and widened other disparities in the accessibility and affordability of nutritious foods. Not addressed at the 1969 conference but highly relevant today is the added challenge of feeding a growing population healthfully and sustainably and without exacerbating climate change and depleting natural resources.
 
22
Other leading preventable causes of not being able to join the military include lacking adequate education and having a history of crime or drug use (Maxey, Bishop-Josef & Goodman 2018).
 
23
This astonishing report by Maxey et al. (2018), is preceded by the even more astonishing (Still) too Fat to Fight, Mission: Readiness (2010, 2012).
 
26
Interestingly, height has become a favoured index of under-nutrition for times past; today, as a sign of changed times, it tends to have been displaced by the body-mass index, BMI, a measure of weight relative to height!

Indeed:
Healthcare costs are imperiling other priorities in federal and state budgets and in the economy as a whole. Healthcare spending rose from 5% of all federal spending in 1970 to 28% in 2018 and from 11.3% of state budgets in 1989 to 28.7% in 2016. For U.S. businesses, healthcare expenditures rose (in constant 2017 dollars) from $79 billion in 1970 to $1.18 trillion in 2017). On a per capita basis, annual healthcare spending has increased from $1797 per person in 1970 to $10,739 per person in 2017 (in constant 2017 dollars).
