This article is based on the ethnography of a business club in Brussels whose members come from the Belgian economic elite. It analyzes the car as a personal object and a commercial product, its uses and its meanings for the members of the Club. The car illustrates both the position occupied by the members (mostly white men running medium and large companies), the gender and class privileges they enjoy, and the discourses and practices they produce and share in response to the climate crisis. After situating the framework of analysis at the intersection of masculinities studies and the anthropology of capitalism, its first section focuses on vintage cars, which both embody the car as a masculine object and illustrate members’environmental privileges. The second section deals more specifically with automobility as a tool of freedom, especially for men, and the obstacles it encounters. It argues that altermobilities should be viewed not as an alternative model of mobility, but as an extension of members’spatial privileges linked to cars. Finally, the last section analyzes their discourse about electric cars, which illustrates both an eco-modern vision of capitalist progress and the members’main concern: the survival of their companies through adaptation. Using different empirical entry points, each section highlights the means members deploy to maintain their dominant gender, race and class status.
