TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2022.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : In participatory grocery stores, consumers participate in decision-making processes and everyday practical tasks. These stores question dominant models and offer opportunities to experiment with alternatives. Yet, these projects oftentimes include individuals with high economic, social, and cultural capital. We build on the notion of counter-culture to analyze discourses, practices, and social composition in relation to a participatory grocery store in Geneva. Our study reveals the tensions between the construction of a viable economic alternative and the wish to be inclusive of social diversity.
