This article presents some key aspects related to the development the "local technologies catalog for climate action," a platform aimed at making visible different artifacts, strategies, and practices developed and/or adapted to mitigate a specific socio-environmental problem by communities in different territories of Chile. Relying on a long scholarly tradition on the emancipatory and transformative role of grassroot technologies, we reflect on the process of creating a catalogue of local technologies and the nature and role of these technologies as tools for climate action. Together with discussing the main methodological challenges involved in the process of cataloguing, we develop three theorical aspects that emerge from the technologies that were mapped: how local technologies involve communities taking a central in defining what is problematic in specific environmental problems; the different forms in which these technologies are valued; and the logics of combination, adaptation, and variation that underlie these technologies. Based on this, we propose approaching local technologies, as a form of baroque tools that results from the situated assemblage and mixture of different logics, values, knowledge, and materialities. We finish discussing whether local technologies and the catalogue constitute a productive space to deploy more radical forms of climate action.

El presente artículo presenta una visión panorámica de los estudios sociales de la energía a la vez que introduce los artículos del monográfico. Se comienza presentando las razones que explican la progresiva visibilidad de las temáticas energéticas en la sociología, aludiendo al desafío que impone el cambio climático y la creciente atención de las ciencias sociales hacia la dimensión material de la vida social. Se propone entender la energía como un objeto de estudio de carácter esencialmente socio técnico, esto es, como un fenómeno que exige una aproximación que dé cuenta de los aspectos materiales, técnicos, sociales y culturales que lo constituyen. El artículo presenta luego diferentes áreas de investigación relevantes para el debate sociológico sobre la intersección entre energía y sociedad y su relación con las contribuciones al monográfico. Los estudios que se presentan no sólo tienen interés para la comunidad académica del área de la sociología, sino que pueden ser de utilida...

This article describes how value is defined, mobilized, and assessed in green circular economy startups. Drawing on recent debates about value and valuation in economic life and the empirical evidence collected from 30 interviews with green entrepreneurs, we focus on unpacking the value narratives developed in circular economy business settings. More specifically, we show how value is organized around the “win-win formula” a narrative plot in which economic and environmental gains reinforce each other. We highlight several key elements that organize this win-win plot: First, business opportunity and business models work as critical discursive elements. Second, we describe how clients and investors are the main conferrers of value. Third, we show how economic survival works as the ultimate evaluative framework of a company's worth. We conclude by asserting that circular economy narratives of value are underpinned by a mostly economic mode of valuing that prevail over environmental considerations.

Este artículo ofrece una reflexión sobre el rol de la sociología y otras disciplinas afines en la imaginación y diseño de futuros alternativos deseables. En primer lugar, se analiza la relación entre las ciencias sociales y la actividad de pensar futuros deseables, constatando el predominio de la economía y la relativa invisibilidad de formas de pensamiento sociológico en esta tarea. Luego de examinar las limitaciones de la economía como marco principal para pensar alternativas deseables, se propone la necesidad de desarrollar una implicación más activa de las ciencias sociales, en particular de la sociología, en la tarea de pensar alternativas de futuro, esfuerzo conectado con una larga tradición de pensamiento sociológico. En segundo lugar, se identifican y describen dos modalidades principales a partir de las cuales la sociología ha abordado alternativas de futuro deseables, examinando sus posibilidades y límites. Una primera modalidad, de carácter principalmente discursivo, se ha centrado en la creación de discursos epocales de transformación social anclados en diagnósticos y propuestas normativas de futuro. Denominamos a esta primera versión modalidades declarativas de futuro. Una segunda modalidad, de carácter empírico y situado, se ha concentrado en estudiar formas de experimentación colectiva que encarnan empíricamente alternativas de futuro y/o en desarrollar metodologías para este fin. Denominamos a esta segunda versión, modalidades prefigurativas de futuro. En tercer lugar, y en base al análisis previo el articulo propone tres caminos como ejes para potenciar una sociología de las alternativas: abordar el problema de la escala, en particular la tensión entre lo universal y lo múltiple en las propuestas de futuro; la relación entre estas propuestas y el mundo de las instituciones, en particular su relación con el estado; y, el rol central de las infraestructuras como medios para encarnar y movilizar alternativas de futuro deseable.

Abstract.
This article offers a theoretical reflection on how sociology and other related social sciences can contribute to imagine and mobilize desirable alternative futures. The argument is organized as follows. Firstly, I explore the relationship between social sciences and the tasks of imagining and designing alternatives futures. We highlight the actual predominance of economics and the invisibility of other forms of social as critical tools for thinking desirable futures. After highlighting of economic thinking for proposing alternatives futures, we argue that a more active involvement of social sciences, particularly sociology, is needed. By engaging in this task, sociology is also connecting to a long tradition of sociological thought about alternatives. In the second part of the paper, we identify two modalities from which sociology has approached the problem of alternative futures. We do so by examining their possibilities and limits. A first modality focus on the production of epochal discourses of social change and often combines a sociological diagnosis with a set of normative frameworks that define a desirable future. We call this first version declarative modalities of the future. A second modality has focus mainly on studying empirical forms of collective experimentation that embody alternatives for the future and/or on developing methodologies for fostering concrete alternatives. We label this second version pre-figurative modalities of the future. In the last part of the paper, and based on the previous analysis, we proposes three critical paths to further encourage a sociology of alternatives, namely: addressing the problem of scale, in particular the tension between the universal and the multiple as constitute elements of any proposed alternative; second, considering the world of institutions, the state in particular, as critical spaces trough which alternatives can be materialized, and third, the central role of infrastructures as a tools to embody and mobilize alternatives for a desirable futures.

While there has been an increasing interest in exploring the features and possibilities of off-grid photovoltaic projects, less attention has been given to the infrastructural and sociomaterial arrangements through which these types of bottom-up energy projects are organized. Following a long-term scholarly interest in energy infrastructures and their role in enabling material forms of politics, this article analyses how different of the processes of designing, installing, and using photovoltaic energy infrastructures co-produces different forms of energy ecologies and specific forms of local energy publics. In doing so, we seek to advance an empirical and theoretical understanding of the links between off-grid energy infrastructures and the politics and governances of such type of low carbon transitions. The argument is empirically unfolded by unpacking the installation and early operation of two recent off-grid photovoltaic (PV) energy projects in rural areas in Chile. We focus on describing how the design, installation, and use of these infrastructures involves producing specific energy ecologies as well as the organization of local energy publics. In this sense, we suggest that by attending to these processes, we might help to unveil the different kinds of material politics taking place in off-grid PV projects. We focus on the potentially higher forms of plasticity ingrained in these types of off-grid energy infrastructures, which result in varied forms of materializing energy use and in distributing the agencies of the different actors involved.

This article focusses on describing the different domestic and non-domestic practices and infrastructures through which heating is organized in domestic settings. Based on recent scholar work interested on researching the interlinks between domestic heating use and non-domestic energy practices and infrastructures, it proposes to understand domestic heating as the practical outcome of existing heating ecologies defined as the dynamic interrelations of in-home and out-home heating infrastructures and practices. The argument is empirically unfolded with material from a 6-month ethnographic fieldwork of a heater replacement policy program in central and southern Chile. Relying on participant observation and follow up interviews, we describe the installation phase and establishment of new less polluting heaters, as well as how the installation of those new heaters problematizes and redefine preexisting heating ecologies comprising domestic and non-domestic practices and infrastructures linked to firewood heating. We focused on two specific aspects of this change which proved to be particularly relevant in terms of the adoption of the new heaters. Firstly, the change in the infrastructures and practices of fuel provision and, second, the change in the infrastructures and practices of maintenance and repair. We finish suggesting that further understand heating ecologies —their dynamic and change— could be a critical element in explaining the success or failure of low carbon domestic technological transitions and policy intervention.

This paper aims to reflect on some key issues linked to the production of digital objects in business settings. In doing so, it problematizes current social science scholarship, which emphasizes the analysis of digital data and analytics, reinforces the magnitude of its consequences and “data power”. The paper proposes making three corrective “movements” that might enrich our approaches to how databases and analytics are assembled in business settings. The first movement involves the problem of ethnographic access to data-making practices. We propose taking seriously the issue of fabricating an ethnographic encounter where the process of making digital objects is exposed. The second movement concerns the visibility and the type of politics taking place in data practices. We argue for the need to displace attention from data impacts and results to the myriad of mundane practices and devices through which these objects are assembled. The third movement we suggest requires a focus on examining error and failure as key aspects of the manufacturing of consumer databases. Each of these movements is illustrated by ethnographic vignettes from a 9-month ethnographic experiment which involved participating in the first stages of the manufacturing of an online financial retail company's consumer database.

Este artículo presenta una visión crítica de la Teoría de las Prácticas Sociales (TPS), etiqueta con el cual se agrupan aquellas teorías que definen las prácticas como el componente fundamental del mundo social. El articulo discute y presenta de modo sintético un conjunto de trabajos teóricos recientes asociados a esta teoría. A su vez, evalúa críticamente algunas de las posibilidades y limitaciones de la TPS. El articulo está organizado de la siguiente forma. En primer lugar, se discute algunos de los antecedentes teóricos y filosóficos de la TPS. Seguidamente se discute el concepto de practica y sus componentes y la compresión de las dinámicas de cambio que presenta esta teoría. Finalmente se ilustra la discusión anterior presentando las aplicaciones de esta teoría en el ámbito de la sociología del medioambiente y el consumo sustentable. El articulo termina discutiendo críticamente algunas de las debilidades y limitaciones de esta aproximación teórica.

Mainstream conceptualizations of ‘ethical consumption’ equate the notion with conscious, individual, market-mediated choices motivated by ethical or political aims that transcend ordinary concerns. Drawing on data from 32 focus groups conducted in Chile and Brazil on ethical consumption, this article discusses some of the limitations of this conceptualization. First, linking the findings to recent sociology and anthropology of consumption literature, we suggest that this conceptualization fails to capture how ethics and consumption are linked in everyday life. Second, we argue that a largest part of ‘ethical outcomes’ (as defined by ethical consumption movements) in these countries are in fact results of practices following ordinary ethical concerns, which are incompatible with the basic tenets of the standard definition of ethical consumption. Therefore the article proposes a conceptualization of ethical consumption that does not centre on individual, market-mediated choices but understands ethical consumption at the level of practical outcomes, which we will refer to different types of ‘ethical living’. We illustrate these points by describing one particular ordinary moral regime that seemed to be predominant in participants’ account of ethics and consumption in both countries: one that links consumption and ethics through care. We describe how, while leading to ‘ethical outcomes’, such as energy saving or limiting overconsumption, these consumption ethics seldom rely on the mainstream view of ethical consumption as related to a politicized choice expressed through markets. Instead, they produce ‘ethical outcomes’ through following ordinary ethics and combatting, rather than embracing individual, market-mediated choices. In this context, we argue, ‘ethical consumption’ as a discourse might be inadvertently contributing to the erosion of practices leading to ‘ethical outcomes’, through reinforcing the discourse of market-based, individual choice.

Abstract: Social studies of finance can be split in two types: studies that have paid attention to “market devices” (such as scorings and credit cards) enacted by financial firms and studies that analyze new practices and modes of “ordinary calculation” developed by consumers of financial services around the world. This article is part of a broader project that aims at opening a different path that locates social studies of
domestic finances at the intersection where both kinds of calculation – the big data of market devices and the small data of ordinary financial practices- can be simultaneously observed. More specifically, this article discusses some of the methodological challenges faced from this new position, particularly, how we used some of the traces left by big data and how we dealt with an surprising “commercial circuit” founded in our material.

This chapter focuses on exploring the different knowledge practices and devices mobilized during the production of creative concepts in advertising campaigns. More concretely, I examine a particular device of creative work, namely “references” -usually images, videos, advertisements, web pages or other entities used in creative processes. In doing so, I describe advertising references as a particular type of inscription device used to make visible, and mobilize, the qualities of creative ideas. Furthermore, I propose understanding references as a particular valuation device through which creative worth is assessed and mobilized in advertising processes.

En este ensayo bibliográfico se examinan distintos clivajes a partir de las cuales se han pensado sociológicamente la relación entre consumo y clases medias. Concretamente, el articulo discute tres clivajes, a saber: a) la versión en la cual el consumo y las clases medias se entienden y movilizan como símbolos y resultados de un proceso de modernización capitalista y b) la versión en la cual el consumo se entiende principalmente en términos de la producción de distinciones simbólicas a partir de la cual distintas fracciones de la clase media producen sus identidades sociales y c) la versión en el cual el consumo puede ser pensado como un recurso, o mediación a partir del cual se produce y moviliza la clase media, tanto a nivel de las prácticas cotidianas de los actores como de las operaciones de clasificación y construcción de colectivos realizadas por los expertos. Vinculamos cada una de estas versiones a distintas tradiciones sociológicas, discutiendo sus supuestos, posibilidades y limitaciones. El artículo termina discutiendo de cómo estos tres clivajes descansan en distintas formas de concebir la naturaleza de lo social y que, por tanto, cada uno hace visible solo ciertos aspectos y conexiones entre consumo y clases medias.
This bibliographic essay examines different ways in which consumption and middle class been used and mobilized in sociological analysis. More concretely, the article discuss tree main approaches or versions in regards to consumption and middle class. First, a) the version in which consumption and middle class are both understood as the outcome and dependent on a process of capitalist modernization. Second, b) the version in which consumption is understood mainly in terms of the operation of producing symbolic distinction among middle class fractions, thus is a key resource in the production of identities. Third, c) the version in which consumption is understood as a resource o mediation trough which middle class is being assembled and mobilized by actors either at their ordinary practices and/or through different experts knowledge and devices that perform social collectives such as class. We link each of these versions to different sociological traditions discussing their presumptions, possibilities and limitations. The article finishes discussing how these tree visions relate to different ways of understanding and defining the social, thus making visible only some specific aspect of the relation between both concepts.

By exploring how ethical consumption is interpreted in Chile and Brazil, this paper provides rich empirical material in order to consider ethical consumption discourses and practices outside the global North. The paper empirically address these issues by presenting and analyzing a range of discourses related to ethical consumption in Chile and Brazil, drawing from data generated from 32 in-depth focus groups (179 participants in total) in both countries. The paper argues that ethical consumption discourses are constructed differently in these countries at varying scales and contexts. More concretely, we describe how ethical consumption in Chile and Brazil is intertwined with at least two different scales or contexts, namely first, the lordinary ethics of consumption and second a more global scale of environmental problems and global justice. In doing so, the paper for the need of problematizing the concept of ethical consumption by taking time to examine the argumentations people present regarding the everyday links between consumption and morality. It also ask to problematize the often taked for granted boundaries between north and south as well as between national contexts.

ABSTRACT How much and which goods are acceptable to consume? Who should be entitled to more and on what basis? These questions have been raised throughout history with answers varying widely across time and space. They were at the centre of concerns over luxury in Ancient Greece and continue to inform modern debates on the environmental effects of consumption. At the same time they have also been subject to mundane discussions conducted around the dinner table about how much the family should save, what kind of wedding would be appropriate, and whether or not family members in torn jeans are acceptable at the dinner table at all. What are consumption norms about, how do they develop and why do they change? This book addresses these questions, by bringing together sociological, historical, anthropological and economic studies on consumption.
