The moral economy of DIY: Practices of making things oneself and socio-economic orders in modern consumer societies
Original language description
The presentation (by PD Dr. Reinhild Kreis) and the discussion (opened and led by the discussant, Dr. Karel Šima) focuses on the often neglected “no-man’s land” between markets and households, production and consumption. Whereas historians of modern consumer societies have established a narrative according to which formerly self-sufficient households increasingly became consumers of ready-made goods and services, Dr. Kreis presents a different story. To a large degree, modern consumer societies really are “prosumer” societies in which households combine their own labor, skills and time (production) with what they purchase on the market (consumption) to fabricate a diverse range of products,nbe it a cake, a sweater, or a new shoe rack. How production and consumption should be combined in the provisioning of households, however, is highly controversial. It is exactly the flexibility of options in the field of “prosumption” that makes it a battleground for conflicting ideas about social and economic orders.n
