”(Re)Creating Ecological Action Space” by Karin Skill, 2008

This ethnographic account of ”Housholders Activities for Sustainable Development in Sweden” is a rich, thick description of citizens daily negotiation between structure and agency. This negotiation is consisting of an ever-going attempt to conjoin the dominant discourses of sustainable development as they are expressed mainly through the sets of rules, norms and regulations as well as options available to pursue the practices of what is considered to be ‘environmentaly conscious cittizens’ with the actual everyday ‘enactment’ that Swedes undertake in the name of the ecological environment.

Once again, most of those things that matters when it comes to understanding the meaning of being human seem to be bound to pass us by if we don’t engage in extensive and thorrough, close-up inquiring – curiously asking questions and devotingly searching for the answers.
The outcome of current, and ever growing, global environmental crisis is depending on the shape of our ‘ecological action space’. Our ‘ecological action space’ in turn is depending on how well we understand ourselves. Ethnography doesn’t offer explanations but brings us closer to understanding – the understanding that means everything.

Keep the height!
