Everyday life is today characterised by endless choices, paradoxes and dilemmas, especially concerning sustainability and mobilities. This thesis studies different ways of handling everyday life in late modernity to understand where cracks of sustainability in everyday life might appear. We develop four different condensations of stories about everyday life handlings, which we term Everyday Handlings. Everyday Handlings is a concept, which can be used as a methodological tool to understand the differentiated ways that individuals explain their handlings of everyday life in late modernity. The theoretical starting point for this thesis is presented through the mobilities paradigm and a sustainability paradigm. We understand mobilities as fundamental for everyday life and social activities in late modernity and therefore that social sciences must understand the importance of mobilities to understand societies. The question of sustainability is more present than ever and we argue that sustainability must be part of social sciences because of the consequences of human behaviour such as climate changes. Through qualitative interviews with nine members of two organisations based on sharing economies, LetsGo and The Bicycle Library, we gain insight to the choices, dilemmas and paradoxes the interviewees experience on a daily basis and into their views on sustainability and mobilities and how they think about this in everyday life. We use the four condensations to understand the different ways these individuals handle the complexity of everyday life and the dilemmas concerning sustainability and mobilities. Furthermore, we discuss how economy and new forms of politics and communities of sharing economy can be seen as cracks of sustainability in everyday life. Through these stories of everyday life we find that individuals handle the specific problems they encounter in everyday life before the abstract or global problems such as climate change. On this basis we conclude that it is necessary to gain insight to the different arguments and stories individuals tell to find solutions that meet the challenges in everyday life. |
