“…CCT explores the noneconomic aspects of consumption, such as interaction, engagement, and consumer satisfaction (Kolyperas & Sparks, 2018); and, more broadly, the wider social, cultural, and political contexts and patterns of consumption (O'Sullivan, 2009;Sinclair, 2016). It also provides the theoretical frameworks to analyze how consumers identify themselves with a culture and community, the underlying values in consumption and the respective implications for producers and marketers.…”

In the last decades, the focus of studies on consumer behavior has changed from the individual to the group. Classical theories based on economic utility are insufficient to understand this phenomenon. Therefore, a new theoretical and postmodern approach seems necessary. Despite the increasing popularity of consumption communities, the investigation in the field is still dispersed. This study represents one first attempt to synthesize findings on the topic, in light of the consumer culture theory (CCT) tradition. CCT provides a useful framework to understand the social, cultural, experiential, and symbolic aspects of consumption. In this paper, we perform a systematic literature review on consumption communities. We also suggest an agenda for future research on the topic, consisting of its emerging themes and a set of propositions of study.

“…The dichotomy between micro-and macro-contexts in consumption is also assessed by Sinclair (2016) with figurational theory as a moderator. Thompson and Coskuner-Balli (2007) explore how political ideologies influence the alignment of actions and perceptions by CSA farmers and consumers.…”

“…The first author did struggle to become entirely detached from the experiences of the ETP, although a conscious effort was made to remain detached throughout the data analysis process. Indeed, Elias himself maintained that the involvement-detachment dynamic was a balance and that a fully detached position was impossible (Sinclair, 2016).…”

Sociocultural constraints and the athlete-environment relationship in a form of life

From the theoretical perspective of ecological dynamics, skilful behaviour in performance contexts like sport and education is predicted on the establishment of a functional relationship between an individual and the environment. The strength of this relationship is shaped over time by the everyday values, beliefs, traditions, customs, and behaviours (sociocultural practices) within a specific organisation. A conceptualisation of these sociocultural practices is a form of life, which illustrates the relational and situated nature of the contexts within which skilful behaviour emerges under social, political, cultural, and historical constraints. It is important to identify these influential sociocultural and historical practices that emerge, exist and shape practices in sport cultures and organisations. However, little is known from an ecological realism perspective how these practices affect athlete support systems, pedagogical practices, talent development programmes and an athlete’s engagement with affordances to develop a tightly knit athlete-environment relationship. To provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between a form of life and skilful athlete behaviour this thesis adopts qualitative research designs and integrates ideas from a range of scientific sub-disciplines. More specifically, data from the experiential knowledge of practitioners and observations of practice programmes and contexts in a team sport are analysed through the theoretical tenets of James Gibson’s ecological psychology. In adopting these research methods, the sociocultural practices of a British rugby league football academy are identified and interpreted to understand how they might shape an athlete’s engagement with affordances in learning and development landscapes. Results from the studies of this thesis suggest that forms of life are categorised by the complex interactions between many subsystems, where masculine, and disciplined behaviours were categorised as the dominant sociocultural pressures to constrain key actors into ignoring the potential for athletes’ self-organisation tendencies, and inhibited individuals’ capacities to respond to opportunities in the micro-structure of practice. Finally, to advance our understanding of the practical situations in which athletes become responsive to opportunities for skilful engagement with affordances, an integrative framework is presented to unpack the situated and embedded notions of skilful athlete behaviour.
