Structural review of empirical chapters 4 and 5
Review of empirical chapters #3X7JKL (ch. 4) and #F2943E (ch. 5) against theoretical framework #W8HHQV
CHAPTER 4 — structural issues:
Competencies of Circulation cluster in 4.2.2 is half-prose, half-list and reads as drafting scaffolding: #JXSMQW (just heading), #YNMVCK (broken), #D33QL7 (raw fieldnote), then bullet-style paragraphs #VG295X #9LRKLZ #GWTLZ7 #JH9JK9 #UBWP9G #Q2A66G #7AQN26 Either turn into 2–3 prose paragraphs or move into 4.3 where competencies of “not acquiring wrongly” overlap with competencies of letting go.
4.3 has parallel “self-management work” subcluster #MPQ4JQ #FJ79YF #8ZPRYC #UYL6TZ #VBVVXQ #5JJ4KK #KWQ7AQ #U575JS #Z22MHT #JV33M5 that duplicates the same theme. Consolidate.
4.5 restates Smith & Jehlička twice #VQARCF and #NVL4HP keep #NVL4HP reduce #VQARCF to transition. Note paragraphs in 4.5 still need drafting or cutting: #UXQTEY #T9XJDZ #B3S7DW #B4P2SJ
Larsen on reversal of economic logic #TVPES3 is stranded; move into 4.2.1 alongside #T7BS4V
CHAPTER 4 — theoretical connections to add:
Welch et al. (2020) / Askholm (2024) on reflexive 2nd-gen practice theory (already set up in #6VBDKY perfect for 4.5 quiet vs reflected sustainability.
Nicolini (2017) on practice bundles/complexes #RDZMW6 use it explicitly when introducing the chapter — Brīvbode IS a bundle site.
Gregson (2007) on divestment as ordering work: pull the richer version (chapter 2 #5M9UV4 forward to opening of 4.1.
CHAPTER 5 — structural issues:
Wheeler & Glucksmann’s three-dimension framework is announced #DKNKM6 but only Modal (5.3) and Processual (5.4) get section headings. Section 5.2 “Valuation work without the context of price” IS the technical labour section in disguise — rename it to make the framework visible.
5.1 (sufficiency lifestyle) sits outside the three-dimension scheme. Either explicitly frame as structural precondition, or integrate into modal labour.
Conclusion is a mess: #GGGPNV nested wrongly under 5.4 with good paragraphs #8JXBYH and #T5LNZ9 Below them duplicate conclusions #WQCQ9A #ENZMT5 #JJA5J6 say the same thing. Orphan notes #ANCRJA #YNFMZ5 #H77SJA #MC4GH7 #QJNPTQ #GDAK2E need integrating into body or cutting. Promote #GGGPNV to top-level 5.5; delete duplicates.
Aiga “thirty trips” passage in #DGLFX7 should open the logistics-node discussion, not close it.
CHAPTER 5 — theoretical connections to add:
Reno (2016) on women as moral agents (set up in chapter 2 #U9VL8L — connects to Aiga’s “inner feeling” that won’t let her throw out.
Lindsay et al. (2024) and Organo et al. (2013) on sustainability labour absorbed into gendered domestic work #9NPNTZ flagged as needing checking) — for #LQTPNH (Kristīne and daughters) and #T5LNZ9
Beswick-Parsons et al. (2025) decanting/stock management/recirculating vocabulary — name in 5.2.
