Fieldwork mapped to Evans's six moments of consumption

Mapping fieldwork excerpts to the Evans (2020) / Warde (2005) framework cited in the thesis intro paragraph on practice-theoretical consumption.

Acquisition: Valentīna #WA2NE4 (joy of taking for free); Alise #RXQFG7 (browsing as curiosity about others’ lives).

Appropriation: Alise #U9KVGX (curatorial recontextualisation of unwanted items); Linards #GYVN6Y (keeping old papers until they find an admirer).

Appreciation: Zane R. #MCDPPG — strongest single passage; worn boots talked to “like a living person”, ten years of shared life. Linards #S6GSDT (Green Tara figurine).

Devaluation: fieldnote #PSVEWM / #RGDX3B (value drops the moment new things reach her); Agnese Z. #CEFJRX (labour of re-valuation via photographing/listing).

Divestment: Ita #E8LWS6 (pieķeršanās as a process being worked through); Līga #DT4W43 (rational shedding of 20/25 blouses, no discomfort); Linards #S6GSDT (decisiveness as a trainable skill).

Disposal: Mikael #X82Y9V (secret trash-box when home alone); Mikael #F58RAZ (paranoia about recycling as outsourced disposal); fieldnote #8YEXY4 (“energy use for storage — including mental energy”).

Attachment / detachment (Evans’s simplified pair): Mikael #5HKT3V (the “risk of care”); Agnese Z. #TXJAKV (time capsules as contained attachment); fieldnote #PSVEWM (Brīvbode itself as an ethical detachment infrastructure — best single line for arguing the swapshop is a device for managing detachment).

Most original contribution potential: divestment + detachment cluster, because Brīvbode is precisely an institutionalised detachment apparatus. Mikael’s “risk of care” + the fieldnote’s “ethically free myself from responsibility” together suggest that what the swapshop offers is not just material throughput but a moral technology for attenuating attachment.
