The Not So Simple Life: Naturecultures of Voluntary Simplicity
In this paper we use Haraway’s (1991) concept of natureculture to broadly explore one aspect of anti-consumption, voluntary simplicity, in the context of urban stock-keeping. We explore how nature is mobilised as a shifting resource among those adopting a voluntary simplified lifestyle for the home production of eggs.
