Drunken Mobilities: Backpackers, Alcohol, 'Doing Place', Mark Jayne, Chris Gibson, Gordon Waitt, Gill Valentine
Chris Gibson
This article seeks to advance the understanding of the role of alcohol, drinking and drunkenness as an important, if under-researched, element of tourism. In so doing, we work at the intersection of three bodies of writing focused on mundane mobilities; performativities of tourism and geographies of alcohol, drinking and drunkenness. Drawing on empirical research undertaken in Australia, we highlight how alcohol, drinking and drunkenness are key to backpacking holidays: first, to help soften a number of (un)comfortable embodied and emotional materialities associated with budget travel; second, as an aid to spatial and temporal imperatives of ‘passing the time’ and ‘being …
Blue-Collar Creativity: Reframing Custom-Car Culture In The Imperilled Industrial City, Andrew Warren, Chris Gibson
Blue-Collar Creativity: Reframing Custom-Car Culture In The Imperilled Industrial City, Andrew Warren, Chris Gibson
Chris Gibson
This paper hitches a ride with young car enthusiasts to explore how their vehicles catalyse a unique form of vernacular creativity, in a seemingly imperilled industrial city setting.While television and print media regularly demonise young drivers for street racing and `hoon' behaviour, this paper purposely adopts a different perspective, on circuits of production and qualitative aspects of the urban custom-car design scene that constitute forms of vernacular creativity. Beyond moral panics little is known about movements, networks, and linkages between custom cars, young enthusiasts, and urban spaces from which their activities emerge. Utilising responsive, in-depth ethnographic methods in Wollongong, Australia, …

Sustainable Household Capability: Which Households Are Doing The Work Of Environmental Sustainability?, Gordon Waitt, Peter Caputi, Chris Gibson, Carol Farbotko, Lesley Head, Nick Gill, Elyse Stanes
Chris Gibson
This paper presents a framework for analysing which households are doing ‘their bit’ for sustainability in an era of climate change, using a two-stage cluster analysis of sustainable household capabilities. The framework segments households by their reported level of commitment to ‘pro-sustainability’ practices common to conventional government policies. Results are presented from a large-scale survey of Wollongong households, New South Wales, Australia. Results illustrate the importance of approaching household sustainability through everyday practices. Attention is drawn to the wide variation in participation in specific household sustainability practices. Investigation into sustainable household capability by household segments shows the limits of even …
