In fact, if we take food production and consumption as arbitrary example, the energy necessary to fulfill our nutritious needs is outweighed by the energy which is used in order to provide variation, convenience and aesthetic experiences. text/html 2007-10-13T16:57:53-05:00 http://www.kultwiki.net/dacs/doku.php/cases?rev=1192312673 The main empirical work consists of four work packages: * A warm bathroom? Changing energy use in houses. Here we investigate the relation between energy standards and aestheticization in the house with a focus on how the bathroom has changed to a “high-energy” room. How are the material constituencies and consumer logics involved in this change expressed? This will be done as a part of a study of historical developments in how processes of aestheticization are expressed. * Educating… text/html 2007-09-18T16:25:07-05:00 http://www.kultwiki.net/dacs/doku.php/ephemeralia?rev=1190150707 Not everything is at the core of a research project's interest. Nevertheless, there are always some topics of interest, which somehow belong to the project, if only because the researchers are personally interested in them. Here are some of these more ephemeral themes: text/html 2007-09-18T07:04:42-05:00 http://www.kultwiki.net/dacs/doku.php/lesestoff?rev=1190117082 text/html 2008-02-14T08:20:55-05:00 http://www.kultwiki.net/dacs/doku.php/links?rev=1202998855 English material * Coming soon...

Do people in Norway and elsewhere have to abandon their little pleasures in order to save the world? Can a warm shower every day really be a sin? Is the trip to the cottage which only can be reached by car morally defendable? When will I be allowed to throw out my old sofa and buy a new one? text/html 2007-09-18T17:02:44-05:00 http://www.kultwiki.net/dacs/doku.php/test?rev=1190152964 <- tasks Do a test text/html 2007-09-24T04:56:39-05:00 http://www.kultwiki.net/dacs/doku.php/texts?rev=1190627799 * A primer: Based on the project application, a general introduction to DACS.
