本文提出了对南非当前道德标签商品倡议的重要参与,从而对先前优先考虑全球北方的道德消费文献进行了干预。通过西开普省焦点小组支持的基于访谈的方法,本文特别关注塑造南非企业和民间社会近期道德消费形式的战略。对与南非三个最著名的道德标签倡议(Proudly South African、Fairtrade Label South Africa 和南部非洲可持续海鲜倡议 (SASSI))相关的活动和战略进行了评估。 Barnett等人(2011:90)的“动员道德消费者”概念与有关当地嵌入性的道德消费文献进行对话,以评估负责这些举措的组织将全球化商业和政治责任网络与南非当地机构和价值观相结合的方式。不断壮大的南非“中产阶级”的话语建构所发挥的作用也被认为是鼓励这些参与者道德消费过程的一部分。总之,与其他地方一样,要理解南非的道德消费,需要对全球化责任的跨国网络和道德消费的本地化表达保持敏感。
This paper presents a critical engagement with current initiatives for ethically-labeled goods in South Africa, thus offering an intervention in a literature on ethical consumption that has previously prioritized the global North. Through an interview-based methodology supported by focus groups in the Western Cape, the paper attends specifically to the strategies shaping recent forms of ethical consumption in South Africa on the part of business and civil society. Campaigns and strategies associated with three of the most prominent ethical labeling initiatives in South Africa—Proudly South African, Fairtrade Label South Africa and the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI)—are evaluated. Barnett et al.’s (2011: 90) notion of “mobilizing the ethical consumer” is brought into conversation with ethical consumption literature on local embeddedness in order to assess the ways in which the organizations responsible for these initiatives combine globalizing business and political networks of responsibility with local institutions and values in South Africa. The role played by the discursive construction of a growing South African ‘middle class’ is also acknowledged as part of the process of encouraging ethical consumption on the part of these actors. In conclusion, it is suggested that understanding ethical consumption in South Africa, as elsewhere, requires sensitivity tobothtransnational networks of globalizing responsibilityandlocalized expressions of ethical consumption.
