在英国，大多数家庭都有冰箱，按照大多数标准，可以公平地说，家庭冷冻和冷冻食品供应在大约20年前或更久以前就达到了社会技术“关闭”。相比之下，对人们实际上如何与冰箱生活在一起的详细研究表明，相关的消费做法和过程是多种多样的，不稳定的，并且会发生变化。对40户家庭代表的采访提供了新的见解，使人们对日常生活中的话语、物质和时间方面凝聚在冰箱周围的方式有了新的认识。在分析这些经验时，我们认为，冷冻是持续不断的动态，因为冰箱数字作为一个协调节点周围的多个方面的消费和供应收敛。我们展示了如何与冰箱的不同生活方式的谈判和维护，我们讨论了家庭做法和系统之间的关系，他们相交。我们建议，像那些“驯化”和“家庭”的概念，“规范化”未能捕捉到物质对象在日常生活中的持续动态状态，或它们在社会秩序体系中的构成作用。作为回应，我们主张将“正常化”作为一项持续的成就进行分析，并将冻结解释为一个令人惊讶的表演过程，涉及材料，意识形态和技能的积极整合。
In the UK, the majority of households have a freezer and by most criteria it would be fair to say that home freezing and frozen food provisioning reached sociotechnical ‘closure’ some 20 years ago or more. Detailed examination of how people actually live with freezers suggests, by contrast, that associated consumption practices and processes are varied, unstable and subject to change. Interviews with representatives of 40 households provide new insight into the ways in which discursive, material and temporal aspects of daily life condense around the freezer. In analysing these experiences, we suggest that freezing is persistently dynamic because the freezer figures as an orchestrating node around which multiple aspects of consumption and provision converge.We show how different ways of living with a freezer are negotiated and maintained and we discuss the relation between household practices and the systems of provision with which they intersect.We suggest that concepts like those of ‘domestication’ and ‘normalization’ fail to capture the persistently dynamic status of material objects in daily life, or their constitutive role in systems of social order. In response, we argue for an analysis of ‘normalization’ as an ongoing achievement, and for an interpretation of freezing as a surprisingly performative process involving the active integration of materials, ideologies and skills.
