The project applies qualitative and empirical methods to various practices of the sharing economy to examine whether new forms of ownership and alternative concepts alter the understanding of things, society and ourselves.

Assuming a hybrid field with ‘old’ and ‘new’ practices and following a sociology of our relationship to the world, the researchers aim to determine the transformational and reproductive potential inherent to forms of and alternatives to ownership.
