Abstract

Cette dissertation a pour but de comprendre lappropriation par les consommateurs dobjets ou lieux quils partagent. En nous basant sur les thories de lappropriation, de la consommation par laccs et du design, nous questionnons la dfinition, lmergence et la valeur perue de lappropriation en accs. Nous explorons les contextes de lautopartage et du coworking au travers de quatre articles. Nos rsultats mettent lemphase sur le rle des objets matriels dans la mise en pratique de lappropriation par les consommateurs. Nous dfinissons lappropriation du consommateur dans le cadre de laccs comme la cration de significations (valeur de signe, valeur de lien, bien-tre dans lusage) grce un ensemble routiniers de pratiques entre les consommateurs et les lments matriels de lactivit de consommation par laccs. This dissertation aims to understand consumer appropriation of objects and places shared with others. We draw from theories of appropriation, access-based consumption and design to question the definition, the value and the emergence of consumer appropriation in access. We explore the contexts of car sharing and coworking spaces through four research articles. Our findings highlight the role of material objects in the enactment of consumer appropriation practices. We define consumer appropriation as the creation of meanings (sign value, linking value, wellbeing in use) enacted through a routinized set of practices between the consumer and the material elements of the access-based activity.Advisors/Committee Members: Darpy, Denis (thesis director).
