Abstract

This article examines the recent dynamics of structuring the reuse sector in France, focusing on solidarity-based reuse as a meso critical space (Lamarche, 2023; Bodet et Lamarche, 2020). It shows how this space is constructed and stabilized through the collective action of historical actors, in particular through the creation of a coalition, the Union for Solidarity-Based Reuse (URS). To do so, the article draws on Andy Smith's (2019) framework of political work to show how this space is shaped through the activities of problematization, instrumentation, and legitimization undertaken by actors in the solidarity-based reuse sector. In the face of increasing competition within the sector, these activities aim to safeguard it by establishing boundaries and a shared identity.
