Abstract

This chapter is concerned with place-making at work, with particular attention to the role of rhythm. It discusses how certain workspaces come into being as places and what kinds of workplaces are produced. The analysis draws on Henri Lefebvre’s (2004) ideas of rhythm and rhythmanalysis as a conceptual and methodological means for tracing how work and workplaces take shape in space and time combined with Edward Casey’s (2001) formulation of places as ‘thick’ and ‘thin’. The chapter is based on empirical material collected through an audio-visual ethnography of London’s Billingsgate fish market.
