Organisational Flexibility: Core Business, Interdependence and the Timing of Energy Demand
Discussions of flexibility in organisations generally focus on labour relations, corporate agility, and long-term survival.

By contrast, we argue that capacities to adapt depend on interpretations of ‘core business’ which is defined by …
What do cars do when they are parked? Material objects and infrastructuring in social practices
The paper problematises current conceptualisations of objects in social practices by investigating car parking, using original research material. Motionless cars are not only ‘leftovers’ of driving – they actively perform parking while waiting for their users to start driving again. They infrastructure everyday im|mobility and play a part in shaping urban environments. Two modalities of social practice are discerned and described to account for t…
How to park a car? Immobility and the temporal organization of parking practices
The article explores the temporal organisation of social practices by using the example of car parking in cities.

In so doing, it shows the emergence of normativity in car p…

Our analysis traces transformations under Schengen in relation to Boltanski's concepts of uncertainty, justification and tests. We investigate ordinary …
