Urban density meets rhythmanalysis: Theorising lived density in the city
Urban density is increasingly on the agenda of urban geographical research where urbanists have in particular foregrounded the political dimension of ever-increasing densification of cities around the world. This article shifts the analytical focus away from structural considerations of politics and density and instead asks: how can we theorise people’s lived experiences with urban density? In this article, the notion of “lived density” is develo…
Everyday Life Within Precarious Working Conditions: A Conceptual Home for the Practical, Subjective and Emotional Actions of Precariousness
The visceral, experiential and productive doing of precariousness is currently scattered without a conceptual home. Extended and qualitative accounts of precariousness describe practical, subjective and emotional actions of living with vulnerability that are not extraordinary but make‐up everyday precarity. However, the precarity conceptual family is divided between either structural or differential vulnerability, leaving little room for the ongo…
Rhythms, dressage and pacemaking in South Side Chicago: Examining the construction site of the Obama Presidential Center
This article examines the effects of a major civil project, the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park on Chicago's South Side, on the everyday rhythms of this part of the city.In particular, we examine the construction site of this center and its impact on the production of rhythms.We focus on the notion of "dressage" in Lefebvre's Rhythmanalysis, suggesting a critical reading of this notion through the theory of pacemaker.Theorizing the inte…
Positioning precarity: The contingent nature of precarious work in structure and practice
Conceptualising precarity has come to rest on the multi-dimensional and differentiated insecurities of job and worker, this however belies the relationship between structure and experience where precarity originates. To bridge that relationship, I employ the landscape concept to position workers relative to the structural contingency of precarious work. To study this landscape, I conducted an ethnography involving job searching, working, and inte…

Negotiating the global–urban: Consumer flows in two Hong Kong retail sites
This paper draws on ethnographic data to investigate consumer flow in two retail sites and the urban territories that exist through them. The nature of urbanization is an integral and evolving factor in the everyday life of city-dwellers; however, the local forms of global–urban space remains opaque. This paper employs a flow and territory approach to analyse global retail culture in two local settings: a shopping mall and a flea market. While ea…
Unfamiliar rhythms and the micro-politics of late-modernity: An ethnography of global Hong Kong
This article explores connection or disjuncture between everyday life and global culture. Efforts to de-essentialise or pluralise urban globalisation have focused on local negotiations of discourse or the macro effects of the world city, here rhythmanalysis is used to bridge these approaches. The analysis develops on the tension between the theoretically-based multiplicity and reflexivity of late-modernity, and the structured reality that has bee…
Negotiating mobile identity in the global nightscape
Transnational and migrant identities have traditionally been theorised around axes of identity such as ethnicity or labour position; drawing on the mobilities paradigm and social geography, I discuss how representations of movement transform identity and life in the destination. This approach puts mobility at the core of transnational studies and elaborates on perspectives of space that span place to mobility. To investigate this, I conducted an …
The middling mobile: Finding Place in the Liquid City
The middling mobile, differentiated by their modest and unsure mobility, are a vast of bulk of people who intend or expect to move on. As they travel, they tread differing intensities of rhythm and social embeddedness felt to be chaotic, constraining, liberating, or comforting. Owing to their aspirations to ‘get out’ of a rhythmic life, or to move somewhere familiar, the middling mobile use movement and rootedness to navigate and manage everyday …
