  • Building the City: Everyday Lives of Migrant Workers

    Mark Jayne, Wu Siying et al.•BOOK•Building the City•2025•Cited by: 2

    Building the City elaborates new critical insights into the everyday lives of migrant workers in cities around the world. The book offers complementary blending of longstanding political-economic accounts of migration, gender, labour, and urban life alongside advances in feminist, postcolonial, post-structural, materialist, and more-than-representational theories. Drawing on these critical resources the authors explore the complexities of migrant…

  • Mundane urban (im)mobilities: Work, domestic, and family lives of migrant building workers in China

    Mark Jayne, Wu Siying et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2025•Cited by: 4•References: 121

    Interdisciplinary research from China has generated a wealth of quantitative and qualitative insights into trans-, national, regional, and local migration patterns over long and short distances through attention to diverse topics, socio-economic groups, and case-study locations. Our contribution in this paper is to advance recent critical work that is directing focus from rural-to-urban "circular movements" toward more complex spatialities and te…

  • Consumption, migration, and urban life

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, Wu Siying et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Consumer Culture•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 14

    Despite voluminous attention across the social sciences consumption, migration, and urban life remains under-theorised and -researched. In response we pursue critical opportunities afforded by pluralistic blending of relational ontologies elaborated through interrogation of empirical research focused on migrant building workers in China. In doing so we sketch new terrain for interdisciplinary debate via ethnographies of future-orientated consumpt…

  • Undoing man ual labour: The Performative Force of Female Building Workers

  • Towards new knowledge complexes for critical geographies of alcohol, drinking, drunkenness

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, G Valentine•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 4

    This response engages with the commentaries of Gordon Waitt, Anna De Jong, Samantha Wilkinson, Elen-Maarja Trell, Bettina van Hoven, and Harng Luh Sin on our challenge for geographers to work ‘beyond moralizing, disciplining, and normalizing discourses’. We show how, when read together, these authors articulate progressive geographic imaginations and repeat orthodoxies and impasses that constitute problematic academic, political, policy, and popu…

  • Traversing Precarity: The Socioeconomic Mobility of Female Migrant Building Workers in China

    Mark Jayne, Wu Siying et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of the American…•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 77

    This article is located at the nexus of three bodies of geographical research. First, we respond to calls for careful and considered engagement with conditions, subjectivities, and experiences of precarity. Second, we contribute to the small but critically rich literature exploring structural organization of building industries and the everyday lives of workers. Third, we offer new ontological and epistemological momentum for long-standing study …

  • Beyond moralising, disciplining and normalising discourses: Re-thinking geographies of alcohol, drinking, drunkenness

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, G Valentine•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 54

    Despite significant advances over the past few decades, geographies of alcohol, drinking, drunkenness remain under-theorised and researched. Indeed, even when applying critical thinking, geographers have tended to unreflexively reproduce, rather than question ‘alcohol studies’ ontologies and epistemologies infused with moralising, disciplining, and normalising discourses. In response, we present three intertwined research trajectories, informed b…

  • Building urban lives: Female migrant workers emotional counter-topographies in China

    Mark Jayne, Siying Wu et al.•ARTICLE•Eurasian Geography and Economics•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 45

    This paper develops new ontological and epistemological terrain to advance critical understanding of migrants' everyday lives in urban china. More specifically, we highlight the opportunities afforded by pluralist relational theoretical and comparative empirical interrogation of emotions across diverse work, domestic, family and leisure times/spaces both within and, beyond cities. To that end, we apply a counter-topographical approach to a kaleid…

  • People-watching and urban life: Toward a research agenda

    Open Access•Mark Jayne•ARTICLE•Geography Compass•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 25

    Taking inspiration from studies of 'seeing-and-being-seen' at the vanguard of intellectual debates regarding urban life since the late-eighteenth century, this paper explores the popular contemporary pastime of people-watching. Drawing on cumulative theoretical, empirical, and methodological resources generated by generations of critical urbanists I highlight the ways in which geographies of people-watching is a topic deserving of sustained acade…

  • At home' with alcohol: New insights into young people's domestic practices in China

    Chen Liu, Mark Jayne•ARTICLE•Social & Cultural Geography•2023•Cited by: 7•References: 60

    This article focuses on three types of domestic alcohol practices: drinking at home, accommodating alcohol products, and crafting alcohol drinks. It explores how Chinese young people associate their emotional, creative, and embodied experiences with domestic alcohol consumption and how the social and material space of home shapes their alcohol-related practices, drawing on a qualitative analysis. We argue that domestic alcohol practices shaped by…

  • Consuming the city: People-watching and dialectics of everyday urban life

    Open Access•Mark Jayne•ARTICLE•Journal of Consumer Culture•2022•Cited by: 7•References: 13

    Since being established at the vanguard of thinking about urban life during the late-eighteenth century, generations of theorists have opened-up sightlines, tackled blind-spots, and responded to challenges of theorizing and researching ‘seeing and being seen’. This paper contributes to that work by bringing into focus everyday experiences of people-watching. Drawing on auto-ethnographic/-biographic research from the UK, I sketch out the theoretic…

    Mark Jayne, Chen Liu et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2021•Cited by: 5•References: 29

    Against a backdrop where since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, there has been little political, policy, policing or popular resonances of alcohol, drinking, drunkenness as being problematic, this paper explores ambivalence toward strangers, avoidance of social mixing and sensitivity to integrational socio-spatial relations as key to understanding the lives of young people. Presenting ethnographic research from diverse…

  • Faith-based alcohol treatment in England and Wales: New evidence for policy and practice

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, Andrew D Williams et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Place•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 24

    While the historical importance of religion in alcohol treatment is well known, the size, scope and significance of contemporary activities remain unclear. Here we begin to address this gap in knowledge by presenting results from a mixed methods study of faith-based alcohol treatment in England and Wales. The paper begins by mapping location, religious affiliation, organisational structure and service provision. We then discuss evidence regarding…

    Geographers and urbanists focused on assemblages in the Global South have significantly advanced urban theory, investigating politics, policy, everyday practices of (in)formality-infrastructure, water, sanitation, housing, education, health-how (non)human actors, networks, practices, ideas, and learning constitute urban life. This article outlines new directions for this agenda, presenting research into comparative geographies of Live-in-Guardian…

  • City of Quarters: Urban Villages in the Contemporary City

    Mark Jayne, David Bell•BOOK•City of Quarters•2017•Cited by: 10

    In cities throughout the world, there is an increasingly ubiquitous presence of distinct social and spatial areas - urban villages, cultural and ethnic quarters. These spaces are sites where capital and culture intertwine in new ways. City of Quarters brings together some of the most prominent authors writing about urban villages to provide the first systematic and multi-disciplinary overview of this high-profile urban phenomenon. They address ke…

  • It makes you go crazy’: Children's knowledge and experience of alcohol consumption

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, G Valentine•ARTICLE•Journal of Consumer Culture•2015•Cited by: 1•References: 21

    This article contributes to a burgeoning body of writing focused on children and consumption with reference to critical writing around alcohol, drinking and drunkenness. Drawing on empirical research undertaken in the United Kingdom with families with at least one child aged 5–12 years, we show that despidte being uninterested in drinking themselves, children have a sophisticated understanding of alcohol and its effects. In doing so, we contribut…

  • Make, mend and befriend: Geographies of austerity, crafting and friendship in contemporary cultures of dressmaking in the UK

    Suzanne M Hall, Mark Jayne•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2015•Cited by: 23•References: 19

    Dressmaking is a practice infused with historical significance which in the contemporary context of austerity has renewed social, cultural, economic, political and moral importance. Drawing on writing from across the social sciences we advance a geographical understanding of dressmaking by focusing on the themes of feminism and crafting practices, austerity, fashion and consumption, and friendship and encounters in order to theorise the everyday …

  • Alcohol-related violence and disorder: New critical perspectives

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, G Valentine•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2014•Cited by: 10•References: 37

    This paper presents critical perspectives into alcohol-related violence and disorder. In doing so, we advance writing by geographers challenging ontological and epistemological orthodoxies which dominate ‘alcohol studies’. By engaging with work focused on playful or ludic urbanism, and literature considering emotions, embodiment and affect, we address an impasse between medical and social sciences approaches in order to better understand and tack…

  • Embodying C hinese urbanism: Towards a Research Agenda

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, Ho Hon Leung•ARTICLE•Area•2014•Cited by: 17•References: 28

    Despite increasing academic interest focused on C hinese cities, there has been relatively little sustained theoretical and empirical engagement with critical approaches that have enlivened urban geography over the past 30 years. In this paper we seek to advance this research agenda by focusing on embodied urban geographies. More specifically, we consider case studies of dance and massage in order to show how critical engagement with everyday soc…

  • The proximity effect: The role of the affective space of family life in shaping children's knowledge about alcohol and its social and health implications

    Open Access•G Valentine, Mark Jayne et al.•ARTICLE•Childhood•2014•Cited by: 3•References: 22

    Pre-teen children's knowledge and experience of alcohol has been the subject of relatively little research despite the fact that this is a critical time given that the average age for the onset of drinking in Europe is now 12. Indeed, children are commonly only addressed in national alcohol strategies as the responsibility of parents/families, rather than as an audience for such messages in their own right. Yet, it is important to take a cross-ge…

  • Ordinary Urbanism—Neither Trap Nor Tableaux: A Response to Richard G Smith

    Open Access•Mark Jayne•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2013

    This paper responds to Richard G Smith's review of ordinary city writing which he describes as ‘a trap for progressive international urbanism’. I focus on questioning how and why Smith develops his ‘critique of a critique’. More specifically, I consider the ways that Smith defines the boundaries of both the ordinary cities literature and the world/global cities writing that he pits against each other. Discussing genealogy and influence I offer a …

  • Small Cities? Towards a Research Agenda

    Open Access•David Bell, Mark Jayne•ARTICLE•International Journal of Urban…•2009•Cited by: 83•References: 32

    This article asserts the importance of studying small cities. We argue that small cities have been ignored by urban theorists who, in seeking to conceptualize broad urban agendas and depict generalizable models (for example relating to epochal urbanism, the structure and nature of the urban hierarchy, global cities and global city-regions), have tended to obscure as much as they illuminate. Given that study of 'the city' has been vital to broader…

    This paper develops dialogue between geographers’ engagement with emotion, embodiment and affect, and geographical research on alcohol, drinking and drunkenness. In doing so, we focus on the long-running ‘moral panic’ relating to alcohol-related violence, disorder and drunken behaviour in urban public space. We argue there has been an ontological and epistemological impasse in ‘alcohol studies’ between approaches that have considered the biologic…

  • Drunk and Disorderly: Alcohol, Urban Life and Public Space

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, L Holloway et al.•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2006•Cited by: 78•References: 11

    This paper shows that, despite receiving significant attention, the relationship between alcohol, drunkenness and public space has been undertheorized. We show that where drinking has been considered it has generally been as a peripheral concern of political-economy accounts that have sought to conceptualize the development of the modern city, or more recently the impact of global economic restructuring on urban life and public space. Moreover, s…

    Drinking in England is an issue of public and policy concern. The Government has focused on the city centre in pursuing its twin policy aims of urban regeneration and public order and health. This paper challenges the silences in such debate by focusing on the domestic drinking practices in two case‐study locations. Drawing on insights from wider geographies of home, the empirical sections of the paper explore domestic drinking as a widespread, s…

    This article seeks to advance the understanding of the role of alcohol, drinking and drunkenness as an important, if under-researched, element of tourism. In so doing, we work at the intersection of three bodies of writing focused on mundane mobilities; performativities of tourism and geographies of alcohol, drinking and drunkenness. Drawing on empirical research undertaken in Australia, we highlight how alcohol, drinking and drunkenness are key …

  • Fluid Boundaries—British Binge Drinking and European Civility: Alcohol and the Production and Consumption of Public Space

    Mark Jayne, G Valentine et al.•ARTICLE•Space and Polity•2008•Cited by: 24•References: 15

    During the past few years, debate surrounding depictions of a ‘British disease’ of binge drinking in contrast to civil European drinking cultures has been a central feature of popular and political debate in the UK. This paper investigates the ways in which these drinking categories have been constructed and identifies how they have become key elements in the production and consumption of public space. Empirical findings are presented from a city…

    This paper draws on original empirical work with the British Pakistani community to explore Muslim attitudes to alcohol and alcohol-related practices, before considering how the Pakistani Muslim community's culture of abstention shapes its members' access to, and use of, public space in the nighttime economy. We foreground the active role played by alcohol, as a nonhuman actor, in shaping emergent social relations by exploring its agency in gener…

  • Worlding a city: Twinning and urban theory

    Mark Jayne, P Hubbard et al.•ARTICLE•City•2011•Cited by: 18•References: 26

    Twinning is a practice that creates formal and informal political, economic, social and cultural relationships between cities throughout the world. Despite its prevalence there has been relatively little academic attention paid to twinning. Indeed, where writers have considered city twinning they have tended to describe local institutional structures and programmes of events rather than theorising the importance of twinning as a global practice. …

    In the context of new modernity, intimacy, theorized in terms of families as the embodied practices which mediate relationships between parents and children across the life course, has been reconceptualized.

Dissatisfaction with urban theory dominated by study of 'the city' defined in terms of a small number of 'global' cities has led theorists to consider what is lost as a consequence of this bias. Although there is long way to go to challenge the orthodoxies of urban theory dominated by study of the 'biggest and best', here we…

    This article asserts the importance of studying small cities. We argue that small cities have been ignored by urban theorists who, in seeking to conceptualize broad urban agendas and depict generalizable models (for example relating to epochal urbanism, the structure and nature of the urban hierarchy, global cities and global city-regions), have tended to obscure as much as they illuminate. Given that study of 'the city' has been vital to broader…

    This paper develops dialogue between geographers’ engagement with emotion, embodiment and affect, and geographical research on alcohol, drinking and drunkenness. In doing so, we focus on the long-running ‘moral panic’ relating to alcohol-related violence, disorder and drunken behaviour in urban public space. We argue there has been an ontological and epistemological impasse in ‘alcohol studies’ between approaches that have considered the biologic…

  • The Cultural Economy of Small Cities

    Open Access•Mark Jayne, Chris Gibson et al.•ARTICLE•Geography Compass•2010•Cited by: 8•References: 40

    This paper contributes to a burgeoning body of literature which seeks to highlight the importance of studying small cities. Dissatisfaction with urban theory dominated by study of 'the city' defined in terms of a small number of 'global' cities has led theorists to consider what is lost as a consequence of this bias. Although there is long way to go to challenge the orthodoxies of urban theory dominated by study of the 'biggest and best', here we…

  • Contemporary Cultures of Abstinence and the Nighttime Economy: Muslim Attitudes towards Alcohol and the Implications for Social Cohesion

    Open Access•G Valentine, L Holloway et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2010•Cited by: 22•References: 36

    This paper draws on original empirical work with the British Pakistani community to explore Muslim attitudes to alcohol and alcohol-related practices, before considering how the Pakistani Muslim community's culture of abstention shapes its members' access to, and use of, public space in the nighttime economy. We foreground the active role played by alcohol, as a nonhuman actor, in shaping emergent social relations by exploring its agency in gener…

  • Worlding a city: Twinning and urban theory

    Mark Jayne, P Hubbard et al.•ARTICLE•City•2011•Cited by: 18•References: 26

    Twinning is a practice that creates formal and informal political, economic, social and cultural relationships between cities throughout the world. Despite its prevalence there has been relatively little academic attention paid to twinning. Indeed, where writers have considered city twinning they have tended to describe local institutional structures and programmes of events rather than theorising the importance of twinning as a global practice. …
