ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a part of the work that we call research. This affinity is based on stringent restriction of the choices, methodic protocols, instruments, actions and products of research the overall control of the laboratory space and contents, and what comes in and goes out of it. The chapter describes how in the laboratory, physical and electronic space and work and leisure time-rhythms are subject to restrictions. This chapter presents a case or an example of what it means to acquire spatial orientations at a research site. It is also the fact that the degree of this integration at CCL was far less in my case as compared to the regulars, owing to my relatively ambiguous identification and also to my lack of recognizable function in the context of hands-on research work. The associates in each laboratory together work for the safety of enclosure, preventing the entry of objects and individuals perceived as contaminants and interlopers in laboratory space.
