ABSTRACT

Evidently the general architectural and infrastructural projects produced by the local, national and international fields of power are responsible for providing the landscape in which this correspondence between space and thought is worked out, and the overarching sociohistorical context is one of flexibilisation and intensification of work and reorganisation of boundaries in the wake of neoliberal employment policy, feminisation of the workforce and technological developments. First of all there are those for whom the home has a specific region within it where attentive consciousness is encouraged or demanded to turn to the significances and effects of fields other than the family, specifically the fields structuring their employment or education. The second group are those for whom the home as a whole is perceived to be a site dedicated solely to family activity. Displeasure, however, can emerge in multiple ways from the spatiotemporal articulation of fields.
