- Abstract
- A significant part of scientific and technological production consists in the elaboration of “theretouching of localities”; additional efforts and means are aimed at making facts and artifacts universal, as well as at coordinating the production process, given the particular spread of the network of producers. The physical place plays a certain role in those spheres of production wherethe stress is on the visual communication space and remote access ability, as, for instance, in thedomain of information technology (IT). The article discusses several theoretical and empirical solutions to the challenge of production necessity for cooperative work: the Foucauldian perspective on ordering and functional division of multiples, the Latourian view of organization of the social by means of material objects, the idea of representation of the production process within a finite space,and the concept of affective atmospheres facilitating intellectual exchange. An IT office is no longera transit zone, but a specific “home non-place”, where people work “(to)gather”.
