Sample text
Collage contains the idea of combinations of different things that compose a differentiated whole, useful for thinking about and capturing the organisation of space and people within the shop spaces on the Walworth Road. The economic imperatives of staying in business, for example, demanded combinations of entrepreneurial acumen and social skill: the Nigerian barber shop had carved out space from its male territory to include a nail bar run by Asian women; convenience stores and laundrettes let small areas within their shops fronts to offer telephone and mending services respectively; the bakery aimed to sell bread to West Indian and English tastes; the regulars at Nick’s Caff included a wide array of ages and ethnicities; and boxers, actors and assorted mod enthusiasts made their way across London to Reyd’s for a sharp suit.
Increments of time are crucial for understanding how these commonplace publics are shaped by the occupation of space-time across the day. The ethnographic eye and ear is generally attentive to the microcosmic dimensions of human expression and improvisation, and skilled ethnographers recognise and interpret the value of social nuances and tacit gestures (although not always with sufficient attention to the role of space and time). But it is perhaps more difficult, given the intense investment required for ethnographic observation, to trace larger time frames and to consider what implications these have on how individuals develop their opportunities and choices across their life spans.
Sometimes spaces within shops were divided into small areas to be used or rented out separately. 3). The availability of small rental spaces within these shops was particularly apparent in barbers and salons, where chairs were rented out individually to cutters and stylists, as well as nail beauticians, on a week-by-week basis. This meant that the head lessee was exposed to less risk, while entrepreneurial access was simultaneously provided to the very small-scale operator. While these spatial subdivisions grow out of the imperative of business, they accrue a collage-like rendition of an urban high street that to the outsider may appear as messy and inchoate, but which is a carefully considered arrangement of entrepreneurial and cultural intersections.
