This paper analyzes the self-organizing network Hoffice – a merger between the words home and office – that brings together people who wish to co-create temporary workplaces. The Hoffice concept entails a co-working methodology, and a set of practices inherent in opening up one’s home as a temporary, shared workplace, with the help of existing social media platforms, particularly Facebook. We discuss both the practices of co-creating temporary workplaces, particularly for workers who lack a stable office and orchestrate flexible work arrangements, and the values and rhetoric enshrined in Hoffice. We collected our research materials through interviews, participant observation, and workshops. Our findings draw attention to i) the practical arrangement of Hoffice events, ii) the participatory efforts to get individual work done, and 3) the co-creation of an alternative social model that encourages trust, self-actualization, and openness. To conclude, we discuss how Hoffice is already making change for its members, and how this is indicative of a politics of care. We contribute to research on computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW) by highlighting grassroots efforts to create alternative ways of organizing nomadic work and navigating non-traditional employment arrangements.

共同创建工作场所：在办公室实现个人工作的参与性工作

本文分析了自组织网络Hoffice –家庭和办公室这两个词的合并–将希望共同创建临时工作场所的人们聚集在一起。Hoffice的概念需要一种协同工作的方法，以及在现有社交媒体平台（尤其是Facebook）的帮助下，将自己的家作为临时共享工作场所开放的固有方法。我们将讨论共同创建临时工作场所的做法，特别是针对缺乏稳定办公室和精心安排灵活工作安排的工人的做法，以及Hoffice所体现的价值观和言辞。我们通过访谈，参与者观察和研讨会收集了研究材料。我们的发现引起人们对以下方面的关注：i）Hoffice活动的实际安排； ii）完成个人工作的参与性努力； 3）共同创建鼓励信任，自我实现和开放的替代性社会模式。最后，已经对其成员进行了更改，以及这如何表示护理政治。我们通过强调基层为创建游牧工作和导航非传统就业安排的替代方法所做的努力，为计算机支持的协作工作（CSCW）的研究做出了贡献。
