Based on an ethnographic study of male manual workers in Blackpool, a large seaside town in the United Kingdom, and drawing on Bourdieu as a theoretical frame, this article explores the role of place in understanding conditions and experiences of precarity. With higher than average levels of deprivation, seaside towns have experienced particular employment challenges where precariousness is likely to be at the forefront of male manual workers' labour market condition. Results highlight the significance of the interplay between place, employment prospects, geographical ‘constriction’ and dispositions of ‘provisionality,’ which, together, produce ‘uneven geographies’ of labour. We develop the concept of ‘place precarity’ to show how precarity is fundamentally rooted in the spatial context and to capture how conditions and experiences of precarity interact with localised employment conditions.

在边缘生活和工作:“地方不稳定”和英国海滨小镇男性体力劳动者的经历

本文基于对英国海滨大城市布莱克浦男性体力劳动者的民族志研究,并以布迪厄为理论框架,探讨地方在理解不稳定状况和经历中的作用。由于贫困程度高于平均水平,海滨城镇经历了特殊的就业挑战,其中不稳定可能是男性体力劳动者劳动力市场状况的首要问题。结果突出了地点、就业前景、地理“限制”和“临时性”倾向之间相互作用的重要性,这些因素共同导致了劳动力的“地域不均”。
