The nature of everyday life in metropolitan public spaces is an unprecedented entanglement of activities, emerging from the presence of multiple actors competing for a limited space. Making sense of this complexity is a longstanding challenge in the social sciences: how can such a mesmerizing ‘urban ballet’ be explained in the absence of overall orchestration? I hypothesize thatthis urban rhythm – the temporal alternation of activities in the public spaces of a city – is not neutral, but reveals entrenched power relations which are renegotiated and reaffirmed on a daily basis. Building on the notion of rhythmanalysis, I develop a methodology combining a visual timeline called ‘urban tempo’ with in-depth interviews. I present a case study of a market in pericentral Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), where local actors negotiate access to more or less valuable time slots and spaces throughout the day. I show that such negotiations pertaining to time result in a very practical sense in the production of ordinary public spaces. The findings reveal four types of actors, classified according to their negotiating power. Broadly, the rhythmanalysis presented here reiterates our understanding of power as relational, highlighting the unequal conditions of negotiations in public spaces at a micro-level. By adding a temporal dimension to the politics of the everyday, it also opens up a promising research agenda, inviting comparisons of ‘time-sharing regimes’ across metropolitan contexts.

节奏分析:重新思考普通公共空间中日常谈判的政治

大都市公共空间中日常生活的本质是前所未有的活动纠缠,这是由于多个参与者争夺有限空间而出现的。弄清这种复杂性是社会科学领域的一个长期挑战:在缺乏整体编排的情况下,如何解释这种令人着迷的“城市芭蕾舞”?我假设这种城市节奏(即城市公共空间中活动的时间变化)不是中立的,而是揭示了根深蒂固的权力关系,这种关系每天都得到重新谈判和重申。基于节奏分析的概念,我开发了一种方法,该方法结合了称为“城市节奏”的视觉时间表和深入的采访。我介绍了胡志明市(越南)中部市场的案例研究,在这里,当地参与者会全天协商访问或多或少有价值的时间段和空间。我表明,这种与时间有关的谈判在生产普通公共场所时具有非常实际的意义。调查结果揭示了四种类型的行为者,根据其谈判能力进行分类。概括地说,这里介绍的节奏分析法重申了我们对权力作为关系的理解,强调了在微观层面上公共场所谈判的不平等条件。通过将时空维度添加到日常政治中,它还开启了一个有希望的研究议程,邀请了跨大都市环境的“分时制度”进行比较。我表明,这种与时间有关的谈判在生产普通公共场所时具有非常实际的意义。调查结果揭示了四种类型的参与者,根据其谈判能力进行分类。概括地说,这里介绍的节奏分析法重申了我们对权力作为关系的理解,强调了在微观层面上公共场所谈判的不平等条件。通过将时空维度添加到日常政治中,它还开启了一个有希望的研究议程,邀请了跨大都市环境的“分时制度”进行比较。我表明,这种与时间有关的谈判在生产普通公共场所时具有非常实际的意义。调查结果揭示了四种类型的参与者,根据其谈判能力进行分类。概括地说,这里介绍的节奏分析法重申了我们对权力作为关系的理解,强调了在微观层面上公共场所谈判的不平等条件。通过将时空维度添加到日常政治中,它还开启了一个有希望的研究议程,邀请了跨大都市环境的“分时制度”进行比较。从微观层面强调了公共场所谈判的不平等条件。通过将时空维度添加到日常政治中,它还开启了一个有希望的研究议程,邀请了跨大都市环境的“分时制度”进行比较。从微观层面强调了公共场所谈判的不平等条件。通过将时空维度添加到日常政治中,它还打开了一个有希望的研究议程,邀请了跨大都市环境的“分时制度”进行比较。
