Description :
This paper examines work at the Singer factory, Clydebank, in the first half of the twentieth century. It employs a geographical reading of the temporal and spatial strategies of worker control in the factory. Using both archival and oral history data to critique commonly accepted understandings of factory work, I argue that although the factory space can be read as disciplinary, this must not obscure the resistive spatial and social strategies employed by workers. I draw on Foucault's ideas of discipline and governmentality but also consider the arguments of commentators analysing the modern work space and the ways in which the worker may evade and display ambivalence towards discourses aimed at them.
