چکیده
In this theoretical paper we propose an approach to the spatial implications of homeworking derived from the work of social theorist Henri Lefebvre. By highlighting the processes involved in the inherently contested and (re)constructed nature of space in the demarcated home / work environment we suggest a collapse of this demarcation and consider the impact of such a collapse on questions relating to the rewards and challenges of home-based work for employees and their co-residents. We argue that a traditional, Euclidean conception of space risks ignoring the important, symbolic nature of social space to the detriment of both effective research and practice.
