Analiza praktyk czasoprzestrzennych i sposobów zamieszkiwania „wielolokalnych” polskich naukowców

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the practices of spatial and temporal organization and modes of inhabitation of multi-local researchers and to show how scientists perceive their multi-local lifestyle. Materials obtained from semi-structured, problem-oriented interviews, conducted as part of the preliminary research in 2022, were used for the analysis in the article. The research focused on four aspects: spatial arrangements and time use (duration and rhythm), multi-local practices (with particular emphasis on work-related mobility practices and housing arrangements), and the construction of the meaning of multi-local arrangements. The article attempts to contextualize the practices of multilocal life in accordance with the assumption that people living in several places constantly create new spaces, not only expressed in terms of real, territorial space but also socially or culturally constructed space.
