“…The performance of movement is generated through linear trajectories, but also through re-routings, incidents, and swerves, as -the world does not resolve or come to rest‖ easily (Dewsbury et al, 2002, page 437). Indeed, not everything that emerges out of performance is intended or controlled (Schieffelin, 1998).…”

“…Instead of a typical data display I offer fragmentary and narrative data montages which enact (Dewsbury et al, 2002;Wylie, 2005) the doings of elusive mobility performances as -active and affective interventions in a world of relations and movements‖ (McCormack, 2005, page 122). In order to capture some of the diversity of the process of catching a ferry, the montages portray different people, sites, and circumstances.…”

Performing Elusive Mobilities: Ritualization, Play, and the Drama of Scheduled Departures

Drawing upon three years of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in ferry-dependent islands and remote coastal communities of British Columbia, this paper examines the process of catching a ferry in time for a scheduled sailing. Through performance, interactionist, and non-representational theory I argue that the weaving of a journey toward the ferry terminal can be a suspenseful drama, within which a scheduled departure works as a potential to be actualized through the performance of skillful acts of mobility. The affective, ritualistic, and playful components of passengers' journeys are examined through the lens of performance. Timing, spacing, and acting occasion differential ecologies of affect.Keywords: Performance; affect; mobility; play; ritual; drama; suspense; rhythm.Spatial mobility is not a fait accompli. To be on the move is to strive, to labor, to perform travail (Spinney, 2006). Lately, research on mundane spatial mobilities has begun to shed light on the taskscapes of transportation-mediated movement and the skills passengers practice in negotiating these environments (e.g. Bissell, 2009;Edensor, 2003;Holley, Jain, and Lyons, 2008;Jones, 2005;Laurier, 2004;Lofgren, 2008;. These studies have clearly shown how mobilities are hard-wrought intersubjective accomplishments, but much less attention has been dedicated to how spatial mobility acts fail to achieve their aims and how social actors need to adjust or abort plans,

“…[4] Readers may also wish to consult recent work on non-representational geographies (Thrift 1996(Thrift , 2000bDewsbury et al 2002), which drawing heavily on Performance Studies could provide similar resources. Indeed, Thrift could very well have had playing in mind when he talks about practice as "unwritable, unsayable, and unstable.…”

Child's Play?In thinking about children and playing, it was a while before I realized that the two terms seem to coagulate together, and this seemed to happen without much comment. For instance, the first thing you see when picking up a copy of children's geographies (Holloway & Valentine, 2000) is children playing on the cover. Many authors have contributed to the establishment of this link through the very focus of their studies. This includes a number of articles which have been concerned with the provision and use of (often outdoor) play facilities, (see Valentine & McKendrick, 1997; Built Environment, 1999). Other studies, closely aligned with my own research here, have explored the actual practices of playing 2 in after-school clubs (Smith & Barker, 2000), public playgrounds (Gagen, 2000), commercial leisure spaces (McKendrick et al, 2000) and third world rural contexts (Punch, 2000). Indeed, my own research and this paper were based upon and continue to reinforce this subtle connection between playing and childhood.This common move to link playing and childhood contains a number of tacit agreements, which I would like to bring into the foreground. Firstly it presupposes the connection between playing and childhood to be self evident, which is to say, there is something called "child"s play", often thought of as separate from the ludic activity of adults. James et al (1998) suggest that "the culture of childhood might be seen in the linguistic and playgrounds games of children, a collective culture, enduring and separated off from the adult world" (p.99). I believe that the selfevidence of this connection is something that could usefully be investigated and challenged, and part of my focus here will be to gesture towards ways in which this might be done. My working hypothesis will be that certain statements about playing should be applicable to all people, rather than just limited to young people. It is therefore crucial to my mind that any theorization of playing, such as the one I hope to elaborate in this paper, must account for an activity which is done by people of all ages. Such an argument seeks to obliquely engage with recent work in children"s geography, which has been debating the differences and connections between adults and children (Philo, 2003;Jones, 2003), and the blurred boundary between adulthood and childhood (Valentine, 2003). 3The second tacit agreement that underpins the studies mentioned earlier, is that play is talked about only in so far as it...
