“…In this project we were principally concerned with the in situ unfolding o f social action. So, following the work o f Laurier (2014;Laurier and Lorimer, 2012), Spinney (2010;), Brown et al (2008, and Mcllvenny (2013), we decided to use a video-based methodology. As such, this paper originates in the collection and analysis of just under eight hours o f video footage recorded during sixteen 'ride-alongs' (Spinney, 2011) with nine cyclists during June and July 2010.…”

C ontem porary cities are thick with infrastructure. In recognition o f this fact a great deal o f recent work within urban studies and urban geography has focused on transform ations in the governance and ownership o f infrastructural elements within cities. Less attention has been paid to the practices through which urban infrastructures are inhabited by urban dwellers. Yet in all sorts o f ways infrastructures are realised through their use and inhabitation. This paper argues for the im portance o f attending to the ways that infrastructures are reinterpreted through use. Focusing on a case study of com m uter cyclists in L ondon, it explores the ways in which cyclists accom m odate themselves to (and are in tu rn accom m odated by) the infrastructural orderings o f L ondon's streets. Confronted by the obduracy o f a road infrastructure designed prim arily for m otorised traffic, cyclists show a diverse range o f approaches to negotiating movement through the city on bikes.The paper describes how this negotiation can be understood in terms of the m ore or less skilful processes o f navigation, rule following, rule making, and rule bending. This involves a polym orphous mix o f practices, some com m on to driving, others to walking, and yet others unique to cycling. In conclusion, the paper suggests th at transform ations o f infrastructures found within cities need to be understood as m uch through emergent changes between their elements, and that close attention to how infrastructures come to be inhabited offers productive avenues for thinking about ways to improve them.

“…One of the opportunities posed by research into mobilities is to engage with more mobile forms of data collection (Fincham, McGuinness and Murray 2010;Ricketts Hein, Evans and Jones 2008). Brown, Dilley and Marshall (2008), for example, have undertaken a highly innovative video ethnography approach riding along with mountain bikers engaged in leisure cycling. Through analysis of the videos, some of the micro-geographies and rhythms of different movements whilst biking could be explored (see also Brown and Spinney 2010).…”

Sensory indiscipline and affect: a study of commuter cycling

The senses act as the interface between self and environment, but in a western context powerful multisensory stimulation is increasingly constructed as marginal, deviant or in need of management/commodification. This paper brings together work on the sensory with ideas around affective intensity to explore the regulation of the individual through the senses. The notion of sensory discipline is developed through an examination of everyday commuter cycling. Based on innovative, mobile audio diaries, the intensities of sensory stimulation for the cycling body are explored. The paper concludes that commuter cycling enacts a minor resistance towards efforts to reduce the intensities of everyday affective landscapes. In turn, this resistance suggests just how pervasive sensory discipline has now become.

“…Indeed, some have argued that however much implied or explicit freedom and flexibility there may be in a research project, material collected cannot be presented as solely the participant's own production of audio-visual knowledge. This is because researchers nearly always tend to control the conceptual framing of the work itself (Brown et al, 2008); that is, just because a researcher is not physically present, does not mean that he or she is absent from the scene (Pini, 2001). For instance, Cherrington and Watson (2010) in their study of college basketball players, as opposed to giving participants carte blanche, tried to achieve a balance between guidance and freedom in the production of video diaries.…”

AbstractThe purpose of this paper was to further explore the use of video diaries as a research method. Specifically, the principal objective was to detail and deconstruct the use of video diaries in relation to some of the claims made on their behalf, particularly those related to participant voice, empowerment and spontaneity. The paper is presented through the illustration of a longitudinal case study into under-graduate sports coaching students' learning and identity, in which video diaries were used alongside participant reflective logs and focus group interviews. Building on previous work, the findings give credence to an increasingly problematic conceptualisation of data derived from video diaries. Here, the claimed spontaneous and empowering nature of such diaries is questioned in light of the substantial role adopted by researchers to secure their production. The findings, however, also point to the realistic use of such methods which require careful consideration of context, and to being the principal, as opposed to a complimentary, research means within any given study.
