- W1990012592 abstract "AbstractSince its introduction into the literature over ten years ago, the concept of thecommunity of practice has been prolifically employed in a range of dierentdisciplines. A community of practice is regarded as denoting a set of relationsthrough which a group of actors mutually learn and share knowledge in order toproduce innovative outcomes in a particular activity. Many authors who have adoptedthe term have however primarily restricted evidence of such communities to veryformally organised contexts that are characterised by relatively homogenous andcollaborative events. This thesis therefore examines the activities among markettraders in an open-air market and seeks to understand whether evidence of acommunity of practice can be found in settings that are characterised by actorsinvolved in self-employment and competitive contexts as opposed to the previouscontexts that have shaped evidence of the community of practice.From a qualitative ethnographic study of the Alaba-Suru market in Lagos, the thesisproposes a multiscalar representation of the practice of market traders that considerspractices of traders as being much more than certain shared and communal tiesthat permit market trade to be conducted in the midst of intense competition. Thethesis uncovers how competing everyday activities of buying and selling displayedby individual traders, their organisation and interactions with other traders, customersand suppliers are further linked with wider systems of regulations operatingthrough cultural, economic and other political linkages which are continually beingreordered, contested and renegotiated in ways that defy easy categorisation into acommunity of practice.The thesis acknowledges that concepts such as the community of practice arepotentially useful for understanding how a heterogeneous set of market traders, incompetition, are able to accommodate one another in conflictual cooperation. Ithowever is made apparent in the thesis that the scales at which practice is occurringin and through traders in a market, require a flexible and more open relationalapproach to conceiving the community of practice. The thesis concludes from ageographical perspective that the continued application of the community of practicemust accommodate and incorporate the changing structure of events in space andtime." @default.
