People-watching and urban life: Toward a research agenda
Taking inspiration from studies of ‘seeing-and-being-seen’ at the vanguard of intellectual debates regarding urban life since the late-eighteenth century, this paper explores the popular contemporary pastime of people-watching. Drawing on cumulative theoretical, empirical, and methodological resources generated by generations of critical urbanists I highlight the ways in which geographies of people-watching is a topic deserving of sustained academic attention. More specifically, I explore how engagement with rhythm, repetition, habit and events, testimony, and protocols offer fruitful avenues to interrogate everyday practices, mundane conversations and internalized un-spoken dialectics that constitutes people-watching. Concluding remarks signpost how a research agenda focused on people-watching can add value to long-standing and newly emerging urban geographies.
