Provides a rich and in-depth account of place and place-making in one marketplace focusing on London's Borough MarketDiscusses the premise that market-processes- the negotiation and exchange of commodities- are place processesExplores the complex material, social-sensual and discursive interactions that assemble to not only make markets, but reproduce markets as places

This book examines place and place-making in London¿s Borough Market. In particular, it uses topo/graphy (¿place-writing) to interrogate the ways in which Borough Market¿s material, social-sensual and discursive relations assemble to reproduce Borough Market as a place, market and marketplace. Its central premise is that market-processes ¿ the negotiation and exchange of commodities ¿are place-processes. This means that the often-abstract relationships that ultimately define what we think of as the economy are embedded in the rich and every materiality, sociality, sensuality and meanings associated with place. By tracing out these different elements, topo/graphy illustrates the ways in which economic reproduction is grounded in particular and often discrete practices. However, by assembling them together, this highlights the ways in which place and place-making are the driving force behind the economy at large.
