Spatial embeddedness and multi-scalar production networks: Urban practice of glass bangle-making in Firozabad - Economic & Political Weekly - 60(8), Feb 22, 2025: p.41-49

The centrality of an artisan’s household within the geography of traditional bangle-making is analysed by spatially locating it within the networks of production in the context of the Firozabad artisanal cluster in Uttar Pradesh. By employing a relational approach to the reading of space, the spatial configurations of work-life and the spatial practice of artisanal bangle-workers are analysed to arrive at the dynamic, multi-scalar urban spatiality emerging from an intersection of spatial embeddedness of both capital and labour in an artisan’s home. – Reproduced
