Abstract

The article discusses the processes of domesticating offices and making the workplace feel like home. First, the author describes the ways of taming and personalizing territorial offices: she analyses the ways of bottom- up shaping and taming of the workplace, inscribing one’s identity and biography, as well as resistance and contestation – tactics that constitute answers to corporate strategies.
