‘Switch on’: sensory work in the infantry

John Hockey

University of Gloucestershire, jhockey{at}glos.ac.uk

There has been little sociological research on work at the sensory level and the result is a largely missing foundational link in the chain of analysis connecting the phenomenological practices of doing work with theories about work. As a first step towards remedying this lacuna the article portrays the sensory work of movement, seeing, hearing, smelling and touching manifested by the occupation of infantryman.

Key Words: body • infantry • occupations • senses • work
