控制室通常处理可能成为事件的事件。他们试图通过采取各种形式的行动来阻止事件的发生，从而向基础设施的用户隐藏事件及其可能性。本文以一个高速公路控制室的民族志研究为基础，描述了事件是如何被掌握和处理的，以及如何受到控制的影响。专注于如何通过检测-诊断-响应工作暂时实现控制的承诺，我们展示了控制室的行动是如何位于事件和非或准事件之间的模糊线上，并涉及使可能或可能成为事件的事件成为其对立面：非事件，或例行事件。我们使用的情况下，控制室的工作在对话与米歇尔福柯之间的关系“政府和事件”和劳伦Berlant的“事件模式”挑战强调事件的戏剧性转变，在一些目前的研究，以确保生活和一些地理工作的事件。密切关注控制室的工作，显示了政府和（非）事件之间关系的多样性，并邀请我们扩展社会和文化地理学家学会感知和揭示的“事件模式”。
Abstract Control rooms routinely deal with happenings that might become events. They attempt to hide events and their possibility from the users of infrastructure by undertaking various forms of action to stop events coming to pass. Based on ethnographic research in a motorway control room, in this paper we describe how events are grasped and handled and subject to the effect of control. Focusing on how the promise of control is provisionally achieved through detection–diagnosis–response work, we show how control room action is situated on the ambiguous line between event and non- or quasi-event and involves making happenings that might be or might become events into their opposite: non-events, or routine occurrences. We use the case of the work of control rooms in dialogue with Michel Foucault on the relation between ‘government and event’ and Lauren Berlant on ‘modes of eventfulness’ to challenge the emphasis on the event as dramatic transformation in some current research on securing life and some geographical work on events. Paying close attention to what control rooms do shows the multiplicity of relations between government and (non)event, and invites us to expand the ‘modes of eventfulness’ that social and cultural geographers learn to sense and disclose.
