本文结合新兴的多元文化文献以及欢乐和谈判等概念，探讨日益多样化的种族人口如何在城市场所和社会空间中共享和混合。作为一个更广泛的ESRC资助的，为期两年的定性研究不断变化的社会生活和日常多元文化在当代英格兰的不同地理区域的一部分，本文借鉴了参与者的观察数据，从三个分支的特许经营休闲和消费咖啡馆空间。我们特别关注这些空间的工作方式，这些空间是通常被设想为因种族差异而分离的群体之间的相遇和共同存在的环境。我们的研究结果表明，企业空间，这是更经常被解雇的商业，全球化的空间没有灵魂的同质性，可以是当地的曲折空间，其文化的温和可能会产生自信的熟悉，种族的混合，世俗的共同存在和不注意的形式的欢乐。
This paper engages with an emergent literature on multiculture and concepts such as conviviality and negotiation to explore how increasingly ethnically diverse population routinely share and mix in urban places and social spaces. As part of a wider ESRC funded, two-year qualitative study of changing social life and everyday multiculture in different geographical areas of contemporary England, this paper draws on participant observation data from three branches of franchised leisure and consumption cafe spaces. We pay particular attention to the ways these spaces work as settings of encounter and shared presence between groups often envisaged as separated by ethnic difference. Our findings suggest that corporate spaces which are more often dismissed as commercial, globalized spaces of soulless homogeneity can be locally inflected spaces whose cultural blandness may generate confident familiarity, ethnic mixity, mundane co-presence and inattentive forms of conviviality.
