过去的CSCW研究了时间节奏在合作工作中的作用，并确定了协调工作——将不和谐的节奏协调起来所需的工作——作为大规模合作的一个重要方面。相反，我们问的是个体工人如何与时间节奏相互作用，以维持使他们的工作成为可能的条件——不是调整节奏，而是调整节奏。本文利用对农民知识工作者的采访，这些人既从事农业工作（在商业或非商业基础上种植食物或饲养动物的工作），也从事基于计算机的知识工作。我们确定了农民知识工作者与自然节奏和结构节奏互动以构建可持续工作生活的三种方式：锚定（将自己与特定节奏联系起来，以建立问责制和结构），脱钩（放松或切断与节奏的联系，以创造灵活性），以及填补空白（交织互补节奏，以创造平衡）。这些练习一起构成了调音工作。
Past CSCW work has examined the role of temporal rhythms in cooperative work and has identified alignment work--the work required to bring dissonant rhythms into alignment--as an important aspect of large-scale collaboration. We ask instead how individual workers interact with temporal rhythms to sustain the conditions that make their work possible--not aligning rhythms, but attuning them. This paper draws on interviews with farmer-knowledge workers, people who engage with both farm work (the work of growing food or raising animals for food, on a commercial or non-commercial basis) and computer-based knowledge work. We identify three ways that farmer-knowledge workers interact with natural and structural rhythms to construct sustainable work-lives: anchoring (tying oneself to a particular rhythm to create accountability and structure), decoupling (loosening or cutting ties with a rhythm to create flexibility), and gap-filling (interweaving complementary rhythms to create balance). Together, these practices constitute attunement work.
