- Abstract
- Abstract : The office' is a very successful British television series and the office is the weekday, daylight home of many people. Yet it has hardly been researched at all in its own right as a workspace or domain. This paper argues its significance, posits its feudal character as the heir of the medieval fief (not the Boisot-Child fief); and suggests research questions for the near future.
