Given the evidence map (below) that you provided, suggest a structure for the two empirical chapters of the thesis (and connect with literature, especially practice theories and empirical research using them).
"Evidence map for RQ on non-monetary, non-domestic node and the work that sustains it
Evidence map across the interview/fieldnote code table (sections #3S645Y meanings/materials and #8B58LN skills/consumption work) for the RQ “How are divestment, acquisition and circulation organised in a non-monetary, non-domestic node, and what work sustains them?”
A. DIVESTMENT — how it is organised
Rhythm and routing: maisiņš batching (Līga, #5E57W9, #UZFVDU); split-trip logistics under self-imposed constraint (#M67FMX, #CEF64T); category-by-category sorting (Agnese, #4J5PZS, #L3VG57, #3NYLLW); explicit hierarchy of routes (Zane R., #RRP4QV, #LGBQDU; Agnese #KMYB5P).
Why Brīvbode rather than alternatives: transparency vs containers (Laura #MWS97L, #E4MFB8); witnessing the moment of circulation (Laura #U5BGXA, #F6LCR7); imagined deserving recipient (Līga #Y67X6T); resolves moral discomfort of uncertainty (Marta, in #8X36SB).
Quality threshold and donor-side norm: donor’s puzzle (Jana #EFYYPG); Laura’s self-policing about polyester (#VCLRHQ); the wire-offcuts case (Austra #LK2LTV).
Temporality and ambivalence: weekend cost of sorting (#2RJ3YU/#YERRGY); the clothes rail Laura cannot route (#GMEP5Q, #TPTJ42); divestment paradox (Jana #8PKEB6, #9EF3UV); difficulty of sorting one’s own things (#ZXHV8F, #RHY4SJ).
Household division of labour: gendered routing (Austra #UTR7RE; Jana #NBQV56, #MF4SLU).
B. ACQUISITION — how it is organised
Temporal-strategic skills: queueing before opening (#SMWRAQ, #8SX7Z2); Agate’s seasonal arrival timed against older-women clientele (#732VUH); avoiding peer competition (#GQVTMD); regularity of visits (#98PL3B, #69LEJC).
Sandra’s fatalist orientation as opposite competency (#93H7X3); Valentīna’s “secret source” knowledge (#QG5628, #VFYSME, #GX46UN); Sandra abandoning charity shops for Brīvbode (#F8FTKF).
Acquisition on behalf of others (Ita commissions #LD5EYX/#MDMDWT; Austra for husband/grandchild #K4JG7B; Jana for colleagues #P656VF).
C. CIRCULATION as a non-monetary node — organisation of exchange
Exchange-not-charity norm explicitly enforced (Alise #JCP9XZ; Jana on heterogeneous public #ZH9CL3; Ira “čista energetičeski vajag apmaiņa” #YRZ5TB).
Active norm-policing at the door (Jana at Viskaļi #Z4Y3CL); witnessing instant uptake creates legitimacy (#U5BGXA); discouraging immediate-taking practice (#RMKQVJ).
Boundaries with the market: resellers tolerated as “forest sanitarians” (Linards #MNG733; Alise’s nuance #BR8392, #CGCXV2).
Circulation distinguished from donation containers (#SQZ3YB whole code).
D. WORK THAT SUSTAINS THE NODE
Volunteer/curation labour at the site
The “filter” — knowing who needs what, holding for specific people (Alise #5A5K3L, #WVK5LA, #98PCVV).
Administrative imbalance acknowledged (Alise #5QRLRU).
Building taxonomies — competence acquisition narrated (Linards #KLXGWM); trained eye for quality (Ieva #CKX84P).
Emotional labour of recalibrating motivation against takers/resellers (Alise #UJLH87, #CNU7RP).
Rescue work as competence (Ita #FCMSYL, Ira #TWTB73).
Visitor labour that constitutes the practice
Skills are mostly social/evaluative rather than embodied (#LYR7ZC, #UMEQZP).
Visiting as competent navigation (Valentīna #QG5628, Agate #732VUH/#GQVTMD).
Network/logistics labour beyond the site (the “non-domestic” node extending back into homes and streets)
Ita’s neighbour logistics (#Y2KBYA, #DB3UFD, #DWPTQM); Valentīna’s building network (#DCU5AC, #NY9YYW, #M9SMFM); Jana’s colleagues (#P656VF); Ira’s parallel logistics to dog shelter, refugees, elderly (#P4588R).
Marta’s intermediary role for her aunt (#TM3MWA, #SNJEJF); Marta’s recruitment work (#VJFRXZ, #EMQCLH).
Līga’s 30 trips refusing easy disposal — labour as ethical refusal (#L3R6NF, #RP9HZL, #M4VY96, #ESUEL2, #W7S3GS).
KEY ARGUMENTATIVE #PIVOTS
Brīvbode is a node where private divestment becomes briefly visible and socially acknowledged (#B9RXQU, #7GEY85): the site condenses three otherwise dispersed practices.
The non-monetary character is sustained by active normative work, not by absence of money: it requires policing reciprocity (#JCP9XZ, #Z4Y3CL), tolerating selective market leakage (#BR8392), and dramaturgy of visibility (#U5BGXA, #MWS97L).
The node is non-domestic but the work that sustains it is continuous with domestic consumption work (Hobson framing in #B9RXQU). The clearest empirical demonstration is the divestment-network code (#GAF5TZ): consumption work ordinarily inside households is delegated outward to embedded carriers (Ita, Valentīna, Marta, Līga) who in effect privatise the logistics of the public node.
The strongest single quote candidates for the framing: Alise’s bumblebee (#ZF8R4S), Līga’s “iekšējā sajūta neļauj” (#ESUEL2/#W7S3GS), Jana’s “piecās minūtēs uz miskasti” (#EFYYPG), Alise’s “Tas filtrs man ir” (#5A5K3L), Alise’s “neesam labdarības iestāde, te ir apmaiņas punkts” (#JCP9XZ).

Suggested headline argument the codes support
The non-monetary, non-domestic node is sustained by three concentric labour rings: (a) curation/admin work onsite (Alise, Linards), (b) visitor evaluative-temporal competence, and (c) a wider ring of household-embedded carriers (Ita, Valentīna, Marta, Līga, Ira) who privately absorb the logistics of other households’ divestment so that the public node remains usable. The non-monetary character is not residual — it is actively reproduced through reciprocity-policing (#JCP9XZ, #Z4Y3CL), dramaturgy of visibility (#U5BGXA, #MWS97L), and tolerated market leakage (#BR8392).
Strongest five quote candidates if you only have room for a handful: #ZF8R4S (bumblebee), #JCP9XZ (not charity), #EFYYPG (5 minutes to the bin), #ESUEL2 (inner sense), #5A5K3L (filter).
Evidence map for non-monetary/non-domestic-node RQ — coded spreadsheet rows (XGCWS4)
Evidence map — STRONGEST rows from the coded spreadsheet (#XGCWS4 “IEVA coded excerpts”) for the RQ “How are divestment, acquisition and circulation organised in a non-monetary, non-domestic node, and what work sustains them?”
Spreadsheet structure: 17 sheets, one per interviewee plus the field-notes file #YASYZN. Codes are repeated as column labels per row, so the same excerpt block id appears under several codes. Codes most relevant to this RQ:
• “Disposal, flow of goods, intense circulation”
• “Consumption work, volunteer work, work of disposal and acquisition”
• “Social relations – networks, relations in Brīvbode, exchange relations”
• “Rules, successful practice, skills, know-how, techniques”
• “Morālā ekonomika”
• “Friction”
• “Apmeklētāju dažādība”
A. DIVESTMENT — how it is organised (rows under “Disposal, flow of goods…”)
Maisiņš/batch divestment as routine: #TEUXGT (fieldnotes row 1180 — three bags, relief). #KGJ857 same row, coded under “Fun/sustainability/guilt”.
Category-by-category sorting as practical wisdom: Agnese row 1331/1061/76 — single duplicated quote in #WT2LES / #SQYFPS / #K2RFDW. Reinforced by Agnese row 1339 #D5BEPS (weekend cost: “dažreiz ir žēl, ka paiet tās nedēļas nogale… kaut ko kārtojot”).
KonMari-style audits: Jana row 1305/1052 #C9V9FK / #VYKURM (“ārprāts, tur ir tik daudz”).
Hierarchy of routes (sell → give → Brīvbode → container): Agnese after buying flat row 1328 #438FZA; Vika’s hierarchy in fieldnotes #32EUK9 (row 1196: “labākas lietas Andelē, vidēji labas Brīvbodē, sliktākas konteinerā”); Līga row 1386 #DT4W43.
Pre-bringing quality check: Agate row 1256 #X2VRBE (sorts at home so things don’t sit unworn for 2 months).
Self-assessment of donor norm violations: Laura L. row 1342/1155 #6MQQ52 / #AEEMM8 (“daudz lietu, kuras varbūt vajadzētu nest uz tekstila konteineri, nevis uz Brīvbodi”).
Anxiety/relief loop in fieldnotes: #9V26MJ / #8YEXY4 (rows 496 / 1193) — divestment tied to mental energy of storage.
Resistance from cohabitants: Jana’s son (row 1303 #ENBGTC / row 606 #4DE547).
B. ACQUISITION — how it is organised (rows under “Rules, successful practice, skills…” and “Consumption practices”)
Queue-before-opening as competency: fieldnotes rows 16/116 #MCNPUJ / #RZUR8A (8 in line at 11.43; Agate explicit about timing with older ladies’ taste). Row 654/1094 #XKBQJT / #GBQ98C (rush to the small-items table at 12:00). #8SX7Z2 (in thesis prose, but echoes rows).
Jana’s typology of visitor durations: row 214/1045 #CHDP8L / #A4T9H8 (some come for half-an-hour, some stay 15:00–19:00).
Late-arrival joke: row 988 #R7SB5M (Linards: “Viss jau izķerts”).
“Talented op-shopper” self-description: Laura L. row 1068/1156 #RNSLAM / #C466UT.
Acquisition as process not outcome: Alise row 164/523 #MPRZ2T / #XCNDTT (“Man drīzāk ir pats tas process – iet un meklēt”).
Browsing while volunteering: fieldnotes row 968 #FQX7PX (donor-side guilt about looking).
C. NON-MONETARY CHARACTER — how exchange is held in place
Non-charity / exchange-point statement (Alise’s signature claim, repeated under multiple codes):
• Alise row 875/375/282/535 #KN9KRP / #QVA8V8 / #MNWGGK / #ZLCPXN (“mēs neesam palīdzības punkts, te ir apmaiņas punkts”).
• Alise row 1023/876/283 #2PQM8H / #5QFRMR / #ABKGT2 (equality of all exchangers; Ukrainians “saprata, ka šis ir apmaiņas punkts”).
Linards’ alternative framing: row 292/548 #RYPVBT / #ZCX4VX (“Mūsu mērķis nav darīt labu cilvēkiem… mūsu mērķis ir darīt labu planētai”; reframes from charity to fun/fanīgi).
Visitor uptake of the norm:
• Marta row 919/1133 #5DGGDB / #H7T6PA (“Es to vārdu ‘brīvu’ kaut kā izslēdzu… kā apmaiņu”).
• Ira row 289/890 #2PYRSF / #NB63C5 (“čista energetičeski vajag apmaiņa”).
• Fieldnote row 757 #SWZX3T (donor-taker symmetry felt as fairness).
Norm enforcement at the door: Jana row 1043/1292 #8B83WU / #FTHCSY (must explain reciprocity); Linards row 898 #ZXWFUR (“nenotiek enerģijas apmaiņa, tu vienkārši jūti, ka tur novampirē”); fieldnote rows 814/996 #FS5Z73 / #XX4BM9 (Ira clashes with Gunta over too many bags).
Boundary with the market — internal critique: Linards row 1119 #S6RW99 (resellers / “sociālais kontingents”); Alise on “Elga the truffle pig” #MXDNLD / #RJHD4Q (rows 1095 / 797).
D. WHAT WORK SUSTAINS THE NODE
D1. Onsite curation / volunteer labour
The “filter” — contextualizing objects for owners: Alise row 686 #U9KVGX (the long monologue about finding “owners” for unattractive items by placing them in the right context, festival, theme).
Sorting children’s clothes with friction: fieldnote row 1191 #R6CKY9 (Linards “Alise ir zero waste, es ne”); row 653 #MVLZQ3 (Alise: “man vairs nav tolerances pret mantām”).
Tolerance-management at the entrance:
• Alise row 857/1020 #4264V5 / #GS6GYR (lets in 5-6 at a time vs. Linards’ strict 30-minute limit).
• #W9X5TW (row 279 — Alise compares the slow Brīvbode let-in to the chaotic Viskaļi method).
• Fieldnote row 760 #48K4GX.
Discipline work with greedy takers: row 982 #PCX3EQ (Alise: “Citi cilvēki arī gribētu ņemt grāmatas”).
Fieldwork of the researcher as volunteer: rows 19 / 1206 #XW5L6L / #G8ENWD (sorting at home as preparation for Brīvbode trip, self-as-volunteer).
Volunteer-to-volunteer friction: rows 264 / 823 #MLC6AX / #N54C8P (Gundega+Linards put out Ira’s stored items, including her documents — labour conflict makes the curation work visible).
Alise’s other, more humorous side of curation: row 278 #YGU32M (tolerating a co-volunteer’s stuffed-animal aesthetic in the spirit of voluntarism).
D2. Visitor-side competencies & emotional labour
Linards’ rotating-presence anchor effect: Ira row 894 #AMT8Z9 (“A ceturtdien: ‘A kur ir Ira?’ A piektdien: ‘A kur ir Linards?’”).
Marta’s first-time guilt / learning the rule: #5DGGDB / #H7T6PA (already cited under C).
Sense of obligation as burden: Zane R. row 414/1167 #396TMV / #2CF35M (“reizēm vieglāk būtu vieglāk”). Mirrors Līga.
D3. The wider network: domestic+neighbour labour that feeds the public node — strongest cluster for the “non-domestic node continuous with domestic work” argument
Ita’s near-weekly neighbour logistics: rows 922/1278 #HKLQQD / #E5JCPA (only 1 in many goes herself; rest route through Ita); rows 923/1279/55 #LGJ3S2 / #WZ7KG9 / #TH67YS (≈5 regular neighbours; coordinates pickup, also takes acquisition commissions).
Valentīna row 911/1258 #8VK3T4 / #G8QTRV (“Kaimiņi… ‘Es piektdien eju uz Brīvbodi’, tad viņi piešauj klāt kaut ko”).
Ira’s network beyond the building: row 889 #G7Y469 (offers to come to neighbours any day); cf. fieldnote row 796 #UPQN4W (Ira’s habit of giving items to others as showing know-how/goodwill).
Agnese’s intergenerational magazine chain: row 947/453 #UPDSUX / #KPXJWM (80-year-old neighbours route magazines through her to her colleagues — a parallel non-Brīvbode circulation she also uses).
Līga’s 30-trip refusal of clearance firm: row 1375 #8YV6ZJ (“es tur 30 reizes braukāju”) and the embodied driver: row 424 #UNUSRE (“man tā iekšējā sajūta neļauj to darīt vienkārši”).
The structural reason the labour falls on her: row 1389/322 #7NM3NF / #G67YJK (“ja šādas situācijas akumulētos vairākas, tad es saprastu, ka nē, ir vieglāk izmest ārā” — describing the counter-pressure).
Reseller as ecological function (managing accumulation outside the household): cited above.
D4. Decluttering culture and the gendered division of labour as backdrop
Zane R.’s named critique of decluttering culture: rows 1366/419/1168/629 #3R6TGZ / #7S8UXT / #MFGBC7 / #D8VDBD (“lieko krāmu izmešanas kultūra”; YouTube minimalism + finance influences).
Linards on Marie Kondo: row 1027/147/1244 #W4WMCV / #9AGUCV / #WFZQMW (suggests Brīvbode should “advertise such methods” to get higher-quality donations).
Fieldnote row 977 #AEACUN / row 6 #5R59RH (Gundega on “kārtošanas konsultantu” TV).
Alise on the ironic relief that volunteering at Brīvbode lets her not feel guilty about her own waste sorting: row 358/517 #XD5V7K / #GQLR2H.
KEY ARGUMENTS THE ROW EVIDENCE SUPPORTS
Brīvbode as a non-monetary node is sustained by #ACTIVE NORMATIVE WORK, not the absence of money. The Alise row #KN9KRP and the Linards row #RYPVBT are the foundational pair: charity-vs-exchange and charity-vs-fun are the two managers’ framings, both anti-charity but in different directions. Visitor uptake (#5DGGDB Marta, #2PYRSF Ira, #SWZX3T fieldnote) shows the norm propagating; #ZXWFUR / #FS5Z73 / #PCX3EQ show its policing.
The non-domestic node is CONTINUOUS WITH DOMESTIC WORK and depends on a ring of household-embedded carriers: Ita, Valentīna, Ira, Līga, Agnese. The clearest empirical pattern is that the cost of being a public node is privatised back into individual women’s logistics labour (Ita rows 922–923, Valentīna row 911, Līga row 1375, Agnese row 1339). This is not a side effect — it is what makes the public node viable.
The work is THREE CONCENTRIC RINGS:
(a) Onsite curation/admin: Alise row 686 (#U9KVGX); Alise vs Linards on let-in rhythm (rows 857/1020 vs Linards’ enforcement); rows 264/823 show conflict-as-evidence-of-work.
(b) Visitor temporal/evaluative competence: row 16 #MCNPUJ; row 1256 Agate #X2VRBE; Jana’s typology row 214; Laura L.’s self-assessment.
(c) Neighbourhood logistics: Ita, Valentīna, Ira, Marta, Līga clusters above.
The strongest single quote candidates with row IDs to keep handy:
• Alise on exchange-not-charity — rows 875 / 282 / 375 / 535 (all the same quote, multiply coded) — pick #KN9KRP as the canonical block.
• Līga’s “iekšējā sajūta neļauj” — row 424 #UNUSRE; followed by row 1375 #8YV6ZJ (“es tur 30 reizes braukāju”).
• Ira’s “čista energetičeski vajag apmaiņa” — row 289/890 #2PYRSF / #NB63C5.
• Marta’s first-time exchange-uptake — row 919/1133 #5DGGDB.
• Alise on curating context for items — row 686 #U9KVGX.
• Linards’ “darīt labu planētai, nevis cilvēkiem” — row 292/548 #RYPVBT.
• Agnese on category-sorting + weekend cost — rows 1061/1339 #SQYFPS + #D5BEPS.
• Ita on neighbour delegation — row 922/1278 #HKLQQD / #E5JCPA.
The earlier note #7K5HXW maps the same RQ across the #THESIS-prose code sections (#3S645Y and #8B58LN). This note covers the actual SPREADSHEET row corpus (#XGCWS4) and should be used in tandem."
