Proposed two-chapter restructure for empirical chapters 4 and 5
Proposed restructure of the two empirical chapters around the RQ “How are divestment, acquisition and circulation organised in a non-monetary, non-domestic node, and what work sustains them?” Builds on the evidence-map notes (incl. #7K5HXW and the existing outline #3S645Y #8B58LN
CHAPTER 4 — “Three practices at one site: divestment, acquisition and circulation at Brīvbode” (replaces current #3S645Y
4.1 Brīvbode as a node where three otherwise dispersed practices are co-located and made briefly visible. Pivots #B9RXQU #7GEY85 Anchor quotes: bumblebee #ZF8R4S “apmaiņas punkts” #JCP9XZ Lit: Warde #RZ8QTE / #9D34UM Shove & Spurling #BZ63DX Holmes #XATD2A

4.4 Circulation as actively-held non-monetary form: exchange-not-charity #JCP9XZ /#KN9KRP, #RYPVBT #5DGGDB #YRZ5TB door-policing #Z4Y3CL #ZXWFUR #PCX3EQ market boundary #MNG733 #BR8392 #MXDNLD dramaturgy of visibility #U5BGXA #MWS97L Lit: Graeber #Q3G2WY Parry #Q24SW5 Herrmann #4UEQN8 Appadurai #PB2Z6X Kopytoff #9DHD6K Spaargaren & Fraanje #LB72BP Eden #59QUM6 Fitzmaurice et al. #AG36RW Otto et al. #QUD55H Smith & Jehlička #WVG7HV (foil — Brīvbode is loudly non-charity, not quiet).
4.5 Conclusion: non-monetary character is reproduced through active normative work, not by absence of money.
CHAPTER 5 — “What sustains the node: three rings of work” (replaces current #8B58LN

5.4 Ring 3 — Household-embedded carriers and privatised logistics (strongest cluster): Ita #Y2KBYA /#DB3UFD/#HKLQQD/#LGJ3S2; Valentīna #DCU5AC /#NY9YYW/#8VK3T4; Ira #P4588R /#G7Y469; Marta #TM3MWA /#SNJEJF/#VJFRXZ/#EMQCLH; Līga #L3R6NF /#ESUEL2/#8YV6ZJ/#UNUSRE; Agnese #UPDSUX /#KPXJWM.

5.5 Decluttering culture as backdrop producing the carrier role: Zane R. #3R6TGZ /#7S8UXT/#MFGBC7; Linards on Kondo #W4WMCV #AEACUN Lit: Holmes #6EFDXH Alexander & Sosna #8YF7LY Alexander #7RVN6J Murphy #9MNC8T Lindsay et al. #YBKS64
5.6 Conclusion: the non-monetary, non-domestic node is viable only because consumption work normally inside households is delegated to embedded carriers; non-domestic character is “bought” with largely female domestic-style logistics labour.
Two headline arguments to assert in the conclusion:
Active normative work, not absence of money, sustains the non-monetary form.
The non-domestic node is continuous with — and parasitic on — domestic consumption work, externalised onto a ring of carriers.
Five anchor quote slots: Ch. 4 intro #ZF8R4S §4.4 #JCP9XZ §4.2 #EFYYPG §5.4 #ESUEL2 §5.2 #5A5K3L
The current §4.1–§4.27 fold cleanly into 4.2/4.3/4.4. The current §5.1–§5.21 fold into 5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5; the existing #GAF5TZ “Divestment networks” + #EU3EU3 “Līga” become the spine of 5.4.
