Abstract

This essay portrays the constitution of the ethos for work and the circulation of commodities among street workers in Pikine, a department in the Dakar region of Senegal. Consisting of ten photographs produced in 2019 and focusing on fragments of a worker's trajectory, as well as the specific manufactures traded, the essay also proposes a reflection on the relationship between corporality, work, and material culture in the context of street vending in that country. The goods, commercialized by these workers, elucidate the forms of agency of the local material culture, their selling strategies, and the way Senegalese people consume on a daily basis.
