Dissolving boundaries; senior personnel playing pranks on junior. The Bar as a place where this is acceptable, and the negotiation of status through this.
Late at night with the locals. The Bar is relatively empty, grappa is being consumed, conversations are taking place in broken Italian. Subsets of communities are formed; "Do you remember that time when..."
Community. Oustide, drinking beer, non-gendered space. The tables have been pushed together so that everyone can interact with everyone else; a unifying place-specific practice.
What to do when not in the field; the process of drinking is the focus of the photograph here. This is quite demonstrably not the field, and this is not water. The Bar as Other.
