The intervention today went really well. I've just been rereading de Certeau and I think this would be great alongside Lefebvre in our essays to explain the theory behind our intervention.
"The dividing line no longer falls between work and leisure. These two areas of activity flow together. They repeat and reinforce each other."De Certeau analyses the 'tactics' of the everyday and how We are the 'consumers'.
"Consumers are transformed into immigrants. The system in which they move about is too vast to be able to fix them in one place, but too constraining for them ever to be able to escape from it and go into exile elsewhere. There is no longer an elsewhere."I think this sums up the message behind what we did today, as we were trying to provide a space free from they system of work, and we managed to highlight that even in leisure there is no doing so; there is no longer leisure.
