❋ ON LOITERING and other forms of in-situ computation ❋

The joy of living in a city?

April 15th, we were in the Zuidplein Public Library, doing observations around the areas. I was stay in the shopping mall with Wang and Victor next to the library. I found I'm easily captured by unique shapes and prints. It was a peaceful observation times when I sitting on the bench and watched people walking around. After that, I was loitering in the shopping mall for a while. Sometimes I feel insecure of people just standing there, so this reminds me of the article we've read in the first Monday class" Why Loiter? Women and Risk on Mumbai Streets".

However, the struggle against violence and the quest for pleasure cannot be separate things. The quest for pleasure actually strengthens our struggle against violence, framing it in the language of right rather than protection. The 'right to pleasure' must always include 'the right to live without violence'.
