Design FictionsWeek 4 The Power of [Everyday] Things
The dynamic of “the everyday” The everyday is always changing and is linked to time. Everyday reality is filled with places and things that try to control our time and our experiences. “…the everyday as a concept emerges with modernity.”Jamer Hunt, “Just Re-do It: Tactical Formlessness and Everyday Consumption,” in Strangely Familiar (ed. Blauvelt), 59.
Strategies and Tactics “The everyday, then is, an anxious oscillation between the gravitational pulls of stasis and change.”(Hunt, 60) Strategies are ways of stabilizing or controlling the everyday. Tactics are ways of destabilzingthe everyday.
Strategies are “ways of seizing space…techniques of the empowered.” • Tactics are “simple ways of constructing alternatives.” • Hunt, 60-62.
