Abstract
It refers to an urban life that is improvised and impossible to police because of its impossibility to be repeated second time, there is no pattern easily recognisable. This is an uninhabitable world. The one is intervening in each others lives and there is a lot of information but no ways to solve it. Unemployed men waiting and women living in domestic spaces divided by walls which "are not just porous sieves of information but marks of complex geographies where bonds and cuts in webs of lateral relations are made".
Even improvised lives need a place to be held and supported. This book supports the practice of districting. Taken the example of black urbanisation and the work of Sun Ra exo-planetary efforts are made to be part of the center of the city. "For Sun Ra, then, districting referred to an incessantly inventive practice of operating in the discontinuities between having a location in which one is identified and from which one can identify and speak to others"
(Paths to be constantly crossed
changing paths constantly difficult to police (that is a form of resistance)
The people don't trust the big people behind the scenes and they know all of them.)
Notes
The non-repeatability is a form of resistance because it is impossible to police it.
