SOCB51H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Parking Meter, Begging, Status Offense
Document Summary
In the public space and public sphere, we go and experience a variety of services which are contested with different types of messages, with different types of architecture, assuming different types of norms. Running graffiti has the same status as jerm 4 in terms of being illegal. How messy it is to attempt to apply law and sort out what norms are working and how they"re working. Our bodies in public space and how we conduct ourselves. Additional effort to make sure we queue up properly. It"s obvious where you"re supposed to stand and wait and if we violate them, there are consequences. They may not be severe but they"re there. Your behaviour catches the attention of other people. This idea of controlling different types of spaces and different types of bodies around how there are contested notions in space and what looks orderly/proper. Ideas of who or what should be included and who or what should not be included.
