Public Spaces Reimagined: The Influence of Minor Urbanism
摘要
This chapter explores the concept of minor urbanism, drawing inspiration from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s work on minor literature, as well as Cindi Katz’s insights on “minor theory”. Together, these scholars emphasize the temporary, fragile, and collective nature of the minor—qualities that are here investigated and developed in relation to public space. Inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s three key characteristics of a minor literature—Deterritorialization of Language, Politicization, and Collective Assemblages of Enunciation—it delves into design strategies using subversion, political intertwining and collaborative authorship to challenge norms of urban planning and public space.
