I would rename the last chapter, "The Unnameable", and call it "The Unreadable". But otherwise pretty fun.

An absolutely incredible perceptive trail through modern urban life, told with a voice that seems to understand the heartbeat of a city. ( )

El Museo Nacional de Arte y Fundación/Colección Jumex, presentaron La invención de lo cotidiano, muestra que reunió 158 obras de 102 artistas en promedio, que corresponden a épocas, técnicas y pensamientos diferentes. Las piezas dialogaron alrededor de un tema: la cotidianeidad y forman parte de los acervos de ambas instituciones, con obras que datan del s. XVII a nuestros días. El curador de la exposición, Frédéric Bonnet, propuso una reflexión en torno al uso del arte como evocación documental de lo cotidiano y el modo en que los artistas se adueñan de éste para reinventar y reimaginar algunos de sus usos y aspectos mediante la imagen, la forma y la experiencia producida.

This is a book I recommended frequently to people without actually having read, given that a classmate of mine back in the Medieval Spatial Theory course had explained parts of it very persuasively. It was hard to find in stores so I bought it online, and found it a very beautiful (and very deliciously-smelling) book. I read most of this in the Dublin airport (side-by-side with [b:The Last Unicorn|29127|The Last Unicorn (The Last Unicorn, #1)|Peter S. Beagle|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358147318s/29127.jpg|902304]) which might be pretty fitting when you've got a book thinking about even our interactions with space as codifiers of social behaviour. I think it's one that I've got to go over again in smaller sections to really get to the meat of different chapters. But I'm glad to now have read the book and am better able to justify recommendations, rather than interpreting an interpretation (though I still will always love & think foremost of that friend's take on the book--I could not help but read it through his lens and I think always will).

Really could not get over the conceit of complaining that everyday language is not discussed in academia whilst using language that is night inaccessible to those that he discusses ( )
