Fragments of the City
This chapter is in the book Fragments of the City
85Writing in FragmentsFor far too long we have busied ourselves with thinking about ways to change the city. It is about time that we let the city change the way we think.—David Kishik, The Manhattan ProjectIf one takes this exteriority of relations as a conducting wire or a line, one sees a very strange world unfold, fragment by fragment: a Harlequin’s jacket, or patchwork, made up of solid parts and voids, blocs and ruptures, attractions and divisions, nuances and bluntness, conjunctions and separa-tions, alternations and interweavings, additions which never reach a total and subtractions whose remainder is never fixed.—Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet, Dialogues
