Sidewalk as parasite
“We link Lefebvre’s (1991) theoretical model of how urban space is produced, perceived, and lived to De Certeau’s (1984) and Foucault’s (1986) views on how spaces can be variously practiced and (re)appropriated for resistance. We also highlight the importance of the entanglement of space and time, a notion that has been emphasized through Foucault’s (1986) “heterochronies,” De Certeau’s (1984) “tactics,” and Bakhtin’s (1981) “chronotope.” By analyzing how people make use of the sidewalk on bulky item collection (BIC) days, we unpack the existence of a parasite heterotopia—a place that is temporarily appropriated by a tactical use of a regulated space so as to challenge its surrounding environment.”
