I am interested in the answers that Tyler may have to Michael's last question... I am very interested in Kwon's essay and may very well have it be the basis for my end on term project/paper. So is there updates in the discourse?
Pg. 163-165 Kwon
"Not belonging to any particular system but a system of movement"
"not normative conformaties...nonrational convergences forged by chance encounters and circumstances"
"longing"
"can also be described as a compensatory fantasy in response to the intensification of fragmentation and alienation wrought by a mobilized market economy"
"Trickster ethos...choice to reinvent, the choice to fictionalize, the choice to belong anywhere."
I feel I have tried to slip past the unmooring and go straight for the sense of belonging, thus not a true sense. The trickster is everywhere again like in the "old days" when people could move and make up whole histories for themselves. Now maybe it's tongue in cheek but happening more and more.
