in which we spoke of morphologies- new forms in the city- physical and institutional, conspiracy theories abounded of corporate agendas within the civil society organizations that seem to be all over the planning processes in the city and spoke of how occupancy is so much more complex that we imagine it to be. binaries were constantly being dismissed and new forms of understanding were being postulated. capillaries perhaps, or maybe folds of strata collapsing into one another. complex forms, ‘messy’ perhaps where they embed within one another complicated and tenuous relationships. what worried me was that the taking up of a moral position, anyways difficult to develop in a terrain so ridden with mines, was being constantly being warned against. as if it would invariably be too polar. and then there was this discussion on political mobilization. where is the political? is it possible without a ‘cause’? how does one develop one in a ‘morphing’ city?
