Did Someone Say Participate? re-draws the map of participatory, spatial practice by critically engaging contemporary socio-political shifts with input from cultural activists and spacial practitioners. One goal of this trans-disciplinary dialogue was to acknowledge the concatenation of disparate practices – permitting the editors to call the volume an “atlas” – while “deliberately instigating conflicts between often-delineated fields of knowledge.”
Published in 2006 by MIT Press, the collection gathers authors who
share an essential interest: the understanding, production and altering of spatial conditions as a pre-requisite of identifying the broader reaches of political reality.
More, the book targets readers beyond the usual sphere of architectural research and practice, seeking instead the participation of “anyone interested in navigating through current forms of cultural inquiry and debate.”
