“…Following De Certeau's (1984) notion of the everyday as a site of transformation and resistance, critical urban scholarship has conceptualized everyday practices as a manifestation of resistance against different forms of domination, exclusion, and control over resources (Graham & McFarlane, 2014; Lawhon et al, 2014; McFarlane, 2011; McFarlane & Silver, 2017). Central to this literature are questions around the potential of everyday practices of reclaiming and transforming urban spaces and relations and, ultimately, of producing alternative, more democratic and equitable cities within the “orthodox” one (Iveson, 2013; Lawhon et al, 2014; Parnell & Robinson, 2012; Pieterse, 2008; Truelove & Cornea, 2021). Whilst far removed from “big politics,” the practices of the everyday, these authors argue, can undermine and transform established authoritative patterns by developing new notions of citizenship, mobilizing spaces, or by developing alternative economies (Iveson, 2013; Lawhon et al, 2014; Myers, 2003; Staeheli et al, 2012, p. 630).…”
