because they do not quite fit together, or parts of our world that don't quite fit together.

and exactly what it affects.

things and they pushed back against them.

Passengenwerk (The Arcades Project" - an enormous unfinished text looking at the

What is a Flaneur? - Answer- Flaneur - French word meaning "lounger," "stroller," "idler"

modern life. A solitary walker through the street, looking, exploring.
What fundamentally changed art and how people experience it? - Answer-
Photography.
"... the technique of reproduction detaches the reproduced object from the domain of
tradition. By making many reproductions it substitutes a plurality of copies for a unique
existence. And in permitting the reproduction to meet the beholder or listener in his
particular situation, it reactivates the object reproduced.
Before photography, works of art were singular, unique, and existed in place. You had
to go to see them and experience them. There was a distance between you and them.
BoBo Doll Experiment - Answer- Behaviorism was a dominant way of understanding
human psychology. When you do good things, you get a reward for it. Just like dogs get
a treat when they're good or when they get a talking to when they are bad, humans
were thought to be the same way. "People learn when they are conditioned by direct
experience (where you have done something that is done to you and you get the reward
or the punishment and you base the way you act on this) .
We do a lot of watching of what other people do and see what works for them and what
does not.
