Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

My group ventured to the bus stop located next to Red Square.  The bus is identified by a sign that is attatched to a light pole.  It has writing and symbols on it.  The buses enter a circular driveway, or "loop".  A cement curb surrounds the drive with a patch of bricks that run along the curb. 

The sound of the buses engine is heard as it sits and waits for passengers to board.  On the front of the bus there is a digital scroll, it tells you where you're going, and identifies the bus that is taking you to your destination.  The bus's lights are on as it sits and waits.

People enter the bus shifting through their belongings to find their ID/money.  They step on and up the steps to greet the driver.  I observed in the actual "bus stop".  There were two actually.  They are like glass cases for people.  They have three walls of glass, and metal frames that create an open box with a bench for passengers to wait.  One person entered to wait for the bus, and looked at the bus schedule this person left to go talk to the driver about where she will end up. 

Every few minutes, a voice from a speaker tells you what bus you're taking and where you're going.  Next to the bus stops there is a phone booth, with a phone book, and next to the booth is an emergency phone.  The wind is herad through the trees, and a puff of air noice is heard as the bus exits slowly.  People pass by, sometimes stopping to look at bus times.

Along with these observations, I drew diagrams of the loop, and the signs and symbols I saw there.
