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

As we wondered through what appeared to be an oddly shaped community of triple sectioned blue buildings among precisely placed ornaments of bushy, some stout, others where giant green sticks.  The paths were twisty, each curving to a unique destination creating an idea of artistic placement as some were very hard to walk on, and others were soft, consisting of loosely placed tiny pebbles.  Each building seemed to be dressed in a different theme, pieces of paper (multi-colored) attached as if to promote some sort of statement or gathering for perhaps those who occupy this space.  We did come across some bodies coincidently entering these facilities, very secluded and quiet, as if to be on a secret mission, not to glance away from their destination or make any sort of contact with those around them.  The buildings themselves seemed to be aligned in a circular fashion with two sets of these green, yellow and blue boxes, each having their own distinct aroma but its sour stench kept us from peeking inside in spite of the writing above these containers mentioning “Garbage” or “Recycle” and “Mixed Waste.”  Another observation we found were that in the entrances of these buildings, on the one side there was a long piece of wood stretched out on top of a few posts, mostly likely used for sitting, standing, perhaps even dancing, but opposite this structure were metal pipes shaped in a fashion to secure oddly shaped units which we can only assume are used for transportation.  In one instance, we discovered that in one building, occupying the right side seemed to be a group more detail oriented then those on the left, only by which the signs on the door seemed to prove, most likely stating each sex separated by a wall which also seemed to be associated with how these beings walk amongst each other as well.  One on the right and another on the left, this type of technique seemed to be established as common rule without question.
