Vocabulary
ludic city
1. what does the first highlighted sentence mean? What do "embodied response" , "normative urban scene", and "ludic city" mean in it?
2. does the second highlighted sentence mean "an interest in play, as a manifest in the form of a festival" (for them a play was like a manifest in the form of a festival)?
Context:
Central to a tactical, embodied response to the normative urban scene, as Lefebvre saw it, was the notion of a ludic city. Whilst the situationists developed the critical practice of psychogeography – rooted, naturally, in surrealism – as a playful means of recovering lost energies and re-signifying the city (as we have seen), they simultaneously shared with Lefebvre an interest in play as manifest in the form of the ‘festival’ (or ‘collective game’), seeing it as the ultimate expression of social revolution.
