Looking back on our trip

 I feel that our visits to both, the Arnolfini, and the Watershed, were, overall, a success. We saw what we needed to see. We got the information we wanted. Still, I can't help but think that, if I were to do another site visit, I would like to prepare better. Neither sites were having screenings when we went to them. While this isn't essential for our research or conclusions, it certainly would have helped to see a big chunk of public, but oh well. Maybe next time.

Notes on Week 3 seminar

 Much of what we see today, and take for granted, is actually the result of a relatively new shift in paradigms. Things such as leisure time are fairly ''new'' concepts. This shift in paradigm started with the industrial revolution, whee people started migrating from the country side to the cites. This new allocation of society, paired with the new, rising type of industry, gave birth to consumer culture, as we know it.

 This also started the idea that consuming was a status symbol, and thus, areas were created with sole purpose of consuming and being seen consume. 

 It is also worth noting that in this era of transition, we see for the beginning of childhood as a concept, as well as the alienation of the worker.
