• The Practice of Everyday Life• “ Reading thus introduces an ‘art’ which anything but passive. It resembles rather that art whose theory was developed by medieval poets and romancers; an innovation infiltrated into the text and even into terms of a tradition. Imbricated within the strategies of modernity ( which identify creation with the invention of a personal language, whether cultural or scientific), the procedures of contemporary consumption appear to constitute a subtle art of ‘renters’ who know how to insinuate their countless differences into the dominant text. “ – Michel De Certeau on The Practice of Everyday Life. Pembaca menginterpetasikan tulisan penulis secara subjektif, menerjemahkan sesuai dengan apa yang sudah mereka serap dan mereka ketahui sebelumnya. Pembaca menginterpretasi berdasar kultur dan kebiasaan yang mereka miliki, sesuai dengan penulis namun mengubah teks sesuai dengan adat mereka, aksen, atau bahasa ibu mereka. Setiap orang membaca teks atau gambar secara berbeda sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan pengalaman mereka dan menggambarkan arti yang berbeda. Seni percakapan menciptakan suatu komunikasi kolektif yang tidak dimiliki semua orang. Everyday life invents itself by poaching in countless ways on the property of others. Reading is an act of production that is not recorded, akin to a once-off silent performance. Focus on reading as an example of an everyday practice that produces without capitalizing. #ThePracticeofEverydayLife #BudayaKontemporer #MichelDeCerteau #SastraJerman #UNPAD #tugaskuliah (at Padjajaran University)
