Abide with Yourself
Will Self advocates the notion of 'abiding' - sitting and whiling away time - in our society of 'seemingly ceaseless motion'.
The philosopher Michel de Certeau characterised space as 鈥榯he practice of place鈥�,
Will Self argues that, in order to appreciate the places we inhabit, we have to indulge in 'that most unfashionable and unproductive of things: abide".
'To be in a place', he writes, 'is not to be distracted by the possibility of other places, but absorbed by the particularity of the one you're in.'
