Краткое описание:
In this insightful and pathbreaking reflection on «doing nothing,» Billy Ehn and Orvar Löfgren take us on a fascinating tour of what is happening when, to all appearances, absolutely nothing is happening. Sifting through a wide range of examples drawn from literature, published ethnographies, and firsthand research, they probe the unobserved moments in our daily lives—waiting for a bus, daydreaming by the window, performing a routine task—and illuminate these «empty» times as full of significance. Creative, insightful, and profound, <i>The Secret World of Doing Nothing</i> leads us to rethink the ordinary and find meaning in today’s hypermodern reality.
