Eric Kluitenberg schreef The Tactics of Camping, naar aanleiding van de take the square bewegingen in Zuid-Europa. Hij heeft het over het fysieke, belichaamde aspect van activisme, protest en verzet en over de relatie tussen het fysieke en het gemedieerde.
Michel de Certeau observed that the tactics employed by the ‘weak’ are always on the watch for opportunities, and that these opportunities must be seized “on the wing”. Tactics, de Certeau writes, have no base at their disposal from where they can capitalise on their advantages, prepare their expansions, or secure their independence from circumstances. Instead tactics ‘insinuate’ themselves into the places of others. They operate on the terrain of strategic power, ‘fragmentarily’, without taking it over in its entirety. Whatever these tactics win, they cannot keep. [1]
Hence, tactics are always nomadic.
