"A practice of the order constructed by others redistributes its space; it creates at least a certain play in that order, a space for maneuvers of unequal forces and for utopian points of reference. That is where the opacity of a 'popular' culture could be said to manifest itself--a dark rock that resists assimilation...Innumerable ways of playing and foiling the other's game...the space instituted by others, characterize the subtle, stubborn, resistant activity of groups which, since they lack their own space, have to get along in a network of already established forces and representations."
