Certeau! I have always liked the studying media and social sciences, but it was reading that book that I found there is a whole field of study precisely about the interaction between people and media. It also gave me a new light on my own views on the importance of art and creative endeavours. So now I'm studying to get into uni and study midialogy (an habilitation inside social communications). It's only offered by this one uni in my country and I wouldn't have found it if I hadn't had an idea of what it was, but it's the perfect fit for me.

that's so lovely!! I hope the university process works out!
de Certeau is kind of a key thinker for me (though I haven't been back to that book in a minute)--his work shows up in (and kind of infuses) two really incredible works: Saidiya Hartman's Scenes of Subjection and Adrian Johns' The Nature of the Book.
