From The Practice of Everyday Life, of course.
‘The ordinary practitioners of the city live “down below,” down below the threshold at which visibility begins. They walk – an elementary form of this experience of the city; they are walkers, Wandersmanner, whose bodies follow the thicks and thins of an urban ‘”text” they write without being able to read it … The networks of these moving, intersecting writings compose a manifold story that has neither author not spectator, shaped by fragments of trajectories and alterations of spaces: in relation to representations, it remains daily and indefinitely other.’
I think from you could argue that in fact there are spectators of this manifiold story - has he never heard of 'people watching' - but you know, who’d want to get into an argument with Michel de Certeau?
