For Michel de Certeau, author of “The Practice of Everyday Life”, the struggle for meaning and singularity equals the struggle for life.

Symbiosis (from Greek “living together”) 2. is a close and often long-term interaction between two different biological species. 3. In 1879, the German mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary defined it as “the living together of unlike organisms

Play is commonly associated with children and juvenile-level activities, but play occurs at any life stage, and among other higher-functioning animals as well, most notably mammals.
Emancipation: Over time, hard work, Collaboration and integration of different entities that inhabit a common ecosystem. A possibility of emancipation emerges. It’s a fragile equilibrium, imbedded in this possibility is acceptance of vulnerability, dangers of surveillance and contemporary anxieties.
