“Night is more than what meets the senses. It is also more than the absence or negation of day. Night is a social product mediated by social relationships and practices, discursive and otherwise. Indeed, night is more than a time of day. It is also a space---or more appropriately, spaces---in which we live our lives.” Robert William
“Night is expressed culturally in often contradictory products. Stories, myths, literatures, and ideologies are filled with references to night: night as a time of repose with its conventional places for leisure and sleep; and night as a time of danger, even horror, with the darkness shrouding the Reason which emanates from the human use (and perhaps over-emphasis) on visuality”
Robert William.
“Women are often told to be extra careful and take precautions when going out at night. In some parts of the world, even today, women are not allowed out at night. So when women struggle for freedom, we must start at the beginning by fighting for freedom of movement, which we have not had and do not now have. We must recognize that freedom of movement is a precondition for anything else. It comes before freedom of speech in importance because without it freedom of speech cannot in fact exist.” The Night and Danger by Andrea Dworkin
“Night time transforms the condition of the walker. Everything implies risk. It implies the minimisation of spaces when we refer to mobility and escape routes. Space is minimised during the night, and the city whose public and private space is restricted during the day, grows even smaller the night. For those who lack funds, the number of possibilities and options is limited.” GGM
