L’argument principal avancé ici est que la culture suburbaine de Voreia Proastia se positionne sur un continuum entre l’urbain et le rural pour la simple raison qu’au niveau des pratiques langagières et des styles de vie, elle englobe à la fois des caractéristiques du monde urbain, associé aux « nouveaux pauvres » ou à la « pauvreté élégante », et du monde rural, associé aux « nouveaux riches ». A travers l’analyse de cette appropriation, nous tentons de comprendre leur signification sociale. Cet article cherche à examiner les manières selon lesquelles les discours associés aux banlieues nord d’Athènes (Voreia Proastia), considérées de manière stéréotypée comme chics, sont repris par la littérature populaire. De ce fait, ces zones constituent un domaine essentiel pour la recherche interdisciplinaire sur le paradigme urbain-rural. I need to be that #basicwhitegirl just like my suburban town.Les zones périurbaines donnent lieu à un train de vie auquel aspirent de nombreuses personnes, étant donné qu’elles semblent marier la vie urbaine et la vie rurale. I need a Pumpkin Spice Latte to get over the loss. I was in the lead for a bit but then when I placed a freeway, it caused me to grow too quickly and I had to knock my reputation and income down those three points like I mentioned before. I didn’t win the game. My part of town was not the best. Because…well, for obvious reasons. I can just picture her citizens sending letters to her saying, “What were you thinking? It smells horrible over here now!” She regretted that move almost immediately. One of my friends built a land field next to her suburb. He was rolling in the dough for the longest time. On the other hand, he got money every time someone built a suburb. He didn’t need it but he really wanted it. I built a stadium just so one of my friends couldn’t. So I didn’t get as much money my next turn. One turn caused me to have to lower it by three. Once you hit a certain number of points every time you increase, you have to lower your reputation and income. However, the more people that move in, the harder it is to get money and keep a great reputation. If you are popular, people want to live there! Makes sense, right? You slowly gain points by gaining reputation because your population increases. Now would you like to hear about another catch? Of course you would! Image: Walt Mulder. Like if you build an airport, you get a certain increase in income and reputation for each other airport built, not only in your part of town but in other parts of town as well. So, when I built the international airport, those other two regular airports in my friends’ areas helped me out. You have rewards that come with building certain things as well. But if you place anything next to a lake, you get instant cash! And who doesn’t love that? Because, of course, the people would complain about the noise and smell. If you place a government building next to a suburb you lose income. If you place a factory next to a suburb, you lose reputation.
You place these tiles to make your area of town the best and gain income and reputation. You’ve got some suburbs you can build, a park, a factory, even a lake. And there are tiles in front of you that all players can buy. You start with no income but 1 reputation. I mean, who doesn’t, right? And to make your part of town the best you need to have income and a good reputation. And you want your part of town to be the best. Now, combine those two words and the images they produced. (My favorite disaster was the monster, by the way.) Or was that just me? No, I know every kid and teen that played that game did that. Setting disasters loose on your city to see it crumble to the ground? Now, let’s go back to the word association. When I say Sim City what do you think of? When I first heard of the game I thought, “Wait, do I really want to play a game where we act like #basicwhitegirls and drive to Starbucks and go to PTA meetings?” Now, when I say Suburbia what do you think of? The same things as above? Not for people who play board games. Or maybe I’m just thinking back to my childhood since I totally grew up in the suburbs. Two best friends riding bikes down the street? When I say the word “suburb” what pops into your head?Ī group of teens playing basketball in a driveway?
