Urban order objections target located bodies, not categories of people

Evidence

Note that the objection is not to “hippies” per se. They were considered a tourist attraction during the late 1960s when they remained in their out-of-the-way Haight-Ashbury district. The objection is to “hippies” in Union Square, located in the middle of the city’s commercial and hotel area. — Lyn H. Lofland, World of Strangers_ Order and Action in…, 501

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to Lofland’s larger anonymity thesis and to the reader’s cross-reading on urban ‘blasé attitude’ — territorial violations of expected place-based categories are what trigger alarm, echoing the spatial logic of civil inattention.
