So I said I'd kick in my copy.

Negotiated agency" strikes me as a really useful framework in which to talk about visitor/audience participation in the arts. Sometimes the negotiation is contested. The museum invites art-making in the elevator. This is a kind of negotiation jui-jitsu that can create art through creative tension.
