Belgrad brings spontaneity in conjunction with the notion of culture, which implies that spontaneity is cultivated and that this cultivation or practice takes place within a particular context, not in isolation. This entails that spontaneity’s early definition (17th century) as ‘of one’s own accord’ becomes for Belgrad, and for this thesis, ‘of one’s accord in relation to’, not a celebration of free self-expression.
