Study Day: ‘Sight and Sound on the Street’
22 September 2009
This study day is part of the Street life and street culture: Between Early Modern Europe and the present network, funded by the AHRC as part of the Beyond Text project. This study day will consider themes to do with the senses of sight and sound as they impinge upon and inform the public space of the street.
When: 17 October 2009
Where: Research Forum, Courtauld Institute, London
The Street life and street culture network has set out to build an international team of scholars with shared research interests in the interdisciplinary study of urban culture; in particular the relationship between the built environment and the social fabric of Early Modern cities. By entering into a dynamic discourse with specialists from non-historical disciplines, we are pursuing the potential for “experiential” studies of street life, in a two-way discussion linking the historic past to the present.
This day will consist of three sessions:
1. Sonic Experiences of the Street
Participants:
Angus Carlyle (CRISAP - University of the Arts London)
Flora Dennis (University of Sussex)
Joseph Young (Artist, The Neo-Futurist Collective)
2. Sensory Responses and Performance in the Street
Participants:
Niall Atkinson (Texas Christian University)
Ornette Clennon (Oxford Brookes University)
David Rosenthal (Monash University)
3. Sounds, Gossip and the Street
Participants:
Alexander Cowan (Northumbria University)
Liz Horodowitz (New Mexico State University)
Terhi Rantanen (LSE)
