TRANSCRIPT

Intervention 3Alice & Jemima’s Sensewalk around Campus

Otherwise known aslooking stupid on campus

Visualising space

Mental/cognitive maps employed

Pathways as rulers, buildings as reference points

Haptic sensations sometimes stimulated an imagined view

The other somatic senses

Touch – Sensitive to material underfoot, subtle cues from hand holding

Sound – Old Joe + library building site gave auditory clues to location

Smell – Costa coffee instantly recognisable, Aston Webb smell evocative

Taste? - Not so much…

Decreasing order of importance

Reflections on power

Opposite of intervention 2 – no gaze at all

Partner vs public power

Trust and deception

Links to academic thought

Pallasmaa - Visual and touch intimately related

Kristeva – Lack of frontal ontology as abject?

Foucault’s disciplinary gaze and the production of docile bodies
