Beschreibung

This book presents a critical and aesthetic defence of ¿non-place¿ as an act of cultural reclamation. Through the restorative properties of photography, it re-conceptualises the cultural significance of non-place. The non-place is often referred to as ¿wasteland¿, and is usually avoided. The sites investigated in this book are located where access and ownership are often ambiguous or in dispute; they are places of cultural forgetting. Drawing on the author¿s own photographic research-led practice, as well as material from photographers such as Ed Ruscha, Joel Sternfeld and Richard Misrach, this study employs a deliberately allusive intertexuality to offer a unique insight into the contested notions surrounding landscape representation. Ultimately, it argues that the non-place has the potential to reveal a version of England that raises questions about identity, loss, memory, landscape valorisation, and, perhaps most importantly, how we are to arrive at a more meaningful place.

Zusammenfassung

Constitutes the first book to critically investigate the notion of "non-place," using of the author's own urban landscape photography, as well as examples from world famous photographers

Branches into several subject areas, such as landscape studies, urban studies, fine art practice, auto-ethnography and architecture
