ZONING: Ideas for Writing About Place and Space
ZONING: Ideas for Writing About Place and Space
This publication documents the workshop series run by FIELDNOTES across London in 2022, exploring methods such as concrete poetry, psychogeography, and frottage as means of responding to the urban landscape, creating systems of observation and notation. Drawing from works by writers including Robert Walser, Georges Perec, Kōbō Abe, Raymond Queneau, and Anne Carson, a number of prompts were devised for each workshop location which participants responded to. ZONING includes a selection of these exercises, responses, and reference materials which combine to produce an alternative or aberrant map of London from Bloomsbury to Thamesmead. (FILEDNOTES)
