Animated lands : Studies in Territoriology
- 2020
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Animated Lands Andrea Mubi Brighenti and Mattias Kärrholm focus on territory as a living phenomenon—and territoriality as an active and constantly reshaping force. They explore the complexity of territorial production through a series of parallel investigations into fundamental territorial themes, such as rhythm, synchronization, melody, morphogenesis, and animism.The notion of territory is excavated through case studies including the analysis of urban playgrounds, homemaking, the transformations of urban walls, and the stabilization of peculiar building types such as the house-museum. These empirical examples span such cities as Ahmedabad, Amsterdam, London, and Rome. Animated Lands provides a broad introduction to what a theory of territories could be and how it could help to advance sociospatial studies.

Atmospheres of retail and the asceticism of civilized consumption

- During recent decades, consumption-oriented spaces of comfort and hospitality have proliferated - including, for instance, lounge shopping malls, food court plazas, spas, entertainment retail, visitor centres, and the development of ever larger pedestrian precincts. In this article we explore shopping malls as capitalist domes in Sloterdijk's sense. We observe atmospheric production, atmospheric management and atmospheric culture (which we propose to call atmoculture) inside such domes. Processes of retailization and mallification - whereby shopping malls and retail spaces absorb increasing economic and societal energies - can be regarded as correlative to the rise of an atmoculture of civilized consumption. Such atmoculture is visible for instance in stress-avoidance strategies and the production of a pleasurable experience in consumption-oriented public zones. The design of contemporary retail spaces seems to pivot around specific atmospheric strategies developed to promote and sustain civilized consumption. In this piece, we describe four different strategies of atmospheric production, identifying their possible shortcomings and failings. Finally, we advance the hypothesis that the atmospheric production of retail can also be analyzed with reference to Sloterdijk's theorization of asceticism as self-disciplination..

Beyond rhythmanalysis : Towards a territoriology of rhythms and melodies in everyday spatial activities
- 2018
-
Ingår i: City, Territory and Architecture. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2195-2701. ; 5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The recent, rich scholarship on rhythms, following in the wake of Lefebvre’s book Éléments de rythmanalyse (1992), proves that rhythmanalysis is an important sensitising notion and research technique. Despite its increasing recognition, however, rhythmanalysis has not yet become a proper science as its proponents had hoped. In this article, we argue that rhythmanalysis could benefit from being further developed and integrated into a wider science of territories. What research must attain is, we suggest, not simply a recording, description or analysis of rhythms; instead, the goal is to capture the life of rhythms as they enter territorial formations. A neo-vitalistic conception, in other words, could enrich the standard social-scientific understanding of the relation between rhythms and territories. More specifically, we submit that the notion of rhythm could be explored not only in terms of the recurrent patterns of association it defines, but also with essential reference to the intensive situations and moments it generates and, in the end, territorialises.

Domestic Territories and the Little Humans : Understanding the Animation of Domesticity
- 2018

Ingår i: Space and Culture. - : SAGE Publications. - 1206-3312 .- 1552-8308. ; 21:4, s. 395-407

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Domesticity is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon. In this piece, we approach it from the point of view of a general theory of territories. To do so, we attempt to tackle simultaneously the ecological and spiritual dimensions of home by attending the expressive dimension of domesticity. We emphasize that the expressiveness of home inherently includes the register of the familiar as well as that of the unfamiliar (Freud’s unheimlich). The constant negotiations between these two registers can be appreciated as carried out at the limits of control. To highlight this fact, we focus on the case of the “little humans,” miniature humanoid creatures well attested in traditional mythologies and folk tales across different civilizations. Drawing from anthropological and ethnographic literature, yet with a leading interest in social–spatial theorizing, we seek to untangle the relations between humans and the little humans—these “elusive others” living with us—in order to clarify the deep meanings ingrained in domestic territories.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter introduces the project of this volume, laying out the coordinates of the phenomena and the questions addressed in the book. After reviewing the enduring significance of territories in the current historical context, we situate the science of territories in terms of its theoretical foundations and continuing dialogue with other threads in the social sciences. We then present to the reader the volume’s outline and the chapters hosted in it.

Morphogenesis and animistic moments : On social formation and territorial production
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Social Science Information. - : SAGE Publications. - 0539-0184 .- 1461-7412. ; 57:2, s. 249-272
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the issue of morphogenesis and metamorphosis in socio-spatial formations. The specific key is what we propose to call the ‘animistic moment’ in form-taking processes. We believe that a conceptualisation of animistic moments might help us to focus better not simply on the coming about of new forms, but also on the power forms are endowed with. The general social-theoretical horizon for the essay is an approach to social collectives as forms of territorialisation and territorial stabilisation. We suggest that an inquiry into the genesis and the transformation of forms through animistic moments might also be employed in the study of an array of processes of social territorialisation. In this article, we look in particular at two examples of the materialisation and animation of social-territorial boundaries: the first relates to the architectural construction of brick arches and walls, while the second relates to urban warfare and the demolition of urban walls.

Territoriology and the study of public place
- 2023
-
Ingår i: The Routledge Handbook of Urban Design Research Methods. - 9780367768058 ; , s. 261-268
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, we present why and how a territorial perspective on urban design and public space can be fruitful. We start by introducing the notion of territoriology, and then go on to present a brief history of how territoriality traditionally has been discussed in relation to urban design, ending with a few examples of some more recent territoriological studies. We then give a few examples of methods and techniques we have used in our own studies, before presenting four methodological themes that we think are important to keep in mind when taking a territoriological perspective on the urban design of public spaces.

Three presents : On the multi-temporality of territorial production and the gift from John Soane
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Time & Society. - 0961-463X. ; 28:1, s. 375-398
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Territoriality has primarily been seen as a spatial rather than temporal phenomenon. In this paper, we want to investigate how time functions in territorialising processes. In particular, we are attracted by the multi-temporality that is co-present in each process of territorialisation (i.e. processes in which time and space are used as means of measure, control and expression). The article is divided into two main parts. In the first part, we draw inspiration from Gilles Deleuze’s book Logic of Sense, as well as from authors such as Simmel, Whitehead, Benjamin and Jesi, in order to articulate three different types of the present (Aion, Kronos and Chronos). In the second part, we move to a short case study of the collector John Soane and the establishment of his house-museum. The case is used to exemplify how these three presents can be used to discuss and temporal aspects of territorialisation in general, and the production of a specific sort of territory – the house-museum as a new building type in particular.
