Description

This elective explores mobile landscapes through a framework of speculative cartography and narrative fabulation. Working with a range of experimental mapping and writing exercises that respond to contemporary ecological and atmospheric conditions of dust storms, smoke clouds, oil plumes and meteor showers, students develop projects in the form of speculative cartographies and narrative writing. This elective looks at ‘fieldwork’ as a dynamic process of charting shifting material, social, and spatial arrangements to create a reimagining of landscapes through their instabilities.

During this class students are taken through a variety of analytical and sensory approaches to writing and mapping, where narrative offers both a method of observing changing landscape conditions and also a model for producing landscape imaginaries through text and image. This approach is supplemented with deep scientific and ecological research of each geography.
