The Problematics of Representing Sense of Place
Terry Locke
Cultural Studies and Transdisciplinarity in Education
Chapter 7 is entitled "The problematics of representing sense of place". As indicated earlier, this book adopts a critically discursive framework. In terms of such a framework, "representation refers to the language used in a text or talk to assign meaning to groups and their social practices, to events, and to social and ecological conditions and objects" (Wenden, 2005, p. 90). This chapter begins by arguing how acts of representation are always socially situated, discursively shaped, ideologically tinged and seek to position a reader/viewer to sign up to their outlook. These acts draw on a range of representational resources and are frequently multimodal. In subsequent sections, this chapter begins by discussing sense of place as encapsulated in visual art, especially in relation to the various agendas operating in the representation of place, and how these relate to the sorts of dispositions or modes of attachment discussed in Chapter 3. It then shifts to a discussion of sense of place in relation to dance, which focuses specifically on site-based dance and the role it might place in deepening one's sense of place and support a decolonising agenda. Finally, I focus on music and sonic art more generally, discussing ways in which music can enhance sense of place, and then moving on to contemporary music-making practices which espouse environmental discourses and "emplace" composition in ways which enhance a relationship to nature based on partnership ideals.
