This book is an anthology of the varied strategies of spatial
transgressions and how they have been implemented through the arts
as a means to resist, rejuvenate, reclaim, critique or cohabitate.
The book is divided into two sections - Displacements and
Disruptions. The first section discusses the ramifications of the
spatial displacements of bodies, organizations, groups of people
and ethnicities, and explores how artists, theorists and arts
organizations have an attentive history of revealing and reacting
to the displacement of peoples and how their presence or absence
radically reconfigures the value, identity, and uses of place. In
the second section, each author considers how aesthetic strategies
have been utilized to disrupt expected spatial experiences and
logic. Many of these strategies form radical alternative
methodologies that include transgressions, geographies of
resistance, and psychogeographies. These spatial performances of
disruption set into motion a critical exchange between the subject,
space and materiality, in which ideology and experience are both
produced/spatialized and deconstructed/destabilized.
This book explores a type of wandering referred to as "errant
bodies." This form of wandering is intentional, without specific
destination, and operates as a means of resistance against
hegemonic forms of power and cultural prescriptions. Beginning with
an examination of the character and particulars of being an errant
body, the book investigates historical errant bodies including
Ancient Greek Cynics, Punks, Baudelaire, Situationists, Earhart,
Kerouac, Fuller, Baudrillard, Hamish Fulton, and Keri Smith. Being
an errant body means stepping to the side of dominant culture,
creating a potential means of political resistance in the
technologically driven twenty-first century.
