Field trip archive 

Part 2. During the field trip, using any appropriate media (such as your cellphone, a camera, or even pen and paper!) students from each campus will collectively gather and then “archive” records of their field trip on the appropriate field trip wiki of the Moodle site. Students on each campus will thus have access to this archive of records of each other’s field trip experiences. Slide4

who gets to be commemorated by a street name and why(Edit)

Such an example could be

Piroska

Szalmas

, a member of

the

workers’ movement, choir conductor and composer,

after

whom a street was named,

which

was changed during this summer so that

the

street now bears a right-wing male writer’s name.

Interestingly

enough residents of the street

crossed

out the name of the writer and reclaimed the old street name

through

what can be called an act of public disobedience. Slide6

What’s Not Here (Stephen)"I'm standing where my living room was and it's not here because my house is gone and it's an Ultimart! You can never go home again, Oatman

...but I guess you can shop there."

John Cusack in

Grosse Point Blank

You can't pray there,

but I guess you can rent a room there. Slide7

You can't live in a tenement home again, but you can shop there.Slide8

You can't go to a porn theater again, but you can listen to live music there.Slide9

“Notes from a Neighborhood Tour”

(Ellen)

Today

,

a tour of my own new neighborhood

, and some of this I've heard before, especially in those early days when I first moved to the Twin Cities and wanted to know everything at once about every new place I wandered …

The man who always waves to me doesn't sit on his front porch anymore.

I think it's too cold now, but maybe he's watching from inside the house, wondering when I too will give in to the cold and shut away the bike for winter.

Slide10

The layers of the present are here, too, the people we intersect and pass, who step around or through our group … [My] notes are traces of a field trip, really.

I am interested, in part, in strangers coming into the neighborhoods of the past/present to study them, and here I am, standing in a group of strangers who've come here to learn about, to archive this neighborhood. It is a different understanding of a place than the

quotidien

daily life of a neighborhood resident, I think.

Slide11

… the more I see it, the more I learn about the neighborhood, I see also that I remain partially on the surface, and that the neighborhood is just a place I'm walking through, as so many others have done, as so many others will do, without leaving any trace at all.Slide12
