Disrupting the Picturesque: Performing Dorothy Wordsworth's 1803 Tour Through Scotland

利用让Lyotard的荒凉景观的理论和jean - luc南希的毫无根据的形象,这个项目将执行关键时刻从多萝西华兹华斯的苏格兰之旅(1803)。我特别关注的是，在18世纪风景如画的运动中，美学和视角如何继续划定土地和权力的界限。我将发展新的表演策略和理论框架，以行走和重演为基础，用“崇高”的人物填充华兹华斯的“风景”，以质疑风景如画的价值；创造可选择的、交叉的方式来感知和联系景观，以提供不同的未来。

Drawing on Jean-Francois Lyotard's theory of 'desolate landscape' and Jean-Luc Nancy's 'groundless image', this project will perform key moments from Dorothy Wordsworth's tour of Scotland (1803). In particular I am concerned with how aesthetics and perspective in the picturesque movement of the eighteenth century continue to delineate the boundaries of land and power. Developing new performative strategies and theoretical frameworks rooted in walking and re-enactment, I will populate Wordsworth's 'landscape' with 'sublime' figures to problematise the values of the picturesque; creating alternative, intersectional ways of perceiving and relating to landscape in order to offer different futures.
