Geographies of Impulse: a study of individuals with Tourettes Syndrome and the embodied experience of public space

本研究旨在探讨妥瑞氏症患者的具身经验如何体验他们所处的世界，并考虑到现有的关于身体、空间、地点和情感的后现象学文献。它将使用跨学科的方法来挑战和发展文化地理学中对人体的基本理解，但实施了一个Tourettic透镜。这一妥瑞氏症的透镜将被应用于现有的身体理论、身份建构理论和情感理论。通过应用这一透镜，研究神经多样性和冲动性的新途径将在地理学上考虑情感、空间、地点和身体。提供了一个研究异常脚本机构的基础，该项目还寻求探索慈善组织和媒体内TS代表性的问题，推动真正的第一手妥瑞氏症叙述，尊重地提高了妥瑞氏症社区的声音。

This project aims to inquire into how the embodied experience ofindividuals with Tourettes Syndrome (TS) experience the world inwhich they find themselves, taking into account existing postphenomenologicalliteratures regarding the body, space, place andaffect. It will use an interdisciplinary approach to challenge andevolve foundational understandings of the human body withinCultural Geography, but implementing a Tourettic lens. ThisTourettic lens will be applied in its approach to existing theories ofthe body, identity construction, and affect. By applying this lens, newavenues for the study of neurodiversity and impulsivity withingeographical consideration of affect, space, place and the body willarise. Providing a foundation from which to research abnormallyscripted bodies, the project also seeks to explore issues surroundingthe representation of TS within charitable organisations and withinthe media, pushing for genuine first-hand Tourettic narratives in away that respectfully raises the voices of the Tourettic community.
