초록
This article built on the critical architectural geography is an experimental and non-representational attempt to describe ordinary building practices, which take place in Nodeulseom, Seoul, and which defy any analytical generalization. The perspective emerged in the early 2000s by critiquing architectural semiotics ‘new’ cultural geographers pursued. Its advocates are endeavoring to present a variety of ordinary building practices, sidelining from a priori political economic and semiotic representation, The approach helps the researcher avoid any elitist ‘god-eye’ view, and instead explore and participate in the diverse and differentiated intermingling of building and ordinary lives from an on-the-ground perspective. Its association with non-representational perspectives, such as actor-network theory and performativity, also enables the examination of embodied performances and subject formations in relation to the socio-material constitution of architecture. From this perspective, this article describes my ethnographic witnesses of performative and non-performative ordinary building practices at Nodeulseom and their association with subject formations, amidst messy realities. On the basis of the observations, this article reaffirms the value of critical architectural geography in overcoming blindspots in architectural semiotics, and also suggests that it may offer a new lens that Korean urban geographers are able to critically reexamine architectural symbolism, which politicians and design professionals are obsessed with.
Abstract
This article built on the critical architectural geography is an experimental and non-representational attempt to describe ordinary building practices, which take place in Nodeulseom, Seoul, and which defy any analytical generalization. The perspective emerged in the early 2000s by critiquing architectural semiotics ‘new’ cultural geographers pursued. Its advocates are endeavoring to present a variety of ordinary building practices, sidelining from a priori political economic and semiotic representation, The approach helps the researcher avoid any elitist ‘god-eye’ view, and instead explore and participate in the diverse and differentiated intermingling of building and ordinary lives from an on-the-ground perspective. Its association with non-representational perspectives, such as actor-network theory and performativity, also enables the examination of embodied performances and subject formations in relation to the socio-material constitution of architecture. From this perspective, this article describes my ethnographic witnesses of performative and non-performative ordinary building practices at Nodeulseom and their association with subject formations, amidst messy realities. On the basis of the observations, this article reaffirms the value of critical architectural geography in overcoming blindspots in architectural semiotics, and also suggests that it may offer a new lens that Korean urban geographers are able to critically reexamine architectural symbolism, which politicians and design professionals are obsessed with.
