LOCABULARY – A KIND OF DUBITATIVE AND PROVOCATIVE MULTIMEDIA GLOSSARY TO BE WALKED THROUGH AND LIVED IN.
LOCABULARY stems from the need to give a name to the urban experiences and spatial practices stimulated by the SPACEX project.
LOCABULARY is a way of noting and describing the spatial practices that each of the subjects within the SPACEX project experiences and could imagine.
LOCABULARY is a glossary on “loci” with or without “genius”.
LOCABULARY aims at provoking practices and observing their effects rather than cataloguing and prescribing them.
LOCABULARY is conceived as a space to be inhabited: there are streets to walk along, places to stop, squares to discuss, gardens to contemplate, etc.
ROADS are conceptual paths indicated by opposing terms, guiding concepts.
Each POINT on a street can be considered a lemma, i.e. a word or locution.
The PIAZZA is the place to bring one’s own experiences and to propose new ones. A place for discussion and confrontation, in the PIAZZA practices are gathered and proposed to be replicated.
Each LEMMA may include:
• One or more descriptions of a word or expression; Definitions may in fact be multiple and disagree, so it is not certain that a certain term corresponds to a single description.
• Images, videos, audio, links, etc. to provide examples of the concept described.
These may be in-depth studies and examples that already exist or have been collected and produced specifically in the SPACEX network cities.
• Questions and issues that may arise from a given headword.
• The reference to other lemmas linked by opposition or affinity.
The connections are partly determined by the ‘roads’ but the LOCABULARY can function like a rhizome, that is, following a principle of connection and ethereogeneity in which ‘any point of a rhizome can be connected to any other and must be’ (Deleuze-Guattari).
