Description

"This research defines the terms by which narrative can shape places and their perception through the particular lens of the postindustrial, a built condition that evokes uncertainty and troubled reflection within critical theory of the Anthropocene. It examines three case studies tied to themes of aesthetic experience, environmental reform, and social engagement--in France, Germany, and Japan--that have developed or enacted narratives beyond the failure and decline typically associated with such places. Building from that analysis, the work then proposes a speculative framework for a fourth location: Harrisburg, Illinois, which, like many North American postindustrial communities outside the periphery of large metropolitan areas, has continued to struggle toward impactful forms of social, spatial, or cultural renaissance."-- https://commencement.gsd.harvard.edu/thesis2020/portfolio/linda-just/ (Viewed November 24, 2020)
