Narrating visual landscapes: towards a new approach for the industrial and post-industrial Calder Valley Paper in themed section: The Visual Narrative: Alternative Photographic Exposures. Livingston, Debra (ed.).
2010
Overview
This article examines various landmarks and work spaces in and around the Calder Valley, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire border, as well as an archive of photography relating to them, which are central to the author's research for the Visual Sociology department at Goldsmiths College. Historically, this location is assumed to have moved out of the feudal era, from pre-modernism into modernism - rapid industrialisation - and then on into the post-industrial, post-modern era, via a series of politically-driven industrial retreats. In one sense, this paper sides with 'multiple modernity' thinkers such as Latour and Blumenberg, who outline how 'pre-modern' and 'modern' spaces have previously been thought through in misleading ways. Traces of the 'pre-modern' and 'industrial' remain, and banner headings such as 'post-industrial' are in one sense an attempt to maintain tidy theory. Yet in another sense, a huge question mark still hangs over the entire area due to its undeniable move away from industrial capital into 'post-modern' service economies, economies which themselves have recently been called into question. Further, recent theories of community in a global world, now open to flows of people and information, have made difficult any bounded notion of identity, belonging and place. This paper works through the ways in which identity, community, place and belonging are performative, malleable and constructed. It then asks wider questions about the ways in which both visual practitioners and writers might move towards a new kind of formalism which begins to address some of these very big issues and questions.
