ESRC Research Seminar Series: Rethinking the Urban Experience: the Sensory Production of
Place
30 - 31 January 2008
University of Salford
30th January: Seminar Four: Senses and the rhythms and temporalities of the city seeks to
explore how the sensual experience of the city is shaped by rhythm and temporality.
Presentations explore the rhythms and sensations of bicycle and bus travel, the sensual
rhythms of specific locales, the rhythms of urban advertising and attempts to install
slower rhythms in place.
31st January: Seminar Five: Senses in transition: mobility in the city looks at the
various ways in which technologies and modes of moving through the city produce particular
sensual experiences. The seminar includes presentations which focus on mobile
soundscapes, rail travel, and the distinct mobilities of the amusement park.
We welcome postgraduate students, academics and interested practitioners
