“…Central to my investigation is the idea that places become localities through social, sometimes antagonistic, processes of meaning ascription. As Stewart and Dickinson (2008: 299) note, locality ‘is a performative, a speech act, an enunciation rather than an ontology. Locality is created precisely through the citational practices of enunciation.’ Locality ‘is the assertion of the image of place’ (2008: 299).…”

Unrealized architecture is culturally significant. Although they remain imaginary, unrealized buildings happen to a community, often leaving unintended material and social traces. This article argues that unbuilt projects contribute actively to the production of locality and the meaning of neighborhoods and institutions. Drawing on theoretical investments from Appadurai and Yaneva, this article analyzes motifs of locality and globality in long-lasting controversies surrounding two unrealized Japanese-designed extension projects to European museum buildings: the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern in Valencia. The analysis demonstrates that despite their spectacular confrontations, supporters and opponents in both cases shared similar notions of the affected neighborhoods and museums as meaningful social and cultural spaces. The controversies revolved around whether or not the Japanese-designed expansions would violate or reawaken perceived local energies and qualities. Engaging a little-studied dimension of cultural globalization, the article asks: what sort of locality emerges from unmaking globality-inflected monumental architecture?

“…Human geographers maintain that built and natural environments evoke meanings to audiences that are based, in part, on a combination of cultural influences, including politics, economics, and human interactions within environments (Cloke et al, 2004; Gould and White, 1993; Shumow, 2012; Wood, 2010). These scholars do not ignore that environments hold intrinsic features, such as weather, seasons, and topographies; rather, they suggest that an environment’s characteristics are interpreted through social and cultural production – and that dominant culture forms a host of explanations related to geographical elements from which one can choose as a means to interpret a particular location (Caquard, 2011; Dickinson, 2006; Monmonier, 1996; Stewart and Dickinson, 2008). Critical geographers extend their inquiry about one’s experiences with a location – and, to some extent, with dominant, mediatized characterizations of space and place – to unveil the socio-political elements of how dominant interpretations of geography benefit power structures.…”

This article turns to Miami, Florida’s (USA) Upper Eastside – an eclectic stretch of about 20 city blocks in one of the nation’s ‘global cities’ – for a critical visual analysis that uses mapping and photography to explore how neoliberalism is communicated. With an approach that considers geography as a visual ‘vernacular landscape’, this research further supports the role of visual communication as a means to reveal deeper meanings of geography, particularly in terms of identifying ideological qualities of the neoliberal project that are often hidden in plain view. The authors’ photographs and maps supply data for this article, which are then read through the process of ‘geosemiotics’.

Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies

This special issue examines intersections between qualitative and rhetorical inquiry through (re)introducing rhetorical fieldwork. We define rhetorical fieldwork as a set of approaches that integrate rhetorical and qualitative inquiry toward the examination of in situ practices and performances in a rhetorical field. This set of approaches falls within the participatory turn in rhetorical studies, in which rhetorical scholars increasingly turn to fieldwork, interviews, and other forms of participatory research to augment conventional methodological practices. The special issue highlights four original articles that employ, exemplify, and reflect on the value of rhetorical fieldwork as a form of critical/cultural inquiry. In this introduction, we not only introduce the key themes and articles in the special issue but also compile our take on the state of the art of rhetorical fieldwork in an effort to introduce this form of research practice to those who have not encountered it before.
