Between 18 - 25 April, Emma Cocker, Cordula Daus, Andrea Coyotzi Borja, Lena Séraphin and Paula Urbano were in Granada, Spain, undertaking research activities linked to the project, transitory writing in no one’s lands. We were facilitating a week-long research workshop in transitory writing in no one's land with researchers at the Facultad de CC. de la Educación | Universidad de Granada: Jorge Torrado Sanchez; Liliana Otero Caneodo; Karen Sofía Vinueza Chávez; Romina Vera Barriga; Ángela Barrera García; Luca Raven Flynn; Jaime Mena de Torres; Carolina Roboyo Flores; Carmen González

 

 

 transitory writing in no one’s land explores how the relational aspects of collective writing and the formation of shared spaces of attention might create conditions for the emergence of inclusive in-between spaces or no one’s lands. 

* Through developing and testing various embodied, corporeal, sensorial, and collaborative approaches, we advocate the transformative capacity of language-based artistic research for cultivating new “ecologies of attention” (Yves Citton, 2017), exploring the critical potentiality of our “linguistic bodies” (Ezequiel Di Paolo, Elena Cuffari, and Hanne De Jaegher, 2018).

 

Research Arc: An arc unfolds over a number of days moving from:

(1) Attention/Spatiality (focus on individual exercises);

(2) Shift towards Multi-sensorial and listening, beginning to open into shared attention;

(3) Towards the potential of joint attention/the intersubjective/no one’s land, reflecting our research engagement, shift towards ‘collective sensemaking’ and the notion of linguistic bodies constituted through shared utterances’.
