Episodes | The Geographical Imaginations Expedition & Institute https://www.geographicalimaginations.org Exploring the Geographies of Everything & Nothing Sat, 26 Oct 2019 22:54:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 https://i0.wp.com/www.geographicalimaginations.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/cropped-GI_Favicon2.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1 Episodes | The Geographical Imaginations Expedition & Institute https://www.geographicalimaginations.org 32 32 The Geographical Imaginations Expedition & Institute is a growing multi-media public geography initiative designed to bring together academic and everyday geographical, or spatial, thinking. We believe everybody is a geographer and a co-maker of spaces. As an inquiry-based project, we ask questions and explore themes through dialogues with different texts and voices. Inevitably, our explorations return to simple, yet complex, questions. How does ________ inform the way I picture the world in my head? How does that picture, in turn, limit or expand my place in the world?<br /> <br /> The main focus of the project is an hour-long radio essay program broadcast monthly from Radio Fabrik in Salzburg, Austria. We call it, "Geographical Imaginations: Radio Expeditions into the Geographies of Everything and Nothing." In each episode we make brief expeditions into the geographies of everything and nothing. We reflect upon our relationships with the worlds we inhabit and co-create. While many of the episodes deal with local and regional topics, themes are somewhat universal and our investigations could inform the geographical imaginations of those living anywhere in the world.<br /> <br /> The show is hosted and produced by Kevin S. Fox (www.ksfox.org), a cultural geographer from Connecticut. Kevin S. Fox | Cultural Geographer false episodic Kevin S.

We call EPISODE THIRTY-NINE Dar City Geographies. Joining us is geographer Dr. Sarah Smiley from Kent State University who discusses a wide range of themes all related to the Tanzanian super-city, Dar es Salaam.  We discuss the legacy of historical segregation policies on the urban landscape; the improvements made to the transport infrastructure in this rapidly growing city; and how different it is for residents to fetch water across the different districts of this city. Check us out this Saturday (Feb. 24) at 9:06 PM (Dar es Salaam), 7:06 PM (Madrid), and 1:06 PM (New York)at Radio Fabrik.  As always, all episodes are uploaded to the website archive after initial broadcast.  Look for EPISODE THIRTY NINE here.

In “Piece by Piece,” we sit down with Rukia Hatibu, aka The Annoyin’ Artist, to discuss the importance of making public our ideas, stories and “pieces.”  It is not enough to ask questions about who we are.  What is vital is having an actual place to do it.  Her evening forum helps showcase different voices and provides a space for personal poetic development.  As if that was not enough, Rukia also discusses her new initiative, AIDIM, that seeks to bring out this same development in school children.  (Photo by Sonia Ibáñez)

EPISODE THIRTY SEVEN: Zanzibar, or the Last Reason https://www.geographicalimaginations.org/2017/12/17/episode-thirty-seven-zanzibar-or-the-last-reason/ Sun, 17 Dec 2017 06:04:51 +0000 http://www.geographicalimaginations.org/?p=1150

 

EPISODE THIRTY SEVEN marks the beginning of Season Four and our first show from Tanzania in East Africa.  This episode first airs from Radio Fabrik in Salzburg, Austria on Saturday, December 23 at 7:06 PM local time.

“Zanzibar, or the Last Reason,” translated from the German, “Sansibar oder der letzte Grund,” is a novel by Alfred Andersch where one of the protagonists (a boy) daydreams the far away Zanzibar from his small hometown in Germany.  Maybe a bad case of fernweh, this island in his mind is actually located in the Indian Ocean, but it is less a concrete goal than the utopian place of a better future.  Water temperature: 30 degrees Celcius.  (Photo by Sonia Ibáñez)

Special thanks to Julia Mia Stirnemann from EPISODE TWENTY SEVEN for sharing the book title and, in the end, helping frame this radio expedition.  Danke!

In “La Arquitecta” we explore the resonance of spaces and (other) feminist perspectives on urban design with German-born architect Chris Heidrich.  The show returns to Cuba (see EPISODE 32) to raise questions about who designs the city.  Heidrich discusses her current project, Female Architects in the Urban Renewal of Old Havana, and reveals some of her own process in interpreting spaces.  EPISODE THIRTY SIX marks the end of Season 3 and the close, for now, of the Mitteleuropa explorations.  This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on October 28th at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York).  Photo by Mileyra Pavel.

We finish our summer reading of C.C. Long’s “Home Geography” in EPISODE THIRTY FIVE.  Lessons 33 through 45 round out this primer for developing our own geographical imaginations.   Long reminds us, “All around are illustrations of lake and river, upland and lowland, slope and valley. These forms must be actually observed by the pupil, mental pictures obtained, in order that he may be enabled to build up in his mind other mental pictures of similar unseen forms.”   This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on September 23rd at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York).

In EPISODE THIRTY FOUR we pick up from where we left off in C.C. Long’s classic text, “Home Geography for Primary Grades.”  Starting with Lesson 18, “How Rivers Are Made,” and finishing with Lesson 32, “Useful Plants,” Long continues to impress upon us the need “to study that small part of the earth’s surface lying just at our doors.”  Read along and design your own local expeditions.  This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on August 26th at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York).

Welcome to our inaugural summer reading series.  Listen to EPISODE THIRTY THREE as we explore C.C. Long’s 1894 classic primary school text.  In “Home Geography,” Dr. Long tells us, “A knowledge of the home must be obtained by direct observation; of the rest of the world, through the imagination assisted by information. Ideas acquired by direct observation form a basis for imagining those things which are distant and unknown.”     This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on July 22nd at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York).

What comes to mind when someone says, “CUBA?”  Classic automobiles, Buena Vista, Che?  Maybe you envision a socialist utopia with free, universal healthcare and education?  Or a maybe a communist dystopia with all of its problems?  In EPISODE THIRTY TWO we invite geographer Johnny Finn to discuss US American geographical imaginations of this large Caribbean island and unpack the various narratives that inform how we arrive to Cuba in our minds.  This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on June 24th at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York).

Forget about trying to understand 7.5 billion people. What if the world was a village of 100–each member of that community representing 1% of the world population? Joining us is Lisa Frank of the 100 People Foundation as we talk about statistics and the impact they have on the geographical imagination.

Brian Harley.   Join us for an episode-long conversation with Denis Wood as we explore Google Maps, critical cartography, the geo-body, Winnie the Pooh and Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Geographical Imaginations was recently included on Fräulein Flora’s list of Top 5 favorite radio shows broadcasting from Radio Fabrik, our home station here in Salzburg.  As you will remember from EPISODE FOUR “Little Stories” Fräulein Flora’s Favourite Hangouts started as an alternative mapping guide of Salzburg’s little known hangouts and spots found off the normal tourist route.  Flora was literally mapping out the stories and anecdotes of this city for both the newcomer and native to include on their mental map of Salzburg.  After months and months of hard work and commitment to their vision Eva Krallinger and Matthias Gruber–and Flora, of course–now frame and shape a diversified and eclectic way of knowing the City of Mozart through an extended online presence that includes hundreds of tips for things to do here.  Their project offers up a fresh geographical imagination for a city with so much tradition.  For the entire article and their website click here.

This is a look at the many geographies produced by an anthropomorphic goat-man.  Trust me, it is exciting!  This Saturday, November 28th on Radio Fabrik.  As always, 7:06 PM Salzburg, Austria time and 1:06 PM New York.
