Ep 12: Liminal Narratives: stories of the betwixt and between ft. Ian Rodwell
Manage episode 264681675 series 2711044
In today’s episode I chat to Ian Rodwell the creator of the fantastic liminal narratives blog, which explores the betwixt and between liminal spaces of our world. Ian is a part-time PhD researcher at City University London, and began the blog as a compliment to his studies.
From beaches to train stations, graveyards to corridors, Ian and myself have a chat about the variety of liminal spaces he has explored. We get into the origins of the term ‘liminal’ and how it is used in terms of spaces/places, we look at Marc Augé’s concept of non-places, and chat about why humans feel the need to craft stories around liminal places and breathe life into discarded objects or symbols of the past.
We also touch on the thread of folklore that runs through Ian’s posts, his love of pylons, our changing perceptions of architecture over time and much more!
Basically, if you love the mundane and overlooked places of our world this episode will be right up your street!
