Abstract
The panel session will question how a visual, spatial research, might uncover the implications of technological and social change in Norrlands. It will consider how political narratives of the region might be embedded in the space and propose new readings of cause, effect and values associated with relocation.
The subject matter has been selected as an extra-ordinary moment of socio-spatial displacement, through capital investments, where multiple cultural layers are shifted across a landscape through the action of Husflyttningar (House relocation).
3 short dialogue exchanges will consider,
the wider location and context of the global periphery (Arctic region),
Magnus Martensson of Nya Töre Husflyttningar will provide an overview of 400 moves in Norrlands. This will be introduced as one man’s house moving project, a proposed documentation, as a visual map and legend, to analyse a spatial reconfiguration of the region through house relocation. It will also raise questions about forms of knowledge production through a technical analysis of the traditional process of house moving.
The panel aims to bring together the interdisciplinary, architectural historical, art and the visual and a technical analysis to investigate this specific process. It will also discuss a proposal to make a model of the space beneath a house move, using sloyd craft practices and to transport this as part of a public event.
