This pres entation examines urban spaces in Olympic-era Tokyo\, both the landscapes that disappeared and the landscapes that emerged. In my larger project\, I am trying to ask (I hope) how we should analyze and historicize these spaces\, how we should make sense of the various economic\, social\, ideo logical and aesthetic priorities that shaped them. Here\, more specifical ly\, I examine the production and representation of streetscapes – a fo cus encompassing both the massive elevated expressways and the renovated\ , repurposed surface streets – and ask how the radically uneven\, profo undly altered conceptualizations of spaces within the city might be under stood within emerging ideas of public space and political action. \; It is a copiously-illustrated talk and is\, in part\, an opportunity to w ork through these knotty ideas on the discourses and practices of civic l ife shaping the built environment and the social production of space in t he 1960s… but it is also an opportunity to engage with some stunning\, fascinating\, and just plain fun images I've accumulated as I've begun wo rk on this project." \; X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

"My talk begins with the 1959 decision to bring the Olympics to Tokyo\, a decision that put in motion a massive project to tear down a nd reconstruct huge portions of the city's built and natural environment. It was a project shaped by concerns both mundane and utopian\, an undert aking fueled by visions of technological possibility and expectations of international scrutiny. This presentation examines urban spaces in Olympi c-era Tokyo\, both the landscapes that disappeared and the landscapes tha t emerged. In my larger project\, I am trying to ask (I hope) how we shou ld analyze and historicize these spaces\, how we should make sense of the various economic\, social\, ideological and aesthetic priorities that sh aped them. Here\, more specifically\, I examine the production and repres entation of streetscapes – a focus encompassing both the massive elevat ed expressways and the renovated\, repurposed surface streets – and ask how the radically uneven\, profoundly altered conceptualizations of spac es within the city might be understood within emerging ideas of public sp ace and political action. \;It is a copiously-illustrated talk and i s\, in part\, an opportunity to work through these knotty ideas on the di scourses and practices of civic life shaping the built environment and th e social production of space in the 1960s… but it is also an opportunit y to engage with some stunning\, fascinating\, and just plain fun images I've accumulated as I've begun work on this project." \;
