A supplemental reading list is available at aaaarg.org.

How do we use our sense of smell to map our spatial and psychological coordinates? For example - how is smell used to mark spatial territories? What is the role of scent in constructing sociological histories (narratives of hygiene, class order, disease etc)? And how do we use smell to construct our social and private identities? Smell is one of the senses most strongly tied to memory - given the immediacy of the sense, how do we understand the temporality of smell?

All sessions of The Page + The Screen are FREE.
The first session of The Page + The Screen will be taught by Caleb Waldorf of The Public School Los Angeles (and Triple Canopy). Since this class is somewhat sprawling, and will include a number of sessions over the next couple of months, the first session will be structured loosely, providing us with an opportunity to talk about our various interests and concerns in relation to the subject matter and how the rest of the sessions might be planned accordingly.

Welcome TPS Helsinki! So happy to see this class re-proposed. Thanks, hyksos. I'm just signing up to see how this progresses. We, at TPSNY, will soon be posting information about the individual classes in this series. Cheers!

Organized by Kazys Varnelis, the Director of the Network Architecture Lab at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, the discussions are based on the issues covered in his book, Networked Publics.

more..Texts + Textures is a workshop that will explore writing as social practice. The site of exploration will be the New York metropolitan area. For our investigations, we will apply methods of research and inquiry from fields such as anthropology, sociology, philosophy, art, architecture, and design. Theory from the various disciplines will be used to help frame our narratives. Issues that may be examined include agency/authority (e.g. writing in the city vs. writing about the city), community, participation, collaboration, and social change. All participants are encouraged to use different literary genres via multiple platforms. The workshop will take a multimedia approach which may include the combination of text, drawings, still images, video, and sound.
An update: We do plan to organize this class but teachers and schedules are yet to be determined.
