| Abstract | How one conceptualizes place in research matters. I offer a ‘line analysis’ informed by Ingold’s idea that places are ‘tissues of lines’ and argue that this enables reflexivity with regards to what counts as ‘place’, adds legitimacy to the claim that places really do matter in research, and assists in representing places as a socio-natural phenomenon that cannot be compartmentalized or reduced to a humanist understanding of the social. I trial this analysis by drawing upon interviews and focus groups with people living in the vicinity of the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona). I use references made about lines of various kinds to create a narrative that locates Mona within the everyday lives of local residents. I conclude that this museum’s impact of is more mundane than the social transformation envisaged in the Bilbao Effect as this ‘effect’ relies upon a problematic and unexamined conceptualisation of place. © 2017, © The Author(s) 2017. |
I offer a line analysis informed by Ingolds idea that places are tissues of lines and argue that this enables reflexivity with regards to what counts as place, adds legitimacy to the claim that places really do matter in research, and assists in representing places as a socio-natural phenomenon that cannot be compartmentalized or reduced to a humanist understanding of the social. The popularity of MONA -for art music markets and events for locals and tourists alike - brings quite literally lines of people and vehicles into the local community. However as in the social sciences more generally places struggle to find a place in the literature of cultural-led effect and impact. Through one measure for example Macclesfield is identified as lacking cultural assets such as a theatre music venue arts festival and organizations in receipt of government arts funding and is thus conceived as a cultural desert and in a sense lifeless in the face of a supposed lack of arts and culture. Undertaking a line analysis of a place-based social phenomenon provides signposts for a line methodology and can contribute to the advancement of research in which place matters.
