Methods of Investigation _ Written Response (Text Version)
Georges Perec narrates in Species of Spaces and Other Places (1974) , “There isn’t one space…” (1974, 5p) instead, he pointed out that “There’s a whole lot of small bits of space…” (1974, 6p). By illustrating, enumerating and thorough detecting, Perec expands the definitions of the space numerously.
There’s nothing, for example , to stop us from imagining things that are neither towns nor country side (not suburbs), or Métro corridors that are at the same time public parks. (1974, 5p)
According to Perec’s impression, he consistently concentrates on such places from small to big, private bed to public while exhaustive and intensive investigating.
In a sum of forward contentions, It is likely that such space does not own one specific connotation, which considerably corresponded with the foundation theme of my investigation at the bus stop.
In agreement with Marc Augé’s Non-places introduction to an anthropology of supermodernity (1995) , asserts, non-places, meaning spaces which are not themselves anthropoidlogical places.
In conjunction with Perec’s notion, it provided inspirational developments to my investigations that how people leave marks and damage signs at the public spaces when it comes to reflecting their own subject meaning in non-places.
In additional , invasion of space by text (1995, 99p) , related into the detections, providing the insights of the matter of exploring variety of signs and marks leads me to provoke the ideas related to people who created them but also contemplating about the informations’ attribute by contrasting them. What is the effect that one sign is providing to the other? What if one signal got damaged cause by another mark, does that signal become a mark and lose oneself’s nature.
“Distortion” encouraged by forward insights was the vital method of the whole investigation, in terms of form, followed Agnès Varda, The Gleaners and I (2000).
She targeted in ‘gleaning’ maintaining the whole context either the flow. Initial experiments of the logos followed the way of reproducing gleaning by the director. And designating coming across the antique shop on the high way is also gleaning, The Gleaners and I (2000) inspires the whole process of investigation is gleaning which my exploring took references as a methodology, distortion itself as a entire process.
Targeting distorting, leaded this investigation to detect the usages of informations and their abandons. By analysing the change of intention when put into production of the public datas which shown as distortion in this investigation and the gap between actual people’s behaviour at the bus stop could figure out what kind of figures actually people take.
