A Creative Response to Raymond Williams as Psycho-Geographer

In this presentation we consider how place and time were significant to Raymond Williams. In particular, Aled Singleton and Jon Gower pick elements of Border Country to explore how the structure of feeling concept is applied to capture the specificity of everyday life.
Performance artist Marega Palser gives short responses to a dialogue between Jon and Aled. We hope that the event inspires people to consider walking and site-specific performance as a means for future creative research.
