From The Podcast

"Why should the study of the banal itself be banal? Are not the surreal, the extraordinary, thesurprising, even the magical, also part of the real? Why wouldn’t the concept ofeverydayness reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary?" - Henri Lefebvre.York is a city designed, re-designed, built, and re-built over thousands of years. Historicalperiods collide on almost every street. Plans, rules, environmental change and economiccircumstances continue to shape our urban landscape, but the more distant futures weimagine for York change over time too. In this guided podcast trail, Sarah Lohmann of Durham University and Adam Stock of York StJohn University discuss utopian visions, science fiction and the imagination in locationswhile exploring the city centre of York. Delving into their research in utopia and dystopia,they look again at the everyday to examine some of the extraordinary, surprising, magical –and sometimes terrifying – elements we often overlook.
