UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Learning UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Learning, Thinking, and Making the City Together: Graduate Student Educational Encounters with Interdisciplinarity and the City in the New Humanities Los Angeles ßà Shanghai, Mexico City, Tokyo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Jonathan Young Banfill 2020 © Copyright by Jonathan Young Banfill 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Learning, Thinking, and Making the City Together: Graduate Student Educational Encounters with Interdisciplinarity and the City in the New Humanities Los Angeles ßà Shanghai, Mexico City, Tokyo by Jonathan Young Banfill Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Richard Desjardins, Chair This dissertation is a qualitative, ethnographic study of a graduate student interdisciplinary program at a major west coast research university. It focuses on educational encounters that occur between the student members of the program. The program is part of current trends to reinvigorate the humanities through engagement with other professional disciplines. These new areas have been organized around the banner of the new humanities, which often address large-scale, global problems through the creation of new knowledge frameworks and experimental methodologies. The program that was studied combines the humanities with spatial disciplines to understand contemporary cities in Asia Pacific, notably Los Angeles, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Shanghai. This ii dissertation examines the program from an educational standpoint, focusing on the pedagogical processes at work within and the long-term effects that it had on students, including trajectories of research and professional practice, as well as their understanding of contemporary cities. It argues that through a variety of encounters that are structured within the educational space, new interdisciplinary academic identities are created, which last longer than the program itself, spreading into lives and future work. It proposes a pedagogical theory where this happens through a process of collective and collaborative learning, thinking, and making. Empirically, it draws on participant observation from across five program years and follow-up interviews with a wide range of students. iii The dissertation of Jonathan Young Banfill is approved.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Many people to thank in this wide world; you are all people who have helped me navigate both wild and calm seas, the lights guiding this ship home. First, I would like to start by thanking my academic advisor Richard Desjardins for his mentorship and friendship and conversations about academia, the state of the world, and classic rock music at our post-RAC college bar sessions. I will try to be more succinct in future endeavors! My committee members: Douglas Kellner, Edith Mukudi Omwami, Sharon Traweek, and Maite Zubiaurre. Thank you for your support, friendship, and care throughout. Each of you have contributed to this project in a distinct way and have helped me become a better interdisciplinary scholar. Doug: Thanks for always reminding me to center philosophy in education and introducing me to the work of John Dewey (and the story of owning Dewey’s desk). Edith: Thank you for providing a warm presence in the halls of Moore and always advocating for me. Sharon: Thank you for thoughtfulness, understanding of outsider positions, taking the time to have slow and meaningful conversations, and most of all always believing in my work and its place in the academy. Maite: Thank you for the anarchic energy you bring to art and life and scholarship and the wonderful Wall that Gives, I miss our explorations of trash and borderlands. xi A special acknowledgment to John Hawkins, my advisor entering GSEIS who passed away during the dissertation process. I was the last student of his long and distinguished career making educational connections across Asia Pacific. I hope to continue his legacy in the future. Thanks to all at GSEIS including staff, faculty, and administration who have been supportive over the years. Other faculty who made a difference include Rhonda Hammer, who helped me navigate the codes of the institution and always had an ear to listen and time to meet at Canters or the Farmers market. I met some incredible students teaching courses in Education, thank you for what you have taught me. Important comrades in the Education PhD include Michael Moses, Mike Ishimoto, Hui Xie, Abigail Thornton, Xiaopeng Shen, Jungwon Kim, and the all the members of the RAC throughout the years. A big thank you to all the participants of the UCLA Urban Humanities Initiative from the students to the faculty to the collaborative partners in Los Angeles, Shanghai, Mexico City, and Tokyo. As well as to all the people and places we encountered in these cities. Special gratitude to the core faculty: Dana Cuff (for making it all happen), Todd Presner (for your mentorship across the new humanities), Maite Zubiaurre (again), Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, & Jonathan Crisman. And my true “boss” at UHI, and now at Workroom B, Benjamin Leclair-Paquet. Thank you also to the variety of guest faculty and instructors from UCLA and beyond who led workshops, presented work, or accompanied the field trips. Also, everyone at cityLAB. Every UHI student has been important, and your collective spirits have made the project, but a few stand out in helping conceptualize key parts of this dissertation and offered additional critical conversation and insight. These include Cameron Woods Robertson, Fang-Ru Lin, Insky Chen, Peter Sebastian Chesney, Gus Wendel, Maricela Becerra, Leigh-Anna Hidalgo, Angélica xii Becerra, Lucy Seena K. Lin, Kenton Card, Shine Ling, Ariel Hernandez, Jacqueline Jean Barrios, Kenny Wong, Cate Carlson, Andrés Carrasquillo, Nerve Macaspac, Brady Collins, Yang Yang, Maria Francesca Piazonni & Alma Villa.

The United States has followed California’s lead by massively expanding its penal system and radically dismantling its welfare system. The country currently incarcerates not only more people, but also a greater percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. During this same period, increasing numbers of artists have intervened in the spaces between the U.S. prison and welfare systems. San Francisco has served as a crucible for these endeavors, which constitute a defining feature of the emerging field of community-based performance.

The methodology applies a synergy between drawing practice and theoretical writing about urban spaces, regeneration and the city. The project uses the contested regeneration of the Elephant and Castle in south east London as its primary case study. The area has an extensive historical visual record of urban change and redevelopment since the nineteenth century. The thesis integrates current theories and debates on drawing with urban regeneration. It is partly an account of the drawing process, what I have witnessed and how I recorded it, and how this relates to the theoretical aspects of the research. I have interlinked the multi-themed purposes and motivations behind urban regeneration, visual planning and the London imaginary in the thesis. Many aspects of the stages of urban regeneration have been under-observed, and official visual representations by developers and the local council dominate the flow of public information and perception of changes taking place.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Iain Sinclair’s London is a labyrinthine city split by multiple forces deliriously replicated in the complexity and contradiction of his own hybrid texts. Sinclair played an integral role in the ‘psychogeographical turn’ of the 1990s, imaginatively mapping the secret histories and occulted alignments of urban space in a series of works that drift between the subject of topography and the topic of subjectivity. In the wake of Sinclair’s continued association with the spatial and textual practices from which such speculative theses derive, the trajectory of this variant psychogeography appears to swerve away from the revolutionary impulses of its initial formation within the radical milieu of the Lettrist International and Situationist International in 1950s Paris towards a more literary phenomenon. From this perspective, the return of psychogeography has been equated with a loss of political ambition within fin de millennium literature.
