We discussed some ideas on promoting the meetings through social media and email blasts. We also talked about the kinds of tours we should pursue and the best days to schedule them. Angie shared the details of the meeting with the committee and Rifat Salam suggested Big Onion Walking Tours. David, Ricardo, and Angie met again in December and decided on the “Historic Harlem” and “Gay and Lesbian History: Before Stonewall” tours. At that time, we also realized that SSSP had two facebook accounts, which needed to be merged into one. Ricardo further discussed arranging the Maul Girls Reunion Concert. Program: Angie wrote the “Welcome to City” message in late February. The message offered information on popular and lesser known sites in New York City, especially those that might be of interest to conference goers, and highlighted Big Onion Walking tours and sites connected to SSSP’s meetings. Manissa McCleave Maharawal, a CUNY Graduate Center student, wrote a Welcome to the City for graduate students and anyone on a budget. Her message discussed the changes to Times Square over the years and included a detailed list of tasty, inexpensive restaurants and food trucks near the conference hotel as well as dining excursions to Brooklyn.

  • Walking Tours As Narrative Recovering the Spatial and Experiential
    WALKING TOURS AS NARRATIVE: RECOVERING THE SPATIAL AND EXPERIENTIAL DYNAMICS IN THEORIES OF CULTURE JONATHAN R. WYNN CUNY - GRADUATE CENTER [email protected] ABSTRACT Through walking and talking, tour guides weave together an array of stories and facts in order to reproduce the varied urban cultures and local histories of New York. Recent studies of culture have turned to narrative as a powerful way to transcend culture-as-system and culture-as-practice positions to address the circulation of culture but, as the oral and historical components of narrative and culture gain their places in prestigious collections and essays, they avoid the spatial dynamic. This essay offers an empirical reminder of the spaces of narrativity—an ethnographic study of urban characters who use storytelling in the city, tour guides evince the reproduction of the urban landscape, of history, culture, and meaning. In so doing, this talk is aimed at redressing the neglect of experience, engagement, and investigation, and in the end, recall the spatial as a powerful element of narrative, culture, and education. Wynn, J. Page 1 of 15 INTRODUCTION: THE PRESENTATION OF THE CITY So proud of his 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, chief designer and architect Daniel Burnham would personally show dignitaries around through a walking tour of its exhibits and buildings. He had a particular way he felt visitors should experience the main promenade, a patchwork quilt of the world’s cultures, falsity and all. The fair, aimed at overshadowing the 1889 Paris Exposition, served as a storytelling of cultures, a metanarrative of the world. It is interesting that the master architect’s fair-city of over 200 buildings across a square mile, was not enough: compelled as he was, he “sought to orchestrate the journeys so that his friends saw the fair the way he believed it should be seen, the buildings presented from a certain perspective, in a particular order” as to present them in the best possible light (Larson 2003: 253).
