The research takes place in the context of contested urban space in Holbeck, Leeds one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the U.K. Through a reiterative and reflexive process of extensive interviewing, soundwalking and field recording the area is deep mapped and material gathered in order to produce a percipient led site- specific presentation of oral history I term 'phonoscape'. Although the technology exists to connect oral history to place via locative media within a database aesthetic, a practical and conceptual gap is identified between these technologies for those working with audio interview material. In this context a purpose-built app is developed to enable oral history audio archives to be distributed geospatially, becoming navigable aurally on foot. In order to distribute a polyvocal sampling of an archive in time-space, techniques and principles from contemporary sound art are introduced, in particular a form of field composition involving an understanding of constitutive silence, soundscape, and voice editing techniques. Research into contemporary audio walk and memoryscape practice confirms that non-linear, fragmented narrative forms are used the construction of polyvocal understandings of place, and this is taken forward within a conception of the embodied hypertextual affordance of locative technology. The findings are then brought together in a transdisciplinary manoeuvre that introduces Displacement Activities, a translocational form of site-specific participatory performance art, providing a public vehicle that draws attention to phonoscape, its oral history content, and the archive itself. As an open work that is generative and reflexive, Displacement Activities extend the notion of site-specificity, finding global analogues before returning to the original site to begin the work again. 3 4 Acknowledgements This research would have been impossible to undertake without a generous award from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Also the University of Huddersfield has provided crucial funding enabling me to extend my engagement with fellow researchers at home and abroad. My sincere thanks to my main supervisor Prof. Paul Ward who has been unwavering in his patience and support throughout the work, and to my second supervisor Dr. Rupert Till who provided inspirational and timely advice whenever things looked as though were about to fall apart. I would also like to thank my examiners Dr. Rob Ellis and Prof. Mike Pearson for their helpful advice and comments, and for their willingness to brave the wind and rain of Holbeck exploring the phonoscape. I am very grateful to friend and colleague Phil Legard of Leeds Beckett University who developed the LOAM app, without which the phonoscape might never have been realised. I would also like to thank Graham Smith and fellow oral historians at the Oral History Society who have provided much help and advice when needed. Also I am grateful to Dr. Stephen High and my friends and colleagues at Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia who introduced me to some of the fascinating inter-disciplinary projects going on over in Canada. I would like to thank the whole crew who made the 2011 world premiere of Displacement Activities at Leeds Light Night such an incredible success. This was a major turning point in the research process. Thank you Layla Legard, Seth Cooke, Mark Shahid, Robert John Lee, Helen McDonald, Emily Clavering-Lee, Anzir Boodoo, and Stu Bannister & James Islip from Lumen. Also for their endless inspiration and assistance in the translocational Florentine Displacement, a special thanks to Greta Grendaite, Pamela Barberi, Guy Wouete, Pietro Gaglianò, and Marina Bistolfi and everyone who made it possible. The work has relied on many friends, colleagues and fellow artists along the way, and I am extremely grateful for their help and encouragement, in particular Toby Butler, Graeme Miller, Jeremy Hight, Jeff Knowlton, Teri Rueb, Jason Farman, Alex Harker, Martin Howse, Derek Hayles, Jackie Calderwood, Ross Kinghorn, Tim Waters, and Silvie Fisch deserve special mention. I would like to single out sound artist Phill Harding, who has become a true friend over the years it has taken to complete the work, provided calmness and advice to get me through some of the most difficult tiimes. Phill’s engagement with Displacement Activities 2011, and John Cage 4'33" ~ M621 Underpass has become part of my own place memory, the stuff of legend. I would like to thank all the people in Holbeck who were involved in the project either directly or indirectly. In particular, in the early stages Steve Ross at the Dewsbury Road One-Stop Centre, and local resident and blogger Steve Peacock opened up many avenues for fruitful research. Also Susan Williamson, temporary guardian of Temple Works, opened the way to unprecented opportunities for field recording and interviewing in and around that strange and wonderful building. I would like to express my eternal gratitude for the generosity of the sixty-four interviewees who shared their thoughts and precious memories so freely, without which nothing would have been possible. I am grateful to my children Josh and Anna for their good humour and assistance throughout this extremely long and gruelling process, and for putting up with me when I have ventured into sub- human territory. Finally, there is no way this work would have been completed without the love, encouragement and support of my wife Sally. Thank you. 5 6 To the past, present and future people of Holbeck 7 8 List of Contents CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ................................................................................ 15 CHAPTER 2 INTRODUCING HOLBECK AND ORAL HISTORY ........................... 26 2.1 HOLBECK HISTORY AND CONTEXT ...................................................................... 30 2.1.1 A VANISHING ORAL HISTORY 32 2.1.2 EXISTING HISTORY OF HOLBECK 36 2.1.3 FOLLOW THE BECK: DEEP MAPPING THE WATER AND GEOLOGY OF HOLBECK 41 2.1.4 HOLBECK’S THREE ZONES 47 Residential Holbeck .............................................................................................................................. 48 Transitional Holbeck .............................................................................................................................

    Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA Thursday 11 January 2018 Dear Mr Hancock. RE – Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund consideration, Bradford Odeon My name is Si Cunningham, and I am the Chair of Bradford Civic Society. Since 1942, our group has existed to preserve Bradford’s heritage and promote a more beautiful built environment for the city. Bradford has suffered setbacks and economic hardships over the last few decades, yet when I took over as Chairman last year I made a pledge to look to the future and identify opportunities for tangible, positive change. That’s why I’m writing to you today – to urge the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to award the shortlisted Bradford Odeon project the maximum possible funding from the Government’s Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund. This project will provide the West Yorkshire region with a flagship 4,500 capacity venue capable of hosting a variety of cultural attractions, bringing families back into our city centre and acting as a much-needed catalyst for wider regeneration – as restaurants, hotels and cafes open in the area. Complementing the Alhambra Theatre, National Science and Media Museum, and the magnificent City Hall, the Odeon could become the city’s iconic fourth grace – all framed beautifully by that world-renowned shared space of ours, City Park. Furthermore, a rejuvenated Bradford Odeon will be symbolic of the city’s rebirth as a cultural powerhouse and will inspire a whole new generation of Bradfordians – from all backgrounds – to immerse themselves in the creative industries.
