The Digital Salon is a curation of listening experiences brought to you by alumni of the UCLA Urban Humanities Initiative, a collective of interdisciplinary scholars, activists, and artists seeking to blur the boundaries of our respective disciplinary and epistemological habits in architecture, urban planning, and the humanities. This season, we will explore four terms we believe to be at the heart of the modern urban experience:&nbsp; To displace: to force something or someone out of their original place or territory. To emplace: to establish something or oneself in a place To replace: to substitute something or someone for another, often used to refer to infrastructure, populations, or species To misplace: to put in an ‘inappropriate,’ or mistaken position, either literally or metaphorically It is these four terms that inspire this season’s guiding questions: We ask, in an era full of increasing insecurities driven by anthropogenic climate change and late-stage capitalism, how is our understanding of places changing? What does it mean to be in place, out of place, in between places, displaced or misplaced? How are borders moving and transforming? Who and what is being replaced at the level of the human, the plant, the mineral and how are these new divides reshaping the city? How is city planning shifting? In this new world, what should be remembered and what should be forgotten? This season’s episodes are grounded in physical and ephemeral places and they investigate a variety of themes related to memory, heritage, tradition, belonging, alienation, regeneration, reappropriation, and joy—across borders. Episodes explore the porosity and rigidity of the borders of our places—the borders between the human and natural world, the physical and metaphysical, the present and the past, the built and the experienced environment as well as the borders between language and culture, and the ways in which these borders are [dis/em/re/mis] placed. In each episode, our creators use sound in new ways to explore themes of placement. These episodes propose a methodology that takes the ‘sonic’ seriously, reaching beyond language-focused sonic experiences and engaging with sound as a spatial medium of research that allows us to attune to relationalities of placement that we might not have access to otherwise. With this methodology, we ask: what can we learn from listening to the sonic evidence of [dis/em/re/mis] placement and how can listening practices inform our understanding of ourselves and others as we navigate our changing places? This season we explore gender in a Southern California skate park, the role of postcards as propaganda in Russia and Ukraine, the politics of memory and redevelopment in downtown San Diego, the revival of an indigenous community’s ancestral relations with a fungus across the U.S.-Mexico border, the experience of learning an indigenous Mexican language in the high deserts of Salt Lake City, Utah, and manifestations of memorial.&nbsp; Join us as we hear from scholars across disciplinary and geographic borders. We hope you are challenged to think about the role of sound in urban [dis/em/re/mis] placement and how the sounds we hear in our places–our countries, cities, and neighborhoods–shape us, even when we don’t seem to hear them. https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Demon-Hours-at-Eldo Tue, 13 Feb 2024 00:35:56 +0000 Digital Salon Podcast https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Demon-Hours-at-Eldo <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" data-mid="204500545" border="0" data-scale="97" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" /> DEMON HOURS AT ELDO&nbsp; &nbsp; by Dayquan Moeller In this podcast, Dayquan Moeller investigates gender dynamics in skating culture at El Dorado Skate Park in Long Beach. By interviewing queer and femme skaters at the park and organizers of a group that hosts events for women and queer &nbsp;skaters in Santa Ana, Moeller sheds light on the experiences of queer and femme people in building their own communities and making claims to space within the hyper-masculine context of skate parks. <img width="1282" height="762" width_o="1282" height_o="762" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3f4756bae95cc351141de5cfa0b0d8626eb6486bdf33aff870811e53785f5d7/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-9.12.00-PM.png" data-mid="204502018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3f4756bae95cc351141de5cfa0b0d8626eb6486bdf33aff870811e53785f5d7/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-at-9.12.00-PM.png" /> About Our Podcaster: I am a Long Beach-based composer and sound artist whose work takes many forms such as video, installation, happenings, and solo performance. While the medium I use frequently changes, my methods remain the same: I use music, sound, and the spoken word to create sonic meditations on time, space, and everything in-between. <img width="1280" height="1920" width_o="1280" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94c344d47cbad28d57762034b0d54b3417188525ba709072b0fd849fcecf03ea/headshot.jpeg" data-mid="204502217" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/94c344d47cbad28d57762034b0d54b3417188525ba709072b0fd849fcecf03ea/headshot.jpeg" /> https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Huitlacoche Thu, 07 Mar 2024 23:28:48 +0000 Digital Salon Podcast https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Huitlacoche <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" data-mid="206282129" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" /> ON THE DECOLONIZING PATH WITH HUITLACOCHEby Doğa Tekin In this podcast, Doğa Tekin sonically illustrates the work of People of Color Fungi Community, including Mario Ceballos, Cristina Juarez, Magdalena Ramirez, Olympia Beltran, and other organizers and participants in reintroducing huitlacoche to their community. Huitlacoche is a fungus that is entangled in a complex web of social relations—to many Indigenous communities of Turtle Island and Abya Yala, it is an ancestral food; to plant pathologists and industrial agricultural institutions in the U.S. it is Ustilago maydis, a pathogen of corn; to restaurateurs and ‘exotic food’ enthusiasts, it is Mexican truffle or corn caviar, an edible delicacy and cultural food of ‘the other’. By centering the work of Mario and other organizers and community members, this podcast demonstrates some of the consequences of the latter two relationships for diasporic Indigenous communities within the U.S. borders, as well as the importance of POC Fungi Community’s work toward cultural revitalization. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/872fda963c13aebbd6ebcd7ebe5960679d32ad8ba94f1d00e6e229d72988c797/IMG_9704.JPG" data-mid="206282143" border="0" data-scale="99" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/872fda963c13aebbd6ebcd7ebe5960679d32ad8ba94f1d00e6e229d72988c797/IMG_9704.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/139d0bba5ad36cae2705fc6408783f6014e04df61865af383834375290d926f7/IMG_9718.JPG" data-mid="206282175" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/139d0bba5ad36cae2705fc6408783f6014e04df61865af383834375290d926f7/IMG_9718.JPG" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2caad68ba90229eb881c9cc7c5ac2b88d11342a707313e9e9908083d44f0ef09/IMG_9681.JPG" data-mid="206282225" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2caad68ba90229eb881c9cc7c5ac2b88d11342a707313e9e9908083d44f0ef09/IMG_9681.JPG" /> About Our Podcaster: Doğa is an artist, electronic musician, and teacher who creates and builds her work around her relationships with fungi. Currently she is doing a PhD in linguistic anthropology at UCLA. Carried out in collaboration with POC Fungi Community, Doğa’s research focuses on the ideological systems and linguistic processes through which huitlacoche comes to take on different identities, and the decolonizing mechanisms in POCFC’s work toward regenerating ancestral food systems. She is on the editorial board of the Digital Salon Podcast, and an alumna of the Urban Humanities Initiative (2021-22). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="2316" height="3088" width_o="2316" height_o="3088" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d88b858ac896182301dbc03bced5c8d404ba4bb760d35ee21044ef190cd718db/IMG_0684.JPG" data-mid="206282145" border="0" data-scale="70" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d88b858ac896182301dbc03bced5c8d404ba4bb760d35ee21044ef190cd718db/IMG_0684.JPG" /> https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Linguistic-Transplants Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:05:37 +0000 Digital Salon Podcast https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Linguistic-Transplants <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" data-mid="207067448" border="0" data-scale="97" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" /> LINGUISTIC TRANSPLANTS: LEARNING NAHUATL LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH &nbsp; by Rebecca Smith In this podcast, Rebecca Smith interviews students and instructors with the&nbsp;Instituto de Docencia e Investigación Etnológica de Zacatecas who participated&nbsp;in a language intensive at the University of Utah during the summer of 2022.

Building on their prior work documenting the destruction of Horton Plaza, this podcsat seeks to uncover the story behind what they consider a double-homicide on the site on Horton Plaza, a story that they believe will unearth not only questions of money, power, and politics, it will also suggest something that gets at/to the heart of our contemporary society’s struggles with memory and ruins and its trouble with the idea of a future. About Our Podcasters: Jason is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at UCLA. Currently at work on a dissertation that examines the influence and legacy of three transatlantic literary magazines (Buenos Aires and Marseille) during the 1930s and 40s, he has also always been a student of the history and politics of urban space and architecture in the Californias. Philip is an investigative reporter covering environment, energy and public health at inewsource, a non-profit government accountability news platform in San Diego. Salata is a USC Annenberg Fellow and is also a UC Berkeley California Local Reporting Fellow. He has reported on equity and social justice issues in Southern California, especially looking into community stories related to the green energy transition. <img width="2172" height="2474" width_o="2172" height_o="2474" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7545e8cf5541e02a916d1f66ab661265121c8d43ac68eab827ffdc2147b64beb/IMG_0008.jpeg" data-mid="205809203" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7545e8cf5541e02a916d1f66ab661265121c8d43ac68eab827ffdc2147b64beb/IMG_0008.jpeg" /><img width="4672" height="7008" width_o="4672" height_o="7008" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f934603c8591e9ee8a548f6cbbdbc37e8ebfc03ae029be2f6083c0577b4c5583/portrait-inewsource-philip-salata-08-20-2023_light.jpg" data-mid="205809202" border="0" data-scale="51" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f934603c8591e9ee8a548f6cbbdbc37e8ebfc03ae029be2f6083c0577b4c5583/portrait-inewsource-philip-salata-08-20-2023_light.jpg" /> https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Reality-Place-Holder Tue, 13 Feb 2024 01:07:54 +0000 Digital Salon Podcast https://digitalsalonpodcast.org/Reality-Place-Holder <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" data-mid="204501888" border="0" data-scale="97" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a51f39f00f5ab3838335a740a8c3b6d26506432923213c7c357ac57c42df60f1/LOGO-FOR-WEBSITE.png" /> REALITY (PLACE) HOLDERby Lena Pozdnyakova, Eldar Tagi, &amp; Anonymous In the context of the current territorial expansion and geopolitical crisis related to the invasive politics of Russia in Ukraine, various formal (visual and textual) ideological representations embedded in everyday objects suddenly reveal themselves as profoundly instrumental in affecting public opinion in the country and its zones of influence. In this 2-part podcast, Lena Pozdnyakova, Eldar Tagi, and a Russian historian focus on the junction of “dissipated” manipulation and decisive invasion of private space by political agendas and the effects of this transference of roles. These episodes attempt to question the role of such small-scale objects and their formal language in framing a moment of crisis – a moment when the war on Ukraine has polarized the society and has drastically influenced the lives of people in many post-soviet countries employing the popularized and state-infused narratives, or, in other words, through prppaganda. With this central theme, the narrative aims to briefly depict the &nbsp;genealogy of this form of influence on the broader public by zooming in on one of the most sentimental objects at hand - a postcard – the very object we use to “get closer” and stay connected despite the difference in time and space. <img width="2356" height="1630" width_o="2356" height_o="1630" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d28e335acbb9b47534d97d285799408727420b57f7f8cafd4470717b077aa7d9/1987-.jpg" data-mid="204501894" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d28e335acbb9b47534d97d285799408727420b57f7f8cafd4470717b077aa7d9/1987-.jpg" /> <img width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f8a9ad57b5ad8f70c9b2582823418a461bc62060717e05976f598a004a1214d2/2010-.jpg" data-mid="204501896" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/f8a9ad57b5ad8f70c9b2582823418a461bc62060717e05976f598a004a1214d2/2010-.jpg" /> <img width="559" height="800" width_o="559" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2627111d5e910e55dff56651c56724171dc7e3c73d63d2bbfe45937742991ad/1948--.jpg" data-mid="204501891" border="0" data-scale="55" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/559/i/f2627111d5e910e55dff56651c56724171dc7e3c73d63d2bbfe45937742991ad/1948--.jpg" /> <img width="560" height="800" width_o="560" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a6cb14829ad9caac16f0fc9b24927e7f073fe216a55c61d89582846c8a84411c/1966-.jpg" data-mid="204501892" border="0" data-scale="54" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/560/i/a6cb14829ad9caac16f0fc9b24927e7f073fe216a55c61d89582846c8a84411c/1966-.jpg" /> <img width="737" height="1024" width_o="737" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/470ed01baa8e782efba2564d4602c169edf7941eb4dc2fcd19d5dd0c90feb0ef/1975-.jpg" data-mid="204501893" border="0" data-scale="55" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/737/i/470ed01baa8e782efba2564d4602c169edf7941eb4dc2fcd19d5dd0c90feb0ef/1975-.jpg" /> <img width="561" height="800" width_o="561" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/509c7b024a815025a092ce68184b3fd1b219613eca5a08da08355d539a102c2d/1999-.jpg" data-mid="204501895" border="0" data-scale="57" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/561/i/509c7b024a815025a092ce68184b3fd1b219613eca5a08da08355d539a102c2d/1999-.jpg" /> <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb81b6c2cd67b85acc56f2cf403983c281a7d023d0085fb556d382e0e0556cc5/RealityPlaceHolder_Postcards-1-2.jpg" data-mid="204501889" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb81b6c2cd67b85acc56f2cf403983c281a7d023d0085fb556d382e0e0556cc5/RealityPlaceHolder_Postcards-1-2.jpg" /> <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/34892de7e47bd77f216d9cfb8d4dd5540c3915e680eec38a1a3439ed7809ed97/RealityPlaceHolder_Postcards-1-22.jpg" data-mid="204501890" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/34892de7e47bd77f216d9cfb8d4dd5540c3915e680eec38a1a3439ed7809ed97/RealityPlaceHolder_Postcards-1-22.jpg" /> About Our Podcasters: Lena Pozdnyakova is an artist, curator, and researcher from Almaty, Kazakhstan, currently based in Berlin, Germany.

Our theme for this new season is [dis/em/re/mis] PLACE [ment]. In keeping with this theme, we are looking for submissions that engage with the following questions: In an era full of increasing insecurities driven by anthropogenic climate change and late-stage capitalism, how is our understanding of places changing?How are borders moving and transforming?&nbsp; Who and what are being replaced at the level of the human, the plant, the mineral and how are these new divides reshaping the city? How is city planning shifting and how do we decide what to remember and forget in these cities? Some key terms that are connected to our theme are displacement, emplacement, replacement, misplacement as well as dissociation, regeneration, reappropriation, remembrance, and removal. We ask that podcasts be grounded in a place, whether that be material, ephemeral, or both. These podcasts can investigate elements of memory, heritage, tradition, preservation, restitution, belonging, alienation, reimagination, regeneration, recapture, reappropriation, and/or joy across borders—borders between the human and natural world, the physical and metaphysical, the present and the past, the built environment and the experienced environment, and borders between languages, cultures, and places just to name a few. This season, we will be inaugurating a peer review process for all podcasts, which we hope will benefit both our peer reviewers and our contributors. There will be six peer reviewers from varied urban humanities communities (academia, arts, and planning), who will provide rich and nuanced feedback for each contributor. Each contributor will be required to submit an initial proposal and two subsequent drafts to peer reviewers (two reviewers will review each step of this process). We ask that you envision your podcast episode to be 20-30 minutes in length. To help accompany our contributors, the editorial board will run two podcast workshops: one on narrative and one on sound planned for March of 2023. Completed podcasts will be expected by the end of May, 2023. Season 3 will be released in June 2023. If you are interested in submitting to the podcast, please send your application to the Digital Salon Editorial Board at ucladigitalsalon@gmail.com by January 31st. Your submission should include: A 1 page single-spaced abstract about your vision for your 20-30 minute podcast that will be completed by the end of May, 2023 that focuses on the themes of Digital Salon’s 3rd season.&nbsp; EITHER a 2 minute demo OR a storyboard of your intended podcast. Your storyboard or demo should communicate a proposed structure for your podcast, what kinds of sound recordings you will be using, how you will balance narrative and experimental forms, and anything else that will give us a sense of your plans for the final podcast. We suggest Audacity, Soundation, or GarageBand for a demo and Miro for storyboarding software. Collectively, these components should demonstrate: a. You have a clear vision for your podcast. b. You will be able to execute the podcast. c. Your podcast will fit the thematic, theoretical, and methodological criteria we have outlined above. We look forward to collaborating with you!
