Incomplete Cartographies

Antonia Dawes and Ed Wall led a workshop for the 2013 NYLON Conference held jointly at the London School of Economics and Goldsmiths. The workshop, Cartographies and Itineraries: Walking through the Elephant and Castle Market, provided partial maps and incomplete information as an introduction for participants to explore further.

NYLON was created in 2001 by Craig Calhoun and Richard Sennett of New York University and the London School of Economics. It began as a network of young scholars within the two institutions and collaboration between them. Today, NYLON has expanded beyond its original boundaries – it now includes members from Goldsmiths, Cambridge, and Kent in the UK; from Chicago, Columbia University, CUNY and the New School in the US; and the Wissenschaftszentrum and the Humboldt University in Berlin.
