- W2892090873 abstract "This chapter argues that the Northern Irish New Town Craigavon provides a unique insight into what David Harvey has described as capitalism’s potential for ‘geographical inertia’. Constructed between 1967 and 1977, Craigavon became a geography of boredom not because it embodied a banal (‘placeless’) design but because its infrastructure was developed against the wishes of its attendant population. In this, Craigavon represented a disjunction between fixed and mobile capital, but its fortunes were ruptured further by the political convulsions of the North. Using archival research, the chapter documents how Craigavon’s design conjured memories of Ulster's plantation – a traumatic history which was finding a renewed currency during the Troubles. Victor Sloan’s photography and the Troubles and Joys anthology of Craigavon’s women’s writing group, help to further distil these tensions. Rather than simply visualising sectarian violence, Sloan emphasised how the rigidities of capitalist planning evacuated human relationships from this landscape. Craigavon’s women writers, by contrast, highlighted the politics of co-operation that emerged from a female experience of this geographical ennui. Attending to the contradictions in these processes, this chapter rethinks existing understandings of Irish modernity, particularly in the work of David Lloyd." @default.
