‘A profound edge’: performative negotiations of Belfast
Abstract
The lack of an overarching narrative of place for Northern Ireland, and its territorial conflict, have resulted in fragmented, highly localized and strictly bounded senses of place. This is nowhere more evident than in Belfast, a city profoundly shaped by its sectarian geographies. As a result, what theorists have come to characterize as the relative liberty of urban space is overtly compromised, with movement through and within Belfast being restricted by the policing of its internal boundaries. These difficulties, and their gendered effects, are focused here in relation to the particular experience of artist Sandra Johnston. Johnston made two performative pieces in response and resistance to the spatial constraint she had undergone on the Lower Newtownards Road, a loyalist area of East Belfast. Johnston disrupts the performance of order and control evident in Belfast’s politico-religious territories, and offers a radically alternative negotiation of space, which I argue is personally, communally and politically significant.

In the citing paper
“Identity, belonging, and ownership in both rural and urban areas are about claiming something as “ours,” not “theirs,” and denying the entangled complexity on the ground (Reid 2005:486).”

In the citing paper
“Geographer Bryonie Reid (2005) has argued that the PUL focus on “plantation” cities—such as Belfast and Derry—as their creations and strongholds relates to an anxiety of dislocation from rurality that was traditionally viewed as belonging to the CNR community as inheritors of pre-plantation Irish Ulster (Reid 2005:285).”

In the citing paper
“Bryonie Reid (2005:487) has written of what she calls “cartography’s spatial story” of Belfast being “constantly disrupted and contradicted by any physical exploration of the spaces to which they refer.””

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
