Subaltern drawings: Can architecture, urbanism, and fieldwork strike back?

Abstract

What does it mean to speak, and what does it mean to be heard? Domination and oppression are usually theorised along political subjectivity, political agency and having a voice through continuous negotiation, contestation and confrontation. Depending on the framework, the speech of certain people, architecture and cities is rendered intelligible, whilst other people, architecture and cities are denied an authoritative voice and are mostly politically invisible or silenced in certain circumstances.
