项目摘要

On publication, our anthology, Out of Bounds (OOB), was hailed by the leading Caribbean poet and novelist, Fred D'Aguiar, as 'an alternative A-Z of the nation'. The book focuses on black and British Asian poets as they imaginatively interact with the diverse landscapes of Britain, from the Highlands of Scotland, to the Isle of Wight. The proposed Out of Bounds project re-purposes this critically-acclaimed book to engage schools, young people and the wider public in thinking imaginatively about one of the most pressing issues facing Britain today: migration. While questions of diversity, belonging and inclusion are included in Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence and are being embedded in the revised GCSE curriculum, high profile national debate around immigration has transformed the themes of this book into a key part of daily public life. This project invites the next generation to explore these issues of national and regional belonging through the creation of an online multimedia resource, and a series of live poetry events across England, Scotland and Wales led by OOB poet, Vahni Capildeo.Through exploratory workshops involving 6 schools in England and Scotland (connecting 10 teachers and 180 students), this project addresses the challenge of making poetry as meaningful, accessible and interactive as possible. Working with the world-leading 'Digital Interaction' team at Newcastle University (already core partners in several AHRC-funded projects), the school workshops will test the various ways in which the poetic map of Britain might be re-drawn by using the latest digital technologies at our disposal. For example, by enabling pupils to arrange poets and poems within the instantly recognisable shape of Britain, we encourage them to think of themselves as cartographers, making dynamic online sound, image and text maps as part of a literary landscape that can be constantly updated and is at once familiar and unfamiliar. The ambition is to produce a freely available online resource that challenges pupils (aged 14-18) and their teachers, and supports their classroom curriculum.Bringing this virtual resource to life during the course of the project will be a series of live poetry performances and events that take the contents and poets of Out of Bounds 'on tour'. These events include scheduled performances run in conjunction with leading regional and national arts organisations/libraries (the British Library, Manchester Literature Festival and Scottish Poetry Library) to showcase the project and the poetry it is working with. Other events are designed to engage in highly original ways with local landscapes across Britain. For example, tours will include 'Blue Plaque Events' (various UK locations); a 'Land, Water, Air' mini-series (coastal, 'nowhere', regenerated and urban sites in Yorkshire and Lancashire), with recordings of sampler sounds; relay readers punting boats of poetry through Cambridge; and 'Shetland Muse' (Highlands and Islands). These events will be publicized to both local schools and newspapers to raise the project's profile among the wider public. Recordings of these performances will be archived by the British Library, and form additional raw materials to augment our online resource for schools, allowing us to exploit poetry as a visual, aural and place-based event.The project will result in 2 main digital outputs, both embedded within the same website: (i) a bespoke set of resources that takes place-poetry beyond the page (ii) a rich geographical gallery of filmed performances and events that brings together for the first time previously unseen footage of leading poets in the anthology (supplied by Bloodaxe publishers), and newly commissioned performances by Out of Bounds poets. Our aim is to create a one-stop resource that will serve as a highly visible archive stimulating future learning activities, and new projects wishing to re-write, or re-design, the poetic map of Britain.

在出版时，我们的选集（OOB）被加勒比海的主要诗人兼小说家弗雷德·德·阿奎尔（Fred D'Aguiar）谴责为“国家的另一种A-Z”。这本书着重于黑人和英国亚洲诗人，因为他们想象着与从苏格兰高地到怀特岛的英国各种各样的景观互动。提议的范围项目重新设计了这本备受赞誉的书，以吸引学校，年轻人和更广泛的公众，以想象一下当今英国面临的最紧迫的问题之一：移民。尽管多样性，归属和包容性问题包括在苏格兰的卓越课程中，并嵌入了修订后的GCSE课程中，但围绕移民的备受瞩目的全国性辩论将本书的主题转变为日常公共生活的关键部分。该项目邀请下一代通过创建在线多媒体资源来探索国家和地区的这些问题，以及由OOB诗人，Vahni Capildeo，通过Vahni Capildeo.Through探索性研讨会的一系列现场诗歌活动。尽可能。与纽卡斯尔大学（已经是多个AHRC资助的项目的核心合作伙伴）的世界领先的“数字互动”团队合作，学校研讨会将测试通过使用我们的最新数字技术来重新绘制英国诗意地图的各种方式。例如，通过使学生能够在英国立即识别的形状中安排诗人和诗歌，我们鼓励他们将自己视为制图师，制作动态的在线声音，图像和文字地图，作为可以不断更新的文学景观的一部分，这些景观可以不断地更新，并且一次熟悉且不熟悉。雄心勃勃的是生产一种可免费获得的在线资源，挑战学生（14-18岁）及其老师，并支持他们的课堂课程。在项目过程中将这种虚拟资源融入了生活，将是一系列现场诗歌表演和事件，这些表演和事件将带来界限的内容和诗人。这些活动包括与领先的地区和国家艺术组织/图书馆（大英图书馆，曼彻斯特文学节和苏格兰诗歌图书馆）一起进行的计划表演，以展示该项目及其正在合作的诗歌。其他活动旨在与英国各地的当地景观进行高度原创的方式。例如，游览将包括“蓝色牌匾事件”（英国各种地点）；一个“土地，水，空气”迷你系列（沿海，“无处”，在约克郡和兰开夏郡再生和城市地点），带有采样声音的录音；接力读者通过剑桥刺穿诗歌船；和“设得兰群岛”（高地和岛屿）。这些事件将被向当地学校和报纸宣传，以提高项目在更广泛的公众中的概况。这些表演的录音将由大英图书馆归档，并形成其他原材料来增强我们的在线资源的学校资源，使我们能够将诗歌作为一个视觉，听觉和地点的事件来利用诗歌。该项目将导致2个主要的数字输出，均嵌入了同一网站中：（i）以前一系列刻板式（ii）表演的刻板式（II），这是一套富有地理图像（ii）的刻板图（ii）。选集（由Bloodaxe Publishers提供的）中的主要诗人看不见的镜头，并以诗人为之新委托表演。我们的目的是创建一个一站式资源，该资源将用作刺激未来学习活动的高度可见的档案，以及希望重新编写或重新设计的英国诗意地图的新项目。
