Psychogeography. Increasingly this term is used to illustrate a bewildering array of ideas from ley lines & the occult to urban walking & political radicalism. But where does it come from & what exactly does it mean? Psychogeography is the point where psychology & geography meet in assessing the emotional & behavioural impact of urban space. The relationship between a city & its inhabitants is measured in two ways
- firstly through an imaginative & literary response secondly on foot through walking the city. PG creates a tradition of the writer as walker & has both a literary & a political component. This book examines the origins of Psychogeography in the Situationist Movement of the 1950s exploring the theoretical background & its political applications as well as the work of early practitioners such as Guy Debord & Raoul Vaneigem. Elsewhere psychogeographic ideas continue to find retrospective validation in much earlier traditions from the visionary writing of William Blake & Thomas De Quincey to the rise of the flaneur on the streets of 19th century Paris & on through the avant-garde experimentation of the Surrealists. These precursors to Psychogeography are discussed here alongside their modern counterparts for today these ideas hold greater currency than ever through the popularity of writers & filmmakers such as Iain Sinclair & Peter Ackroyd Stewart Home & Patrick Keiller. From Urban Wandering to the Society of the Spectacle from the Derive to Detournement Psychogeography provides us with new ways of apprehending our surroundings transforming the familiar streets of our everyday experience into something new & unexpected. This guide conducts the reader through this process offering both an explanation & definition of the terms involved an analysis of the key figures & their work as well as practical information on Psychogeographical groups & organisations.
