		Psychogeography is a term originally coined by the Situationist International (SI), an international political and artistic movement from 1958 – 1972 which included Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Michele Bernstein and Raoul Vaneigem.
		Their definition of psychogeography was "The study of specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals" (Preliminary Problems in Constructing a Situation, in Situationniste Internationale No. 1,1958).
		Psychogeography has expanded to include not only the study of the effects of the geographical environment on the behavior and emotions of individuals, but the production of affect in relation to the geographic environment.

	Abstract Dynamics: Psychogeography
		Psychogeography is a concept that's been buzzing in the periphery of my information flows for a while now, but I've never quite explored it.
		psychogeography is a concept introduced by the situationist at the end of the 50s, to reclaim the city at a moment where european cities were heavily 'reconstructed' and were organically grown slums were turned into le corbusier-esque vertical concrete ghettos.
		On the other hand, deriving(drifting), semi-aimlessly wandering the city using oblique stragegies as in psychogeography can be an anarchic weapon useful for protection against such inane corporate collonisations of the unconscious used by the sadvertisers.

		Psychogeography — as noted by Guy Debord, is a concept with "a rather pleasing vagueness".
		Psychogeography, as understood here, is the active search for, and celebration of, chance and coincidence, concurrently with the divination of patterns and repetitions thrown up by the [meeting/collision] of the chaos and structures of cities, personal histories and interpretations.
		Psychogeography can challenge the distinction (or rather, enhance the blurring) between the imaginary and the material (City of Alchemists), it can expose and undermine power relations as they are manifest in space - (as performed by the London Psychogeographical Association and Luther Blissett).

	London, psychogeography, bad craziness, Stewart Home
		The term psychogeography originated with the 'avant-garde' Lettrists in Paris in the fifties and from there fed into the Situationist International (but its roots lie elsewhere).
		Part 4 is, of course, the most interesting section because under the rubric of "Psychogeography Today", Coverley goes some way towards getting to grips with me. He writes: "Stewart Home was a prime mover within the resurgence of psychogeographical and avant-garde groups in the 1990s but his relationship with these groups remains tangential and obscure.
		If you know absolutely nothing of psychogeography and want to find out about it, this is as good a place to start as any other, but it isn't somewhere you'd want to stay, you need to drift off and reconfigure it for yourself...

		We decided to use what we learned from the 'Game of Life' & complexity and combine that with the legacy of psychogeography, a sub-cultural strand in the pedestrian culture which can be traced back all the way from the Flaneur, the British pedestrian writers of the Romantic age to the peripatetic school of Aristotle.
		generative psychogeography is a pleasant state of displacement: it's the city-space cut-up.
		Psychogeography has always been about open sourcing the city, to make all parts, all spaces, of the city available to everybody, to overcome your own habits imposed by social reality, to negate stratification.

	Nexsound: Rural Psychogeography
		Psychogeography as a socially critical art practice could reveal itself only in the city.
		But what is more important, since psychogeography here is valuable by itself and does not have to pursue any other objectives, the transmitter is also valuable per se, and the message about the event that takes place within the secret territory is considered as the event itself.
		Generally speaking, any psychogeography that allows finding a valuable method of personal expression that previously seemed impossible, can be considered rural.

	Ming the Mechanic: Psychogeography and the Dérive
		Psychogeography research is carried through non-scientific methods such as the derive, aimless drifting through the city, trying to record the emotions given by a particular place; and mental mapping, the production of mood-based maps.
		Psychogeography was developed as a critique of urbanism by the Lettrist International and then by Situationist International in the late fifties.
		Only an awareness of the influences of the existing environment can encourage the critique of the present conditions of daily life, and yet it is precisely this concern with the environment which we live which is ignored.

	MMU Sociology - Driftnet - Psychogeography
		Psychogeography was developed as a critique of urbanism by the (Lettrist International and then) Situationist International in the fifties.
		In the Critique, Debord tells us that psychogeography was a term 'suggested by an illiterate Kabyle..around the summer of 1953' and the adjective psychogeographical while retaining 'a rather pleasing vagueness' can be usefully employed to describe the findings generated by this kind of inquiry.
		Psychogeography for Debord involved paying attention to the 'sudden change of ambience in a street within the space of a few metres; the evident division of a city into zones of distinct psychic atmospheres' and the 'appealing or repellent character of certain places'.

		Not only did the artists, writers and thinkers who practised psychogeography have radically different definitions of what they were doing, they disagreed about what form it should take, where it should be done, who had invented it and what it was supposed to achieve.
		Their aim was to combat the banality and conformity of everyday life; and psychogeography became a major element, in the form of the dérive.
		Psychogeography here is obsessed with occult forces, impermeable barriers that might be sorcery, might be class, might be twisted ley-lines, might be Docklands Light Railway.

		Psychogeography encourages us to buck the rut, to follow some new logic that lets us experience our landscape anew, that forces us to truly see what we'd otherwise ignore.
		The word psychogeography was coined in the late 1950s by the letterists and the situationists -- French artists and social theorists who adopted the playful-serious agenda of the dadaists and surrealists in an effort to break through the crust of postwar conformity.

	The Library at nothingness.org/Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography
		The word psychogeography, suggested by an illiterate Kabyle as a general term for the phenomena a few of us were investigating around the summer of 1953, is not too inappropriate.
		Psychogeography could set for itself the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.
		The adjective psychogeographical, retaining a rather pleasing vagueness, can thus be applied to the findings arrived at by this type of investigation, to their influence on human feelings, and even more generally to any situation or conduct that seems to reflect the same s pirit of discovery.
