Hello All,
I have more details about the upcoming edited volume that I'm working
on: Walking Inside Out: Contemporary British Psychogeography.
Abstract
While psychogeography in its broadest sense is as a method of urban
walking which responds to and critiques the terrain, there are many
different approaches to it. This can be because of the way the walking
is carried out or in the way the practical work is written up or
analysed. This book attempts to bring the work of literary/creative
psychogeographers and academics together in an edited volume that
looks critically at psychogeography today. Contributions are from
academics and researchers, and from those working in the area of urban
walking. The voices expressed here highlight and explore the setting
and climate as it is for psychogeography in the UK in the 21st
Century. The essays provide current examples of contemporary
psychogeographical practices, demonstrating the differences between
them. Examples of the different forms of urban walking are discussed,
alongside different theoretical approaches. This book is aimed at
scholars, students and urban walkers alike.
