 ficance of Psychogeography\, defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as "the study
  of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environmen
 t\, consciously organized or not\, on the emotions and behaviour of indi
 viduals."<br /><br />Psychogeography came to have a political dimension\
 , particularly brought out by The Situationist International\, who advoc
 ated experiences of life being alternative to those admitted by the capi
 talist order\, for the fulfilment of human primitive desires and the pur
 suing of a superior passional quality.<br /><br />In recent years there 
 has been a revival of interest in psychogeography\, and Rich Cochrane wi
 ll be investigating how the modern conception relates with to previous u
 nderstandings.<br /><br />-----------<br />Housmans Bookshop<br />5 Cale
