Next stop Narnia: replacing psychogeography Available to Purchase

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate researchers’ understanding of place in general and psychogeography in particular.

Melding hauntology, autoethnography, pseudo-psychogeography and object-orientated ontology, the provocation explores aspects of east Belfast’s “C.S. Lewis Trail”.

Psychogeography, purportedly, is moribund. This provocation contends that latter-day developments in virtual reality, augmented reality, digital real estate platforms and “imaginary worlds” more generally, open up new horizons, and offer more opportunities, for the psychogeographically inclined.

The provocation’s originality inheres in the approach adopted not the research findings.
