If you’re looking to stretch your legs a bit this Saturday and expand your knowledge of one of Montreal’s lesser known quarters, why not join us for a stroll around the Sauv\u00e9\/Chabanel area. I know relatively little about this area: its bordered by the massive, modernist hulks of the failed ‘Cit\u00e9 de la Mode’ fashion district and the northern limit of Montreal’s plex-scape, and dotted with other anomalies and curios typical of pretty much anywhere in Montreal.<\/p>\n

In typical psychogeography style, no one will be guiding this walk, per se, so we’ll collectively determine the route we follow. This sort of group walking alone always turns out to be an interesting experience.<\/p>\n

Where: Sauv\u00e9 m\u00e9tro, NW corner of Berri & Sauv\u00e9 east<\/p>\n

When: Satuday, January 17, 1pm<\/p>\n

You can confirm your presence for this event on facebook<\/a> or join the Montreal Psychogeograhy<\/a> group for info on upcoming walks. We’re hoping to make this the biggest psychogeography walk yet, so invite your urban-curious friends.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

I’ve often been asked to define psychogeography or expected to explain some of its history or theory. Rather than mumbling something about the Surrealists or its origin in 18th flan\u00eaurs<\/em> like Baudelaire or de Quincey, here’s a quotation I borrowed from wikipedia. Basically its about the theory of d\u00e9rive, <\/em>or getting a little lost:<\/p>\n

In a d\u00e9rive<\/em> one or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there\u2026 But the d\u00e9rive includes both this letting go and its necessary contradiction: the domination of psychogeographical variations by the knowledge and calculation of their possibilities. (Knabb, Ken, ed. Situationist International Anthology<\/em>, Berkley: Bureau of Public Secrets, 1995. pg 50.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, walking randomly allows us to lose our immediate control over our trajectory, while gaining a greater overall understanding of the possibilities inherent in [urban] space.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
