Tel qu'explique sur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychogeography

Psychogeography was originally developed by the Lettrist International, as a hypergraphics in their system of unitary urbanism. The term has since been used by many others, leading to many variations in the practice which have included the following forms: Debordian; Literary; Generative or Algorithmic; and Quantum. Various factions claim to be or accuse each other of being: academic; occultist; avant-garde; proletarian; or revolutionary and pure psychogeographics.

During the 1980s and 90s while situationist theory became popular in academic circles, avant-garde, neoist and revolutionary groups emerged, developing the praxis in various ways. This interest survives today, manifested in several groups practising contemporary Psychogeography.

The journal Transgressions: A Journal of Urban Exploration (which appears to have ceased publication sometime in 2000) collated and developed a number of post-avant-garde revolutionary psychogeographical themes. It was, in part, aligned to a magico-Marxist psychogeographical agenda.

Psychogeography has since also become a standard device used in art and literature. Since 2003, Provflux and Psy-Geo-conflux (separate events) are dedicated to action-based participatory experiments, underneath the academic umbrella of Psychogeography.

The British journalist Will Self has a column called Psychogeography which started out in the British Airways in-flight magazine and now appears weekly in the Saturday magazine of The Independent newspaper.
