Collective walking! Peripheral observations! Bodily immersion! Pilgrimages! Ecological activism!
Mythogeography looks at multiplicity, it focuses on layers of stories embedded in places, while critically engaging with them.It blends geography with personal narratives, getting immersed in explorations that become site-specific performative acts.
Psychogeography was all about emotions. It became theoretical quite easily when that nice sparkly patina of avant-gardism faded away. It's now mainly a literary practice, detached from activism and urbanism.It was kinda individualistic before already, now even more, far from collectivity, far away in the olympus of the dusty-20th-century-avant-garde-movements (thanks, Dadaism).
Mythogeography is the artsy younger sibling, the one that did theatre school and is all about doing performances🎤🎭🎸🎶, having meditative experiences around rubbly ruins, crying fiercly about disrupting the academy, as well as perception, capitalism, the whole reality if possible. Psychogeography likes to linger in theory without necessarily arriving anywhere.
It's not like everything needs to be an essay, or a glossary entry, everything should be an experience!
Does hugging trees count? Yes, probably
Is protesting mythogeographical? Yes, probably
