The Dialects of the City: Aspects of Psychogeography 

Dott.ssa Sainsbury

Friday 15 -17 ROOM 202 VIA SAN GALLO

This course centres principally on a comparison of two cities: London, examined and reimagined through written texts, maps and films associated with the field of Psychogeography, and Florence, which becomes the object of research ‘in the field’ to create new texts. Bibliographic and filmographic references: Craig Taylor, Londoners, (G.B., Granta, 2011), Sukhdev Sandhu, Night Haunts, (G.B.,Verso and Artangel, 2007),Merlin Coverley, Psychogeography, (G.B., Oldcastle Books, 2012), Patrick Keiller, London,(G.B.,1994), Gianfranco Rosi, Sacro Gra (Roma, 2013).

The aim of the course is to offer students contemporary forms of language which are an alternative to conventional tourist literature, in order to better investigate and describe the city. This is achieved by means of in-class group work, oral presentations, written assignments and a short final research paper. The presentations, assignments and paper are all assessed for the final grade.

The booklet will be available at Copisteria X  by the end of February  and should be brought to the first lesson. 

Recordings and word files are available in The Recordings section and in the Unifi Drive folder which may be easier to access.
