Situationists and Independents felt that indigenous living patterns were best nurtured through the “clustering” of the city. During its short period of existence, the Situationists' ideas had a great impact on the revolution of May 1968 and this historical event made them recognisable in various circles. Diverse By taking dérives across neighbourhoods of the city, the drifters capture their emotions for the terrain with photos, verses or collages on a map, which eventually represent their psychology and for that reason the outcome is called 'psychogeographic map' (e.g. This week predominantly involved us working on our essay which was due on Friday while also keeping our event ideas in the back of our mind. 3:AM: I think you say in The Spectacle of Disintegration that détournement is perhaps the Situationists' greatest strategic legacy, but I wonder whether you'd agree that the dérive is a useful strategy for negotiating the networked environment, or what you called the One is the internet itself which was a kind of wild west area, and the other was about networking together across various cities, we'd travel around and visit each other and form temporary associations.
