My Self Directed Project

The self-directed project that I have chosen and proposed for this unit is inspired by psychogeography and related themes.

For the practical part, I will develop a photographic and textual book originating from the application of the so-called "drift", which was introduced and theorized by Guy Debord during the creation process of the Situationist Movement and the conceptual development of psychogeography. 

My aim is to produce a group of outcomes, including:

• a project plan, according to what is established by the work path of this unit.
• a mental map that I need to structure the project, ideas, reflections, resources, outcomes and work path. The product I'm going to use to do mind-mapping has a very powerful link function, which allows me to put all the material in order and overcome the limits of the folder's structure. 
• a blog, where to publish the research results, notes and reflections on readings; 
• a photographic and textual book about my drifts in Giudecca, an island in the Venice lagoon; 
• a critical review on some authors who, according to my research,  have applied and interpreted the drift: consciously, following philosophical/political/artistic currents, or unconsciously.

The practical work will be supported by research: the result of the research will be the reflections, which I will insert in the blog.
