The lost social ley-lines which make up the unconscious cultural contours of places."

The term was taken up by, and the [[philosophy]] an influence on, [[British]] writers such as [[Iain Sinclair]] and [[J.G. Ballard]]. | '''Psychogeography''' has been described as "the hidden landscape of atmosphere, histories, actions and characters which charge environments...
