| Summary: | A majority of the scholarship on psychogeography focuses on the impact of architecture, urban environments, and the physical construction of space and place on the psyche, emotions, behaviour, and health of individuals and society. Some use this approach as a way to delve into the soul of a city. Theoretical work on historical ecology, spiritual ecology, and spiritual geography offer new perspectives on the human-landscape dynamic, yet they lack psychological depth. This article explores the psychogeographical dimension of non-urban, Indigenous, and novel landscapes with an emphasis on early childhood development and spatial justice. Case studies—on the Akawaio in the Guiana Highlands of South America; and Indigital Schools, an educational technology startup in Australia—demonstrate the applicability of psychogeography for diverse contexts. Ultimately, this reimagining blazes a trail deeper into the soul(s) of the land. |
