Abstract
This book’s keywords of re-enactment, replication and reconstruction pose
a distinction between an original on the one hand and some kind of copy
on the other. The practice of walking and everyday life in general suggest
alternatives. Using the series of terms ‘act’, ‘enact’ and ‘re-enactment’,
the chapter investigates creativity in ways that cannot be reduced to
the dichotomy of original and copy. It begins with an account of some
pedagogical experiments into walking and psychogeography, and then
explores the act of walking in psychogeography. It moves on to the enactment
of shared practice between psychogeography and anthropology,
and finally the re-enactment of psychogeography as anthropology, and
vice versa.
