IAS Faculty Jin-Kyu Jung co-authored a paper in a special issue of “More-Than-Human Mapping”

Jin-Kyu Jung and Ted Hieber published a paper on “More-Than-Human Psychogeography: On “Bat-Like” Places and Imaginary Geographie” in the special issue of “More-Than-Human Mappings” in the Livingmaps Review journal. The paper uses a creative re-interpretation of psychogeography as a conceptual framework—less about the psychological dimensions of real space and more about the mind’s spatiality, for instance, by imagining how “bat-like” could be a place (a psychological location) that a mind can be taken to. It explores the geography of a world that is imagined differently (e.g., imagining ourselves to be someone or something else), and how we might map the experience of imagining without ignoring its content or quality (subjective, emphatic, imaginary, or otherwise). They are interested in how a geographic understanding of the imagination might allow for conversations about different psychogeographic imagination and mapping.
