Jump Toronto.
The reading list shown in the online Comparative Literature catalog for Psychogeographies is not in synch with the submitted version, though the course description is correct. The course description below (November 2 entry) has the correct readings, though there will be some modifications. The Psychogeographies course, which will be starting this Tuesday is a vibrant and intensive immersion in the theory and practice of urban experience, ranging from explorations of parkours ("free running and jumping") in Toronto to French theory (in translation). In the second half of the course we will read novels, and the reading requirements will be fairly extensive. The books aren't in at the bookstore yet but won't in any case be required for a while, since we will be working from photocopies during the first weeks. There is another but very different urban course in the department right now and students in that will find this course complementary. Good students from outside the department are also encouraged to attend Psychogeographies. Check back here on Monday for the most up-to-date list of texts. --dt
