Next stop Narnia: replacing psychogeography

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to stimulate researchers' understanding of place in general and psychogeography in particular. Design/methodology/approach Melding hauntology, autoethnography, pseudo-psychogeography and object-orientated ontology, the provocation explores aspects of east Belfast's "C.S. Lewis Trail". Findings Psychogeography, purportedly, is moribund. This provocation contends that latter-day developments in virtual reality, augmented reality, digital real estate platforms and "imaginary worlds" more generally, open up new horizons, and offer more opportunities, for the psychogeographically inclined. Originality/value The provocation's originality inheres in the approach adopted not the research findings.
