Disorientation has been a huge concern for mankind since the earliest uses of a space that is not just proximal or peripersonal. Popular wisdom has it that disorientation is no longer a problem, because of assistive, GPS based devices. However, the idea that disorientation will disappear from the human landscape is wishful thinking at best. Cases of device-induced disorientation (intensive use of GPS based navigation devices) are documented with increased frequency; disorientation pathologies will continue to exist, related to aging, dementia and various disorders, with no therapy in sight; and technology is not a universal or definitive solution (due to failure, power shortage, accidents, poor ergonomics, inherent complexities of the devices or improper use.) Finally, even though information is the key remediation for disorientation, contemporary environments are prone to information overload – in particular an overload of information aimed at remediating disorientation.

Renseignements :
We shall address many aspects of disorientation. Students taking class for credit are expected to read and present book chapters or articles from the reading list, or to contribute with an autonomous project on disorientation. I especially welcome surveys of the historical record, narratives (real or fictional) of lost travelers, of feeling disoriented in new environments, of estrangement in hotel rooms, of being lost at sea, in the woods, in deserts, in cityscapes, and of actively searching for disorientation, of orienteering. According to the conditions, we may be able to run a practical class in Fontainebleau forest.
Réception :
