Incongruous steps toward a legal psychogeography

In 'Scarp: in search of London’s outer limits' (2012), Nick Papadimitriou conjures with many dissonant ideas, images and registers. In this short book chapter I dissect two of his strange conjunctions, and in doing so consider through them the prospects for extending contemporary British psychogeography’s embrace of the incongruous – the out of place, the absurd and the out of keeping – beyond psychogeography’s usually aesthetically inclined preoccupation with liminality, and into the mundane sphere of law’s everyday manifestations within the built environment.
