{{Main|Dérive}}
Along with [[détournement]], one of the main Situationist practices is the ''dérive'' ({{IPA|fr|de.ʁiv|lang}}, "drift").<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":6" /> The dérive is a method of drifting through space to explore how the city is constructed, as well as how it makes us feel. Guy Debord defined the ''dérive'' as "a mode of experimental behavior linked to the conditions of urban society: a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances."<ref name="Debord1958Definitions">{{cite journal|author=Guy Debord|date=June 1958|title=Definitions|url=http://www.cddc.vt.edu/sionline/si/definitions.html|journal=Internationale Situationniste|location=Paris|issue=1|translator=Ken Knabb}}</ref> He gave a fuller explanation in "Theory of the Dérive" (1956), first written as a member of the [[Letterist International]]: <blockquote>In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there… But the dérive includes both this letting go and its necessary contradiction: the domination of psychogeographical variations by the knowledge and calculation of their possibilities.<ref name="Debord1956Theory">{{Cite journal|last=Debord|first=Guy|date=November 1956|title=Theory of the Dérive|url=http://www.cddc.vt.edu/sionline/si/theory.html|journal=Les Lèvres Nues|issue=9|translator=Ken Knabb}}</ref></blockquote>The ''dérive''<nowiki/>'s goals include studying the terrain of the city (psychogeography) and emotional disorientation, both of which lead to the potential creation of [[Situationist International#Etymology and usage|Situations]].<ref name="Debord1956Theory" />
