Scenes from the Putsch

Elena Siemens

University of Alberta

A personal account of a Moscow putsch, this short essay employs Michel De Certeau's distinction between the public and secret space of the city. In extending De Certeau, the article applies his work to the realm of photography and juxtaposes the official and private images of the putsch. "Scenes from the Putsch" is intended as a prologue to this themed issue that gather images and texts from around the world and pays tribute to De Certeau's notion of the "second, poetic geography" understood by the contributors as related to the secondary or unofficial connotations of spaces, as well as more literally to marginal destinations located outside of conventional tourist routes.

Key Words: putsch • Moscow • secondary space • Michel De Certeau • personal photography
