Your own Canterbury Pilgrimage

For whatever reason, you have come to Canterbury. Walk around the 'Cathedral Quarter' with some great thinkers. Will you find life-changing signs or perspectives? There is no time limit, no path, and no prize for finishing first. Listen and think. Do you get a blessing? Does your life change forever? Was this a mystical experience, an economic structure, psychology, or semiotics? As you and your fellow pilgrims walk around, each sees much the same things, the 'signifiers'. But how do you interpret what you see in front of your eyes? What new concepts and structures form in your mind? You may hear advice from characters such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard, Bernard Stiegler, Sigmund Freud, a Zen Buddhist monk (Thich Nhat Hahn), and a mediaeval mystic (the 'Cloud of Unknowing'). Just look at what's in front of you, consider it from their perspectives, and move on in whichever direction takes your fancy. Focus on the process of understanding what you see, in the light of what you hear.
