The first published discussion sounds like satire (or a hyperbolized example), but the description given by Guy Debord seems pretty straight forward to me. If I were try to put it even simpler, I would define it as: "Psychogeography is the study of why people enjoy, or behave in certain ways in, certain surroundings over others". That being said, the fact that Debord claims both that psychogeography is the study of "precise laws" and that psychogeography is "charmingly vague", seems conflicting.
