Abstract

The drift technique has been and is used in research from different disciplines that
share an interest in urban matter. Despite, it is still unknown as a psychosocial research technique. Enhancing the researcher to become a part of the movement and the rythm of the city is one of its main features. And together with its flexibility to incorporate what unexpectedly happens in urban space, this technique is particularly appropriate in the current context: society and its cities that are constantly in transit, surrounded by streams and in constant transformation.
