Scope and Contents

In 1957, a few experimental European groups came together to form the Situationist International. The name came from their aim of liberating everyday life through the creation of open-ended, participatory situations (as opposed to fixed works of art). Over the next decade the situationists developed a critique of the global spectacle-commodity system, and their new methods of agitation helped trigger the May 1968 revolt in France. Although the SI was dissolved in 1972, situationist theories and tactics have continued to inspire radical currents in dozens of countries all over the world. This is the most comprehensive collection of situationist writings in English, greatly revised and expanded, with over 100 pages of new material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
