Picking up where the dadaists and surrealists had left off, the situationists challenged people's passive conditioning with carefully calculated scandals and the playful tactic of \u003cem\u003ed?tournement\u003c\/em\u003e (\"rerouting, hijacking\"). Seeking a more extreme social revolution than was dreamed of by most leftists, they developed an incisive critique of the global spectacle-commodity system and of its \"Communist\" pseudo-opposition, and their new methods of agitation helped trigger the May 1968 revolt in France. Since then situationist theories and tactics have continued to inspire radical currents all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e This volume presents a rich variety of articles, leaflets, graffiti, and internal documents, ranging from experiments in \"psychogeography\" to lucid analyses of the Watts riot, the Vietnam War, the Prague Spring, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and other crises and upheavals of the sixties. \u003cp\u003eFor this new edition the translations have all been fine-tuned and over 100 pages of new material have been added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887440576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544","brand":"Ken Knabb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431937044661,"sku":"9798887440576","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ee0f4179-f858-4c4d-a2a3-552bcfcdc567.jpg?v=1721138958","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/situationist-international-anthology-9798887440576","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
