E-Books →What is Situationism A Reader

process which led to the SI being elevated to the status of a cultural icon is as interesting as the history of this - or any other - avantgarde group. While there have been a number of monographs on the situationists published in recent years, this is the first anthology of shorter critical pieces about the S1. The collection is in no way definitive - which would require both a far larger book and a selection process less biased towards anglo-american perspectives. With only one exception, Jean Barrot's Critique of the Situationist International, everything in this anthology was written in English and even this exception was first published as a translation. The texts run chronologically according to date of publication.
