From its foundation in 1957 to its self-dissolution in 1972, the Situationist International established itself as one of the most radical revolutionary organisations of the twentieth century.This book brings together leading researchers on the SI to provide a comprehensive critical analysis of the group s key concepts and contexts, from its relationship to earlier artistic avant-gardes, romanticism, Hegelianism, the history of the workers movement and May 68 to the concepts and practices of spectacle , constructed situations , everyday life and detournement . The volume also considers historically underexamined areas of the SI, including the situation of women in the group and its opposition to colonialism and racism.With contributions from a broad range of thinkers including Anselm Jappe and Michael Lowy, this account takes a fresh look at the complex workings of a group that has come to define radical politics and culture in the post-war period.
