Anarchist Discussion Forums

I recently read Society of the Spectacle, but honestly had trouble understanding a lot of it. I have heard, though, that the Situationists rejected the term "situationism" as it implied their views were unchanging and reified doctrine.

The Situationists are awesome. Largest wildcat strike in history, nearly caused a developed country to overturn. They were egoist as well, which earns them points in my book.

Hello Situationist, just ignore InsecurityKiller, he's a very persistent troll

And I don't know if you'll get many good answers here. You might be better off at ABC or Libcom.

Explain what the fuck it means first.

What i believe in is social democracy and taxing everyone to pay certain workers which deserve good pay.

I was recently asked to write a paper on the Situationist International's and in particular, Debord. As anyone who knows much about Situationism the first tenant in Debord's book 'The Sociology of the Spectacle' is that ‘In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.’ Now, the question I have been asked to study is whether the resistance strategy articulated within the Situationist International was successful in any way. I'm sure the question is easy enough once I understand it properly, but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether I'm right in thinking that their strategy was in their derive, their psychogeography and the other unitary urbanism or was there a specific strategy set out in any of the SI's articles?

If anyone can help I'd greatly apreciate it, if not then I suppose this hasn't hurt. Thankyou.
