The Situationist Urban Design, Rules and Principles The Situationist Urban Design, Rules and Principles Shirin Izadpanah Collage of fine arts, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran. Received: 02 March 2019- Accepted: 19 March 2020 Abstract From a general perspective, urbanism can be assumed as a bipolar world. On one hand, large-scale plans formulated by official organizations are shaping urban environment and the entirety of our cities; on the other hand, social activists and artists, active in the field of cities, are making an effort to give it a human character. According to De Certo (1984), the first approach to city, adopted by power structures, is composed of strategy, and the second approach, which is taking small-scale actions by ordinary citizens, artists and activists is made of tactic. One of the movement attempting to theorize these tactical actions is Situationist International. In spite of the philosophical and artistic essence, they were deeply interested in subjects related to the city and the everyday life of citizens. This paper aims to analyze the theories of this group and advancing their theory to the practice and supply practical instructions, utilizable in urban design discipline. For this purpose, it was necessary to use a qualitative method in which after spending a lot of time on studying their intellectual and philosophical products, we would be able to analyze and develop them to a theoretical framework utilizable in urban design field, both in scientific and professional approach. At the end of article, principles and indicators for the Situationist urban design will be provided and listed in ten categories. Keywords: Situationist International, Unitary Urbanism, Everyday Life, Spectacle, Psycho-geography, New Situationism practices are point out and then, through summarization 1. Introduction and classification of data obtained in prior stage The S.I (Situationist-International), established in 1957, theoretical framework of Situationist urban design is brought together a few branches of decomposed established. international surrealist movement after war (Albright, 2003). The most significant pre-Situationist groups are Dada-inspired Letterist International by the leadership of Guy Debord and International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus (IMIB) by Asger Jorn. He had also a close relationship with another artistic organization, named COBRA movement (dérive d from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam) (Albright, 2003). The S.I published twelve issues of International Situationist Journal between 1957 and 1972, a context in which members introduce their ideas. They used to look at the art, city and society with a critical and anti-capitalistic view. The society of spectacle, written by Guy Debord, is the most popular text ever written by any of the members that expresses some of these critical views. The critical attitude of this group have been always dependent on city and creating situations by citizens creatively. 2.

Third group includes passive autonomous movement of the nonliving” (Debord, The spectators rounded by the constructed situation (Barnard, society of the spectacle, 1970, p. 10). The concept of 2004). The Situationists name this third group the livers of spectacle is borrowed from theater. Debord codified the the situation. metaphor of capitalism situation as a spectacle and a play 3.1.3. Psycho-geography based on Marx‟s analysis about self-alienation in According to Lefebvre, the SI regarded space as a social capitalistic society. He believed that capitalism was at its product resulted from multilateral relations instead of an peak in the 50s and it colonized everyday life as Marx had empty container. Regarding this definition of space, they predicted, a colonization of every general and special composed psycho-geography theory about environment‟s fields of Life. Debord said “The spectacle is not a atmosphere and Debord introduced psycho-geography as collection of images; it is a social relation between people “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the that is mediated by images” (Ibid) and introduced the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, result of these relations as the society of the spectacle. on the emotions and behavior of individuals” (1955). Debord attacked the passivity lied in spectacle. People in “Psycho-geography demanded new forms of cartography, public are just the spectators of a scene in which all edges capable of representing states of consciousness and are occupied with glass showcases, commodification‟s feeling. The Situationists thus sought to map out unités showoff, theme parks counterfeit authentic urban spaces d'ambiance 2, singular places with special qualities such as and … all at the service of product‟s presentation. the social composition of an area, or common Emancipation that Debord speaks about lies in rejecting architectural style, but the emphasis was placed more on life as an only presentation and actively constructing of the soft mutable elements of urban scenes” (Bassett, 2004, the situation, spectators should become actors. It is about p. 402). Since the unités d'ambiance borders are of construction of our existence, nothing else captivated us qualitative, not physical distances, redefining the concept from outside (Swyngedouw, 2002). According to this of neighborhood is one of its uses. Neighborhoods have statement, a self-alienated existence is one that refers to lost their physical borders and boundaries, and it seems something other than its self, an installed concept. On the very unlikely for us to rebuild those former structures other hand, an authentic existence is a concept which had again. “New psycho-geographical maps of the city can shaped its identity during the time by its self and refers to define space and environments according to peoples‟ constructing and shaping process in the course of time. needs and emotions, rather than as the functionalist city 3.1.2.

Everyday life roles in foundation of situation concept in SI movement. “Everyday life is the measure of all things: of the Situation has two central aspects. First one is the rejection fulfilment of human relations; of the use of lived time; of of passivity in everyday life. The construction of a artistic experimentation and of revolutionary politics” situation is necessarily a collaborative action: “A moment (Debord, 1961). Debord declared in his book that the of life concretely and deliberately constructed by the advent of the society of the spectacle, in Paris and every collective organization of a unitary ambiance1 and a game other cities, had caused poverty and destruction of of events” (Debord, 1957). Situations aim to be genuine life (1970); and because of that, the everyday life constructed, encounter and creatively lived moments in must be the context of revolutionary transformation, not specific urban settings (Albright, 2003). The second the manufactures or artists‟ canvases. Everydayness is a aspect is refusing a situation to be an Art work. Debord in platform on which Situationists collect their theories and an article named “Introduction to a Critique of Urban technics to cause social changes in the context of the city Geography” declared that “new beauty can only be beauty (Bridger, 2010). In their opinion, Art has a social and of situation” (Debord, 1955). “Nothing would be more political responsibility and, as an artist, we should draw misleading … than to think the situation as a privileged or people‟s attention to their everyday life and reforming it exceptional moment in the sense of aestheticism… We in a way that they take on an influential and a decisive can comprehend its true nature only if we locate it role in their own life. For example, daily commuting is historically in its proper place: that is, after the end and one of the most boring and ordinary routines, although it self-destruction of art” (Agamben, 2000). All these is one of the few times in which a person has a chance in definitions attend to express that people should leave the solitude and privacy to think and contemplate in modern passivity and arrange their behaviour, friends and palaces 2.

It carries something of our own personal history, of our involvement with the cinema, making us remember certain aspects of Flms, maybe even their storylines. As we look at these posters we begin to create our own storylines, the images, text and design suggesting di©erent possibilities to us. By fabricating a tangible trace of Flms that were never made, Desaparicions II brings the Flms into existence and it is the viewer who begins to create, even remember these movies. The images that appear in the posters have all been taken from artworks made by Aballí.

  • The History of Unitary Urbanism and Psychogeography at the Turn of the Sixties
    The History of Unitary Urbanism and Psychogeography at the Turn of the Sixties Ewen Chardronnet 2003 Contents Examples and Comments of Contemporary Psychogeography (lecture notes for a conference in Riga Art + Communication Festival, May 2003) 3 2 Examples and Comments of Contemporary Psychogeography (lecture notes for a conference in Riga Art + Communication Festival, May 2003) The topic of our panel discussion this afternoon is about “local media, maps and psychogeography”. I think it’s necessary to come back first to a brief history of psychogeography, Unitary Urbanism and the Situationnist International at the turn of the sixties. The end of the fifties and the beginning ofthe sixties were a period of acceleration in urbanism of European and world cities. In Paris, this period is the explosion of what politicians and urban planners called “new cities”. Paris was exploding outside its “ring road” and cities such as Sarcelles were created with totally new urban models. There was a strong feeling in that time that the cities were losing their human dimensions. I will first try to show how this acceleration of modernization of urban society had an influence on the tactics of the SI as an avant-garde concerned with the uniformization of society through urbanism, mass media, and the dichotomy of work and leisure. I will especially focus on Unitary Urbanism and 4 years of intense activities (‘58-‘61) that finally culminate by totally abandoning these theories. We will then discuss actual initiatives that use tactical medias in the streets and how this is link to the new rise of psychogeography and the necessity of reclaiming the streets.

  • 'How Does One Become Guy Debord'?
    HIMA 13,1_Rev_268_f9_183-193 3/14/05 2:52 PM Page 183 The Tribe JEAN-MICHEL MENSION, translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith London: Verso, 2002 The Consul RALPH RUMNEY, translated by Malcolm Imrie London: Verso, 2002 Bohemians: The Glamorous Outcasts ELIZABETH WILSON London: I.B. Tauris, 2000 Reviewed by MICHAEL CALDERBANK ‘How Does One Become Guy Debord’? The highest aspiration of the revolutionary, it has been argued, is to be put out of business altogether. That is, the aim of a radical politics is to eradicate the very conditions that necessitate its emergence, and thereby dissolve the exceptional nature of its own stance. From this perspective, the contemporary fascination and nostalgia for the Situationist International (SI) might be seen, ironically, as symptomatic of the ultimate failure of their enterprise.1 The situationists, for their part, anticipated with dread the dangers of ‘recuperation’ into the Spectacle, the all-encompassing surrogate that they believed late capitalism was substituting for autonomous human experience. Here was a movement heavily steeped in aesthetic concerns that sought to challenge the very discursive and institutional specialisation of art itself. They understood from the beginning that their success could be guaranteed only in so far as they managed to engineer their own self-liquidation, and here it is tempting to see their self-destructive drinking binges and Debord’s eventual suicide as a distorted expression of the broader logic of the movement. By contrast, the erection of a whole academic sub-industry around the SI threatens to see them immortalised and turned into something of a fetish: the obsession with the last of the real revolutionaries, the authentic expression of radical Sixties’ counterculture at its purest.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. I am using the terms ‘space’ and ‘place’ in Michel de Certeau’s sense, in that ‘space is a practiced place’ (Certeau 1988: 117), and where, as Lefebvre puts it, ‘(Social) space is a (social) product’ (Lefebvre 1991: 26). Evelyn O’Malley has drawn my attention to the anthropocentric dangers of this theorisation, a problematic that I have not been able to deal with fully in this volume, although in Chapters 4 and 6 I begin to suggest a collaboration between human and non- human in the making of space. 2. I am extending the use of the term ‘ extra- daily’, which is more commonly associated with its use by theatre director Eugenio Barba to describe the per- former’s bodily behaviours, which are moved ‘away from daily techniques, creating a tension, a difference in potential, through which energy passes’ and ‘which appear to be based on the reality with which everyone is familiar, but which follow a logic which is not immediately recognisable’ (Barba and Savarese 1991: 18). 3. Architectural theorist Kenneth Frampton distinguishes between the ‘sceno- graphic’, which he considers ‘essentially representational’, and the ‘architec- tonic’ as the interpretation of the constructed form, in its relationship to place, referring ‘not only to the technical means of supporting the building, but also to the mythic reality of this structural achievement’ (Frampton 2007 [1987]: 375). He argues that postmodern architecture emphasises the scenographic over the architectonic and calls for new attention to the latter. However, in contemporary theatre production, this distinction does not always reflect the work of scenographers, so might prove reductive in this context.
