  • Occupy the Fun Palace Britt Eversole
    thresholds 41 Spring 2013, 32-45 OCCUPY THE FUN PALACE BRITT EVERSOLE During the 1968 holiday season, a dozen people and one Santa Claus impersonator stormed Selfridges, a Daniel Burnham-designed department store on London’s posh Oxford Street. Confused customers gathered when Father Christmas and his helpers pulled goods from the shelves and began giving them away. When clerks intervened, a melee erupted, arrests ensued, and police were forced to make crying children return unpurchased toys and candy. In the aftermath, Londoners found leaflets bearing an anti-consumer diatribe against the holidays as the palliative to another year of pointless labor ending in unaffordable shopping and perfunctory celebration (Figure 1). Chiding Britons that they did not deserve Christmas because they had not worked hard enough, this year’s festivities were a “punishment…a duty to be cheerful, to play the fool, let down your hair as soon as they switch on the lights and raise the curtain.” A call to arms ended the invective: Let’s smash the whole great deception. Occupy the Fun Palace and really set the swings going. Grab the gifts and really give them. Light up Oxford Street and dance around the fire.1 This vicious potlatch was one of many guerilla actions by the English Situation- ist-inspired group King Mob, named after the 1780 Gordon Riots in which revolt- ing prison inmates freed themselves by the authority of “His Majesty, King Mob.” During the late 1960s, they assaulted British culture with pranks, profane leafleting and poster campaigns, and by vandalizing buildings and infrastructure with erudite phrases, the most famous being a thesis on an Underground embankment: SAME THING DAY AFTER DAY–TUBE–WORK–DINER [sic]–WORK–TUBE–ARMCHAIR–T.V.– SLEEP–TUBE–WORK–HOW MUCH MORE CAN YOU TAKE–ONE IN TEN GO MAD– ONE IN FIVE CRACKS UP.

  • Class Wargames Class Class Wargames Ludic Ludic Subversion Against Spectacular Capitalism
    class wargames Class Wargames ludic Ludic subversion against spectacular capitalism subversion Why should radicals be interested in playing wargames? Surely the Left can have no interest in such militarist fantasies? Yet, Guy Debord – the leader of the Situationist International – placed such importance on his class invention of The Game of War that he described it as the most significant of against his accomplishments. wargames Intrigued by this claim, a multinational group of artists, activists and spectacular academics formed Class Wargames to investigate the political and strategic lessons that could be learnt from playing his ludic experiment. While the ideas of the Situationists continue to be highly influential in the development of subversive art and politics, relatively little attention has been paid to their strategic orientation. Determined to correct this deficiency, Class Wargames is committed to exploring how Debord used the capitalism metaphor of the Napoleonic battlefield to propagate a Situationist analysis of modern society. Inspired by his example, its members have also hacked other military simulations: H.G. Wells’ Little Wars; Chris Peers’ Reds versus Reds and Richard Borg’s Commands & Colors. Playing wargames is not a diversion from politics: it is the training ground of tomorrow’s cybernetic communist insurgents. Fusing together historical research on avant-garde artists, political revolutionaries and military theorists with narratives of five years of public performances, Class Wargames provides a strategic and tactical manual for overthrowing the economic, political and ideological hierarchies of early- 21st century neoliberal capitalism. The knowledge required to create a truly human civilisation is there to be discovered on the game board! richard ludic subversion against barbrook spectacular capitalism Minor Compositions An imprint of Autonomedia Front cover painting: Kimathi Donkor, Toussaint L’Ouverture at Bedourete (2004).

  • Situationist
    Situationist The Situationist International (SI), an international political and artistic movement which has parallels with marxism, dadaism, existentialism, anti- consumerism, punk rock and anarchism. The SI movement was active in the late 60's and had aspirations for major social and political transformations. The SI disbanded after 1968.[1] The journal Internationale Situationniste defined situationist as "having to do with the theory or practical activity of constructing situations." The same journal defined situationism as "a meaningless term improperly derived from the above. There is no such thing as situationism, which would mean a doctrine of interpretation of existing facts. The notion of situationism is obviously devised by antisituationists." One should not confuse the term "situationist" as used in this article with practitioners of situational ethics or of situated ethics. Nor should it be confused with a strand of psychologists who consider themselves "situationist" as opposed to "dispositionist". History and overview The movement originated in the Italian village of Cosio d'Arroscia on 28 July 1957 with the fusion of several extremely small artistic tendencies, which claimed to be avant-gardistes: Lettrist International, the International movement for an imaginist Bauhaus, and the London Psychogeographical Association. This fusion traced further influences from COBRA, dada, surrealism, and Fluxus, as well as inspirations from the Workers Councils of the Hungarian Uprising. The most prominent French member of the group, Guy Debord, has tended to polarise opinion. Some describe him as having provided the theoretical clarity within the group; others say that he exercised dictatorial control over its development and membership, while yet others say that he was a powerful writer, but a second rate thinker.

  • “For a World Without Oppressors:” U.S. Anarchism from the Palmer
    “For a World Without Oppressors:” U.S. Anarchism from the Palmer Raids to the Sixties by Andrew Cornell A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social and Cultural Analysis Program in American Studies New York University January, 2011 _______________________ Andrew Ross © Andrew Cornell All Rights Reserved, 2011 “I am undertaking something which may turn out to be a resume of the English speaking anarchist movement in America and I am appalled at the little I know about it after my twenty years of association with anarchists both here and abroad.” -W.S. Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • The Style of Negation and the Negation of Style: the Anglicization of the Situationist International
    The Style of Negation and the Negation of Style: The Anglicization of the Situationist International Sam Cooper “How are we to understand,” asks the eminent British art historian T. J. Clark, the obvious (but scandalous) fact that in Debord’s case politics was largely writing – that it turned on the building of an inimitable polemical and expository style, assembled over decades, born from a series of engagements with, on and against the French language? 1 The question pertains to the categorization of different critical practices and, more specifically, to distinctions made between practices of writing and practices of more immediate political consequence, though the latter are not identified. Clark recognizes that for Guy Debord writing was a mode of political intervention, and his writing intervened into “politics” by way of its a priori intervention into “language.” In his role as founding member of the Situationist International (1957–1972), Debord reiterated the dictum of the historical avant-garde, as identified by Peter Bürger, that artistic and life praxes (and, by extension, writing and politics) must be sublated, to become no longer separate and distinct categories. 2 In his many autobiographical texts, Debord insisted that his legacy would not be as a writer but as someone who exposed and acted directly upon the conditions of his world-historical moment. 3 The discrepancy – and to Debord’s hagiographers, the scandal – that troubles Clark is this: despite the disavowals of disciplinary specialism across his various self-authored panegyrics, Debord fits the mold of the littérateur disconcertingly well. Not only did Debord’s political interventions mostly take the form of writing, but that writing itself took a particular form.
