Introduction CHAPTER 1 Introduction The SI had above all brought a new spirit into the theoretical debates about society, culture, and life. This spirit was assuredly revolutionary. Guy Debord, “The Beginning of an Era” ∵ The Situationist International (SI) was a European, mainly Paris-based artistic and political avant-garde group that formed in 1957, went through three distinct phases, and dissolved in 1972. The SI gained notoriety for sparking and fueling student protests at the University of Strasbourg in 1966 after the publication and circulation of Mustapha Khayati’s polemical pamphlet On the Poverty of Student Life, which is subtitled Considered in Its Economic, Political, Psycho- logical, Sexual, and Particularly Intellectual Aspects, and a Modest Proposal for Doing Away with It. The SI’s modest proposal was subversion in the service of the revolutionary project of dismantling Capitalism. In the fall of 1967, Guy Debord, the SI’s leader and principal theorist, published his classic book The Society of the Spectacle. Six months later, student protests at the University of Nanterre and then at the Sorbonne mushroomed into a massive general strike that by mid-May of 1968 saw over ten million workers—two-thirds of the entire French workforce—walk off the job, occupy factories, and protest in the streets, demanding the right to control all aspects of their labor and lives. Debord and several members of the SI were among those who occupied the Sorbonne and who battled the forces of order in the streets, and the SI published an account of its role in the events in Rene Vienet’s book titled Enragés and Situationists in the Occupation Movement, France, May ’68. In the aftermath of May ’68, however, the SI’s cohesiveness began to unravel, and in 1972, Debord formally dissolved the group with the publication of his book The Real Split in the International. For two decades after the SI’s dissolution in 1972, the group was written about mainly in relatively obscure, “underground” publications in Europe and the United States, as Ford has shown in his book The Realization and Suppres- sion of the Situationist International: An Annotated Bibliography, 1972–1992. That underground attention underwent a sea change within the context of the media-fueled nostalgia in France surrounding the 1988 anniversary of May ’68, © koninklijke brill nv, leideN, 2019 | DOI: 10.1163/9789004402010_001 James Trier - 9789004402010 Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 07:27:09PM via free access 2 CHAPTER 1 when retrospective exhibitions about the Situationist International were held in museums in Paris, London, and Boston in 1988–1989. The traveling exhibi- tion was titled On the Passage of a Few People through a Rather Brief Moment in Time: The Situationist International, 1957–1972. This retrospective marked the end of the SI’s relative obscurity in academia and the group’s “entry into the official culture of institutional curricula.”1 Since 1989, an extensive literature about the SI’s ideas, critical practices, and history has been produced by schol- ars from a wide range of academic disciplines. A review of this literature is presented in the second half of this introduc- tory chapter. In that review, I discuss my main contribution to SI scholarship, which is an edited book titled Détournement as Pedagogical Praxis. For now, I want to highlight a statement I wrote in the introductory chapter to that book. I remarked that while writing that book, I realized that much of what I had researched about the SI was actually material that went far beyond the scope of that book, and so I conceptualized another book. As I put it, In [the next] book, I will discuss the Situationist International’s origins, main figures, creative works, writings, history, and post-demise afterlife in academic scholarship and popular culture. Doing that will entail dis- cussing dada, surrealism, the Lettrists, the Lettrist International, psycho- geography, the dérive, unitary urbanism, détournement, architecture, painting, cinema, “scandals,” the Spectacle, May ’68, and more.2 Guy Debord, the Situationist International, and the Revolutionary Spirit is the very book that I described in the above passage. This book is a history of the Situationist International (SI) that begins with a chapter about the pre-SI Let- trist and Lettrist International years, then presents a chronological narrative of the SI’s three phases. Guy Debord’s Masterwork At the center of this book is Guy Debord. Though other SI members were also influential during different phases of the group—especially Danish artist and SI co-founder Asger Jorn—Debord was the most important, powerful, and enduring figure. He co-founded the SI, wrote its provisional platform essay “Report on the Construction of Situations,” served as the main editor of all twelve issues of the SI’s journal, organized the group’s annual conferences, cre- ated several of the group’s most important détournements, played a key role in the subversive actions by SI members during May ’68, and wrote the most well- James Trier - 9789004402010 Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 07:27:09PM via free access Introduction 3 known work produced by an SI member. No new members were admitted to the SI without Debord’s approval, and he authored or sanctioned all exclusions of members from the group. In the end, he alone possessed the authority to officially bring the group’s existence to its finality. This is all to say that without Debord, there would not have been a Situationist International. Debord is most known for his classic book The Society of the Spectacle, and his film of the same name is also considered a masterpiece among film schol- ars who have studied his six films, all of which are cinematic détournements. While I agree that both of these are important creative works, I think Debord’s masterwork was the Situationist International itself. Debord masterfully shaped and fashioned the SI into the last influential historic avant-garde group by maintaining the SI’s theoretical and practical coherence, by recording the SI’s history through a diverse array of texts, by collaborating with several mem- bers to produce some of the SI’s most important détournements, and by keep- ing the organization together over a long and tumultuous period of time, all the while envisioning and working toward a revolution of everyday life, which May ’68 seemed to be, at least for a brief period of time. This interpretation of the SI as Debord’s masterwork is one that I will develop throughout this book. Debord as the SI’s Main Archivist “Recuperation” is a term that Debord and SI members used to identify the strategies that Spectacle (Capitalism in its totality) deploys to trivialize and sterilize subversive discoveries and to co-opt revolutionary individuals and groups. SI co-founder Michele Bernstein (Debord’s wife) provided an excellent summation of the dialectical nature of détournement and recuperation when she wrote, “Power creates nothing, it recuperates,”3 meaning that the Specta- cle never consciously creates anything that is threateningly subversive to its domination. On the contrary, the Spectacle works relentlessly to depoliticize or to de-radicalize—i.e., to recuperate—anything that attempts to destabilize and undermine its authority and control, such as the very existence of the SI as a revolutionary avant-garde organization. Debord realized that a main tactic (along with détournement) for combatting the Spectacle’s recuperative strate- gies is to write one’s own history. In a broad sense, this is what Debord set out to do from the beginning of the SI. The SI’s journal Internationale Situationniste was a crucially important record of the group’s history in that every issue provided news updates about the SI’s subversive activities, group conferences, membership, and internal workings, as well as articles that articulated the SI’s revolutionary ideas, political analy- James Trier - 9789004402010 Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 07:27:09PM via free access 4 CHAPTER 1 ses, and critiques of spectacular culture. As the journal’s editor, Debord was simultaneously the SI’s main historian. Debord was also the SI’s vigilant archi- vist. He saved copies of nearly everything that the SI ever produced, including the twelve issues of its journal, the photographs that appeared in the journal, the détournements that members created, the group’s provocative tracts and leaflets, all of his letters to SI members, their letters to him, and so on. Most important is the fact that Debord and Jorn established a Situationist Library space in the Silkeborg Museum in Denmark in 1960. This came about in part because Jorn was able to financially support the project, which was a result of his growing fame as a painter, as well as his sudden accumulation of wealth from the sales of his paintings at that time. Silkeborg Museum was chosen as the site for the SI archive because Jorn had grown up in Silkeborg, and he supported the arts community there throughout his life, in part by financially supporting the Silkeborg Museum. The purpose of the Situationist Library was reported in Internationale Situationniste in 1960: “We do not doubt that, in the coming years, many specialist historians from Europe and America, and ultimately from Asia and Africa, will make the journey to Silkeborg with the sole end of completing and checking their research” into the history of the SI.4 (This prediction has indeed come true.) The establishment of the Situa- tionist Library made it possible for the SI to avoid disappearing into oblivion and instead to continually erupt into the present, as it has done since 1989’s international exhibition. Though Jorn’s financial backing was instrumental in founding both the Silkeborg Museum and the SI library, Debord was the one who ensured that as many SI materials as possible made it to the library.

  • The Game of War, MW-Spring 2008
    The Game of War: Debord as Strategist By McKenzie Wark for Issue 29 Sloth Spring 2008 The only member of the Situationist International to remain at its dissolution in 1972 was Guy Debord (1931–1994). He is often held to be synonymous with the movement, but anti- Debordist accounts rightly stress the role of others, such as Asger Jorn (1914–1973) or Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920–2005) who both left the movement as it headed out of its “aesthetic” phase towards its ostensibly more “political” one. Take, for example, Constant’s extraordinary New Babylon project, which he began while a member of the Situationist International and continued independently after separating from it. Constant imagined an entirely new landscape for the earth, one devoted entirely to play. But New Babylon is a landscape that began from the premise that the transition to this new landscape is a secondary problem. Play is one of the key categories of Situationist thought and practice, but would it really be possible to bring this new landscape for play into being entirely by means of play itself? This is the locus where the work of Constant and Debord might be brought back into some kind of relation to each other, despite their personal and organizational estrangement in 1960. Constant offered the kinds of landscape that the Situationists experiments might conceivably bring about. It was Debord who proposed an architecture for investigating the strategic potential escaping from the existing landscape of overdeveloped or spectacular society. Between the two possibilities lies the situation. Debord is best known as the author of The Society of the Spectacle (1967), but in many ways it is not quite a representative text.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Iain Sinclair’s London is a labyrinthine city split by multiple forces deliriously replicated in the complexity and contradiction of his own hybrid texts. Sinclair played an integral role in the ‘psychogeographical turn’ of the 1990s, imaginatively mapping the secret histories and occulted alignments of urban space in a series of works that drift between the subject of topography and the topic of subjectivity. In the wake of Sinclair’s continued association with the spatial and textual practices from which such speculative theses derive, the trajectory of this variant psychogeography appears to swerve away from the revolutionary impulses of its initial formation within the radical milieu of the Lettrist International and Situationist International in 1950s Paris towards a more literary phenomenon. From this perspective, the return of psychogeography has been equated with a loss of political ambition within fin de millennium literature.

  • How Language Looks: on Asger Jorn and Noël Arnaud's La Langue Verte*
    How Language Looks: On Asger Jorn and No ël Arnaud’s La Langue verte* STEVEN HARRIS In November 1968, the Paris publisher Jean-Jacques Pauvert brought out Asger Jorn and Noël Arnaud’s La Langue verte et la cuite , an event accompanied by a banquet for 2,000 at a Danish restaurant in Paris, and a considerable response from the press, though the book has largely dropped from view since. 1 Initially titled La Langue crue et la cuite , the book was written in French by artist Asger Jorn, founding member of Cobra and of the Situationist International, and revised by Arnaud, member of the Surrealist “Main à plume” group in occupied Paris, founding member of the Revolutionary Surrealist group in postwar Paris (with which Jorn was also involved), and later regent in the Collège de ’Pataphysique. 2 Jorn, in addition to writing the text, also chose the illustrations, while Arnaud added sections of his own and reordered the material in collaboration with Jorn. It is thus the collective labor of two individuals who had first met in Paris in 1946, and who were both involved in the Revolutionary Surrealist group, a splinter group of Communist persuasion that had seceded from the main body of the Surrealist group shortly before the opening of its exhibition Le Surréalisme en 1947 , at the Galerie Maeght. If Cobra was very much ori - ented against Arnaud when it was first formed in 1948, the paths of the two men crossed numerous times in subsequent years. Jorn turned to Arnaud as a trusted friend who was in in sympathy with his aims, who corrected Jorn’s rather casual French, and who in general was willing to lend a hand to the enterprise.

  • 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.

  • Psychogeography: Framing Urban Experience
    Psychogeography: Framing Urban Experience The cross-disciplinary thought given to the city, particularly over the past forty years, has led to its reconceptualisation in terms of urban -economic, sociopolitical, and more recently cultural- relations. This has provided the context for often generalised observations of subjective urban experience, recalling Simmel’s investigations of industrial metropolitan individuality, and a recycling of artistic practices like psychogeography that engaged with the urban imaginary and everyday life. Initially, “the word psychogeography,” so Guy Debord’s story goes, was a neologism, “suggested by an illiterate Kabyle as a general term for a phenomena a few of us were investigating around the summer of 1953”. The directeur of the Lettrist International (LI), and from 1957-72, also Situationist International (SI), goes on to explain this phenomena as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals.”1 In practice, this was approached with emphatically un-academic methods, the most established being the dérive. With a backward glance at surrealist automatism, this recreational tactic properly entailed several psychogeographers together negotiating “urban ambiences” -frequently in Paris, but also in Amsterdam, London, Venice- talking and taking advantage of any bars en route. Such diversions were documented in written accounts and psychogeographical maps, and thus described in the LI’s journal Potlatch and the SI’s Internationale Situationniste. Moreover, the resulting conclusions were applied in proposals for a unitary urbanism that reimagined the city as a site of play, creating disorientating ‘situations’ for the ludic education of its inhabitants.

However, little research has considered the proximity of Rover’s closure in 2005 to another seminal event for the city – the opening of the Bullring shopping centre in 2003. These events appear indicative of Daniel Bell’s conception of ‘post- industrialism’. This thesis uses the tradition of ‘psychogeography’ to critique post- industrialism in Birmingham, examining the city’s collective psyche from a dynamic literary perspective. In Chapter 1, Daniel Bell’s predictions (made in 1973) of the likely characteristics of a post-industrial society are outlined and measured against recent economic and social events in Birmingham. In Chapter 2, the tradition of psychogeography is critically analysed, from Situationism and Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City in the 1960s to the contemporary works of Iain Sinclair and Rebecca Solnit.

    In the Footnotes of Library Angels: A Bi(bli)ography of Insurrectionary Imagination Dear Reader Before we begin on this journey in search of words and images that speak of the insurrectionary imagination1; Before we bend those fragile spines and flick through brittle pages to reveal moments where the spirit of art2 and activism merge3; Before we drift4 through these words, fingering paper, armed with footnotes5 guiding our steps across this library. I want to ask you a question - Do you believe in Library Angels? 1 The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (lab of ii) was founded in 2004 by myself, the artists activist, The Vacuum cleaner ( see his DVD - The Vacuum Cleaner, Anti Adverts, 2003 ref: D0180) and radical educator Isabelle Fremeaux. The lab of ii is an ephemeral network of socially engaged artists and activists whose work falls in between resistance and creativity, culture and politics, art and life. It believes that playful forms of cultural intervention in everyday life and the development of free convivial spaces that enable participants to cultivate full confidence in their own creative capacity are fundamental tools for social change. Experiment 1 in Autumn 2004 was part of the big alter-globalisation movement gathering, The European Social Forum. Experiment 2 took place in Summer 2005 and involved touring to 9 cities in the UK with a caravan run on chip fat, infiltrating department stores with ‘prayers to products’ and training several hundred rebel clowns for civil disobedience at the G8 summit - See The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination – 13 experiments in hope DVD. ref: D0261 2 It is useful to remember that the division between art and life is only a fairly recent one( circa 17th century).
