Summary
"This volume is a revised and expanded version of a special issue of the journal October (winter 1997) that was devoted to the work of the Situationist International (SI). The first section of the issue contained previously unpublished critical texts, and the second section contained translations of primary texts that previously had been unavailable in English. The emphasis was on the SI's profound engagement with the art and cultural politics of their time (1957-1972), with a strong argument for their primarily political and activist stance by two former members of the group, T.J. Clark and Donald Nicholson-Smith."--Jacket.
