Arts and Politics of the Situationist International contextualizes
the SI within a comprehensive aesthetic and theoretical framework
that integrates its concepts and practical activities with previous
critical thinkers, political activists, artists, and poets. The SI
belongs to a history of radical gestures and cultural practices
concerned with re-imagining everyday life and overcoming
alienation. This book regards the SI as a critical
interdisciplinary endeavor in the history of consciousness,
particularly as a moment in an ongoing western-European trajectory
of aesthetic negation dating back to the early nineteenth century.
The chapters search for origins of the SI in French Symbolist
poetry, Dada and Surrealism, Hegelian-Marxism, and Lefebvrian
social theory in an effort to provide a clearly-defined 'something'
out of which the SI developed as an increasingly radical collective
of artists, writers, and theorists.
