The Situationists and the City

£14.99 Add to basket

The Situationist International (SI), led by Guy Debord and central to the Paris uprising in May 1968, published many incendiary texts on politics and art.  One theme central to their work was rethinking the city: from a site for routine consumption and work to a utopia that breaks down barriers between function and play.

Tom McDonough, collects together all of the SI's key essays on urbanism and the city.  Strikingly illustrated by images that were core to the SI project, it includes such texts as "Formulary for a New Urbanism," "The Theory of D érive" and much previously untranslated material including pieces by Mich èle Bernstein, Constant, Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Henri Lefebvre and Raoul Vaneigem.
