I have homework to do: for the third time in the last couple of months, #Situationism has come across my path. I need to learn more. #SituationistInternational

I've been enjoying this French-language book on the Situationists by Vanessa Theodoropoulou, Le Monde en sitation 📖 🚶 🗺️ ꩜

„The Dan MacQuillan Episode“ from #ImperfectOfferings with @danmcquillan and Helen Beetham is really really substantial, and I am especially excited about the link to #SituationistInternational

In 1973 the #SituationistInternational released a strange, humorous, #film: CAN DIALECTICS BREAK BRICKS. In short, director René Viénet took a 1972 Hong Kong martial arts film, rewrote the dialog & story along #marxist & irreverent lines, & then dubbed it into French. It explores the development of class conflict through revolutionary agitation against a backdrop of graphic kung-fu fighting.

The quality of the copy below is atrocious but it's the only one I could find.

I've been rather fascinated with the #SituationistInternational. Below is a lecture that, I believe, gives a rather good overview on their basic ideas (although a lot more can be said).
