This book brings together leading researchers on the SI to provide a comprehensive critical analysis of the group's key concepts and contexts, from its relationship to earlier artistic avant-gardes, romanticism, Hegelianism, the history of the workers' movement and May '68 to the concepts and practices of 'spectacle', 'constructed situations', 'everyday life' and 'd騁ournement'. The volume also considers historically underexamined areas of the SI, including the situation of women in the group and its opposition to colonialism and racism. With contributions from a broad range of thinkers including Anselm Jappe and Michael Ly, this account takes a fresh look at the complex workings of a group that has come to define radical politics and culture in the post-war period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alastair Hemmens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745338895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745338897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.76d","brand":"Alastair Hemmens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988891566335,"sku":"9780745338897","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e85655aa-95d6-4d28-9d5f-8d84cfe9be75.jpg?v=1683296951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-situationist-international-alastair-hemmens-9780745338897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
