On the passage of a few people through rather a brief moment in time: the Situationist International, 1957-1972


Abstract

"These essays, original texts, photographs, comics, film stills, and color plates document the rich agit-art legacy of the Situationist International ... The Situationists' attempt to transform everyday life through paintings, films and manifestos, posters and pamphlets, acts and agitations, as well as the journal Internationale Situationiste, culminated in the 1968 student uprising in Paris and shifted the Situationist focus from aesthetic concerns to political instigation"--Back cover.
