The situationists have now taken their place in cultural history alongside the futurists, dadaists, and surrealists. In many ways the

process which led to the SI being elevated to the status of a cultural icon is as interesting as the history of this – or any other – avantgarde group. While there have been a number of monographs on the situationists published in recent years, this is the first anthology of shorter critical pieces about the S1. The collection is in no way definitive – which would require both a far larger book and a selection process less biased towards anglo-american perspectives. With only one exception, Jean Barrot’s Critique of the Situationist International, everything in this anthology was written in English and even this exception was first published as a translation. The texts run chronologically according to date of publication.
