Situationist International - Part 2 of 3

[bapyou]

After the revolution, beheadings.

[MASSIF101]

these ideas are resurgent, amid mass opposition to government austerity measures is a limited but growing opposition to bourgeois culture in general. more and more I see political graffiti over adverts, at bus stops and billboards. One I saw a couple of days ago was "apathy is violence" over an advert for Levi's jeans.

My favorite graffiti in my city, which I too saw recently, was "FIRE TO THE PRISONS!" at the roof of an abandoned factory with the circle-A behind it.

DADA rehashed...

[nolderine]

he should cast himself as dr who

[darkattraktor]

Arrest the director, he's helping the police !!!!

[LovexandxRage]

Why does it say, "invalid arguments" at the top of the screen?

[yassymeeny]

If the guy in glasses was to look back on this, he'd be extremely embarrassed.

[lloplop]

why? because you think he made a mistake? 2 out of the 3 guys in the video are wearing glasses, by the way. maybe you should be embarrassed too

A video documentary on Situationism is by its very nature anti-Situationist.

Debord is spinning in his grave

[AskACholaTV]

Haha. He would probably just detourne it.

[holon67]

i didnt see it

[goodmorningcaptain00]

true, but the use of the phrase "situationism" is also by its nature very anti-situationist. ;)

[kurdaghasul]

i find the situationists interesting as i do surrealists and the dadaists, the futurists etc.. why does he wear those awful round glasses. i do hate the motion that suggests those who read such theories are obliged to have certain appearance restrictions. when i visit philosophy dep., i question why? why wear that! lols i am product of capitalism.

[YusefAsabiyah]

He wears the glasses because he's a pretentious little snit. What I want to know is why the makers of the documentary couldn't find a more knowledgeable, insightful "expert" to interview. Use of this feller is a serious mistake.

[kurdaghasul]

hahaha your strong stand is amusing! however i have come to a conclusion; most of those involved in the so called unorthodox ideologies have a certain tendency of being pretentious! beside this was intended for popular media i presume and i can see how he serves the purpose, i don't think they were looking for zizak like intellectuals to interview :) lol i think of him as of a higher intelligence Paris Hilton! he thinks he need to dress clever as paris does see he opposite befitting.

[YusefAsabiyah]

I don't think the situationists themselves were pretentious, however. In fact, I think the main reason I still think about them is I wish I could find a way to be politically involved and serious but with a sense of humor. The situationists at their best achieved this--admirable.

[Euroflounder]

I 'm pretty sure he wears glasses because he has bad vision, he wears turtleneck sweaters because he's a pretentious little snit.

[earinsound]

@Euroflounder

that's BARTON FINK, to you buddy

[Force10FromMimico]

@Euroflounder Not to mention the Eraserhead hair do.

[polaroideye]

I agree, I suppose they love the intellectual aesthetic? I do love the glasses though.

[luv2bud]

They want to be spectacular commodities. Behold: the stereotypical condescending pretentious intellectual!

[Ostendere]

I don't have a clue what the fuck any of this is about.

[aintpluggedin]

something like a semi-artistic movement. but the movement was very limited and small. I think it mainly comes from the interpretations of one man. his reactions and interpretations of one way he sees modern culture. apparently he had some followers.

[Ballardian]

Does anyone know where I can obtain copies of Guy Debord's own films? (preferably subtitled).

[kurdaghasul]

well (The Society of the Spectacle) is on youtube too!

[ElVirolo]

Uh. *Obviously* Godard had nothing to do with Debord. You should read "De la misère en milieu étudiant".

[mrbugler]

most interesing indeed. thankyou

[OttOmOlOtOv]

Excellent upload! Thanks.
