Call It Sleep Part 2

Call It Sleep is the first visual work produced in the United States which makes use of the situationist technique of detournement - the devaluation and reuse of present and past cultural production to form a superior theoretical and practical unity.

This is not as good as "The Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord, but still has many important points from the american perspective. it is a VHS rip, a little poor quality, but still. Here it is. Enjoy...

5:05 - 5:55 very very true. Just ask Due Diligence related questions to charitable organizations. Notice the quality of the answers, if you get any.

Poor Hanoi Jane, constant bane of the far right, she gets it just as much from the far left.

its basically explaining what everyday life is then critising it, not convinced of its merit

[PerversePoly]

Forbiding fun and desire intensification as bourgouis, antirevolutionary or simply bad, however you want to call it is not a very smart move: It is a simplistic and straightforward denial of life force. Just a DEAD end.

[PerversePoly]

well if it´s about trying being smarter than the rest i agree with you. Still i think it´s a below the rate use of detournement, a technique than can be grate FUN to use and read and therefore quite effective as a critical tool,implying humour and irony -known ages earlier than situationists existed-.
