TOO BAD THEY ARE ALL REFUTED!This week Jason and Andrew watched and discussed Guy Debord's follow up to his Society of the Spectacle film, which is essentially a clapback at his haters.

This week, we're sharing another presentation from the 2024 ACABookfair in so-called Asheville. On youtube you'll find the audio sync'd up with the slideshow presentation from the bookfair by visiting youtube.com/@thefinalstrawradio. The following is a recording from the 2024 Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair in so-called Asheville, NC. You can find more info and recordings from this and other years at ACABookfair.NoBlogs.Org. This is a presentation entitled Art as a Vehicle for Anarchist Ideas with N.O. Bonzo, Des Revol, and Sugarbombing World. From the description: “Three longtime anarchist artists—N.O. Bonzo, Des Revol, and Sugarbombing World—will explore the role that art plays in resistance and movements, along with remembrance of the past and visions of the future. They'll look at ways that art brings people together, and can serve as a great tool, whether in organizing and agitating, and/or inviting people into anarchism.”

With his phenomenal new book, A NATURAL HISTORY OF EMPTY LOTS: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys and Other Wild Places (Timber Press), Christopher Brown shifts from novels into nature-writing/memoir/nonfiction mode and I am HERE for it. We talk about the eco-cosmos of East Austin, TX, the years of observation that opened him to the hidden pockets of wildness in urban environments, why solitude in nature is a myth, what we have to gain from taking a long walk, Long Time vs. the short presence of Anglos in Texas, how 2020's lockdown turned off global capitalism and showed how society might truly change, and how this book mutated from when we talked about it at Readercon 2023. We get into Bruce Sterling's unforgettable critique of his writing, the process of turning a narrative of colonization into one of decolonization, (eco)psychogeography & the Situationists, why he (begrudgingly) brought the personal/memoiristic into the book and how it helped him come to terms with himself, and what a workshop with horror writers taught him about the truth-telling power of non-redemptive storytelling. We also discuss the design flaws of the agricultural revolution, how his readers in different regions respond to his FIELD NOTES newsletter, the nature of mysticism and writing a narrative about transcending the self, hiking a Massachusetts marsh in summer with Jeff VanderMeer, and plenty more.

In this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, with speak with Bill Brown, author of the publication Not Bored, about the history and enduring legacy of the Situationist International (SI). The SI was a small group of autonomous anti-capitalists, based largely in France, who in the 1950s and 1960s, developed a sweeping critique of contemporary... Read Full Article

Send us a Text Message.This week I dive back into some philosophical theory related to why we are so prone to struggle with anxiety, addiction and alienation in today's world. Guy Debord wrote The Society of the Spectacle more than 50 years ago, and in it he explained the current state of so-called "Western Cultures" as having moved from the importance of being  to a culture where the importance is on having, and eventually, on to the importance being placed on appearance only (to appear to own something by snapping a photo is good enough).As a culture, we are now completely preoccupied with and focused on the spectacle, not the real. It's more important to change your Facebook banner to an LGBTQ+ flag on the right day to show your support than it is to support LGBTQ+ people in your heart. It's more important to be seen as having the perfect family or the perfect life than it is to actually build the perfect family or the perfect life. Some people drive $60k cars and live in crumbling homes. In today's cultural setting, a reputation for success requires the complete abandonment of one's personal identity in exchange for the stock characteristics that the audience wants in a performer — whether Marylin Manson actually drinks blook or Ozzy Osborn actually worships the devil doesn't matter. Only the spectacle of performance is valued.I also cover Marx's theory of capitalism increasing alienation, the Frankfurt School's and the Situationists' (many of the same people) work on how Marx's world of commodity fetishism expanded to spectacle fetishism (the appearance came to be more important than the real), and Debord's (and re-Marx's) concept of magic properties bestowed upon commodities if producers can manage to hide the actual process of manufacturing from the public. Before you listen to this episode, you might want to take a moment to listen to Macklemore's "Wings." on YouTube here, or anywhere you stream music.

In this episode Jeremy and Tim are joined by writer, historian, and friend of the show Simon Reynolds to discuss British musical trends of the 1970s and his life as a music journalist. Simon is arguably the most important music critic writing today, having penned seminal books on post-punk, electronic dance music, feminist rock and much more. In this interview he mostly talks about his most recent book, ‘Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-First Century', sharing stories from his childhood interest in the decadent world of Glam. The three discuss how so many artists came to aestheticise a rejection of suburbia, the purply gauze of Top of the Pops, and thinking the Situationists were a band. They unpick how Punk is imagined and historicised versus how it was experienced, how Simon came to reappraise the 60s against a hostile critical culture, and consider the role of the music press historically and today. For patrons, our extended edition also includes a discussion around Simon's 2011 book ‘Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to its Own Past'. Tim, Jeremy and Simon recount the particular conjuncture from which the book arose, tease out its key theses, and apply those to contemporary music culture. Simon Reynolds is the author of ‘Blissed Out: The Raptures of Rock', ‘The Sex Revolts: Gender, Rebellion and Rock 'N' Roll' with Joy Press, ‘Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture', ‘Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984', ‘Bring The Noise: 20 Years of Writing About Hip Rock and Hip-Hop', ‘Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past' and ‘Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-First Century'. His next book, ‘Futuromania: Electronic Dreams from Moroder to Migos' is forthcoming. Tracklist: Scott Joplin - The Entertainer Ian Dury & the Blockheads - Plaistow Patricia The Rezillos - Top Of The Pops The Specials - Ghost Town Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

We discuss his relation to the Situationists, his break with Marxism, and the ultimate conclusions of his theory of simulation and simulacra.

L'un des créateurs de la bande son du Londres de la fin des années 70 s'appelle Don Letts. Ce Dj producteur et cinéaste sort un 1er album sous son nom Outta Sync à l'âge de 66 ans. (Rediffusion) Don Letts est le 1er de la série vidéo #secreticône avec RFI Vidéos voir la vidéo.Qu'il s'agisse de travailler avec des artistes comme The Clash et Bob Marley, de mélanger les genres avec Big Audio Dynamite, de présenter sa propre émission de radio sur BBC6 Music, de gagner un Grammy et de recevoir un doctorat honorifique pour sa contribution à la culture, Don Letts semble avoir tout fait. En effet, avec la sortie de son autobiographie à succès « There and Black Again » l'année dernière et « Rebel Dread », un film retraçant sa vie sortie cette année, on pourrait penser que c'est le cas. Mais il y a une chose que le polymathe de 66 ans n'a pas faite... jusqu'à maintenant.Aujourd'hui, Don Letts partage Outta Sync, son premier titre en tant qu'artiste solo et le premier aperçu de son premier album, également intitulé Outta Sync, qui a été produit par Gaudi et est sorti le 28 avril 2023. L'album, qui a suivi le single au printemps 2023, est un cocktail enivrant de rythmes de basse lourde, de vibrations insulaires et de mots parlés juxtaposés à des accroches et des harmonies mélodiques. L'album est exactement ce que l'on attend d'un projet de Don Letts. Outta Sync, le titre de l'album, est également remarquable car il s'agit de l'une des rares chansons à présenter une vie aussi riche en histoires en un seul couplet : « Maintenant, à cause de ma dualité, élevé sur la pop et la basse, ça ne m'a pas vraiment dérangé, parce que tout est question de goût, je suis la génération vinyle, et c'est comme ça que j'ai commencé, en combinant les vêtements et la musique, et je l'ai transformé en art. » Et ce n'est que l'introduction ! Don poursuit sa réflexion sur le monde changeant qui l'entoure et sur ses propres perceptions changeantes.Ironiquement, il n'avait pas vraiment l'intention de faire sa propre musique. Mais le confinement a frappé et son vieil ami, Youth, producteur et bassiste de Killing Joke, l'a encouragé à essayer, lui envoyant même quelques lignes de basse pour travailler, mais Don n'était pas entièrement convaincu. Cela change lorsqu'il travaille en studio avec le légendaire producteur de dub anglo-italien Gaudi, un autre ami de longue date de Don, connu pour son travail avec Steel Pulse, Lee « Scratch » Perry et Horace Andy, pour ne citer qu'eux. Le duo a produit un remake de 'Sightsee MC' de Big Audio Dynamite pour le groupe post-punk Megative, inspiré par le dub. Ils ont ensuite collaboré à un remix dub du classique de B.A.D. 'E=MC2' pour la compilation Late Night Tales 'Version Excursion' de 2021. Don et Gaudi ont eu un déclic sonore et ont fini par travailler ensemble dans le studio londonien de Gaudi pendant neuf mois, naviguant à la fois entre le confinement et la vision orchestrale de Don. Le résultat est le premier album solo de Letts, qui sortira l'année prochaine, produit et co-écrit par Gaudi.Avec ses onze titres, pour la plupart écrits par lui-même, Outta Sync reflète la myriade de ses goûts et intérêts, ainsi que sa vision unique du monde. Il met également en lumière un éventail intrigant d'invités : le légendaire Terry Hall des Specials, Wayne Coyne des Flaming Lips fait une apparition, tout comme la reine du rock en amoureux Hollie Cook. Don a coécrit la chanson « Situationist » avec Zoe Devlin Love, anciennement d'Alabama 3. La fille de Don, Honor, reste dans la famille et chante sur le groove électronique « Civilization » aux accents de sitar. Gaudi complète le tout en jouant du piano et des synthétiseurs sur l'ensemble de l'album. Collectivement, c'est un instantané de qui est vraiment Don Letts ici et maintenant. Letts dit : « pour le meilleur ou pour le pire, c'est moi, même si je ne dis pas que j'ai tout compris, comme le reconnaissent les paroles du refrain du single. En fin de compte, l'album est une bande mon esprit avec quelques lignes de basse cool, reflétant la somme totale de mon parcours culturel et la dualité de mon existence, qui est noire et britannique ».Playlist- Outta Sync Don Letts voir le clip - Gangsters The Specials - Punky Reggae Party Bob Marley- Public Image PIL- London Calling The Clash- Civilization Don Letts (feat.

After a brief hiatus, Ajay and Isi are back with another episode of (Pop) Cultural Marxism! In episode 7, they sojourn amidst the splendid ruins of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the much celebrated 2023 game from Nintendo's EPD development group, directed and produced by Hidemaro Fujibayashi and Eiji Aonuma. Before delving into the series' past and present iterations, the two spend some time catching up on what's new at the movies—including the expected summer blockbusters, relative degrees of quackery, and other matters. Then it's on to Nintendo and its quasi-mercantilist business model, the awe-inspiring complexity of the latest entry in the Zelda franchise, leading to excurses on Situationist psychogeography, flânerie, combinatorial aesthetics, architectural reasoning and silent film techniques. Taking up Tears of the Kingdom as a kind of Trauerspiel in the Benjaminian sense, they explore the dialectical tension between humor and mourning, diegetic and critical knowledge formation, comparative religion, and the beauty of works that are incomparably more than the sum (or multiplication) of their parts. Stay tuned for answers to burning listener questions on the game's environmental (or extractivist) dimensions—with reference to Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke—and the (fairly incomprehensible) class structure of Hyrule.

Richard Gilman-Opalsky is a professor of politics at the University of Illinois Springfield. In this episode, he joins Kenny and Kyle to discuss his 2016 book ‘Specters of Revolt: On the Intellect of Insurrection and Philosophy from Below', as well as his more recent project. Richard's approach is guided by French theorists associated with the Situationist movement, and draws on the vast history of revolt, from the Third Servile War to the Zapatistas, seeking to explain the prospects for resistance to capitalism today. As well as this, Richard discusses the relation between Marxism and anarchism, the limitations of utopianism, and the manipulation of desire.Specters of Revolt can be purchased here: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/specters-of-revolt-on-the-intellect-of-insurrection-and-philosophy-from-below/Support Zer0 Books  and Repeater Media on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zerobooksSubscribe: http://bit.ly/SubZeroBooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books-----Other links:Check out the projects of some of the new contributors to Zer0 Books:Acid HorizonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/acidhorizonMerch: crit-drip.comThe Philosopher's Tarot from Repeater Books: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/The Horror VanguardApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/horror-vanguard/id1445594437Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorvanguardBuddies Without OrgansApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/buddies-without-organs/id1543289939Website: https://buddieswithout.org/Xenogothic: https://xenogothic.com/

The path. The way. The journey. Such concepts shift our focus from dogma and religious hierarchies, which helps us get out of the way of the way (tao). Behind all of this is a discussion of Guy Debord, the Situationists,the dérive, and psychogeography. We explore meditation through wandering and walking, the importance of attending to space, looking for synchronicities in our environment, and recognizing the ways in which capitalist society separates us from direct experience and connections with each other. Mindfulness techniques like aboriginal walkabouts, prayer labyrinths and religious pilgrimages can be powerful tools for emancipation.

Vivienne Westwood is a fashion designer who was known for drawing from historical influences and sending messages with her designs. She got her start within the punk scene, brought parody of British royalty into her runways designs, and later became focused on climate issues. And so more so than with other designers we are drawn to asking questions about her ideologies - how did they develop, and to some degree, how genuinely are they reflected in her work?   If you think you have deja vu, you don't. We did do a Vivienne Westwood series last year but we are back with a bigger, better (more researched) series that explores her design ideologies and design craft. This episode focuses on her working class roots, her influence on the punk scene, and how her views were impacted by Malcolm McClaren and The Situationists.   Main Sources: Vivienne Westwood - Ian Kelly and Vivienne Westwood An Unfashionable Life - Jane Mulvagh   We're socialists, so follow us on our socials! @fashismpod on Instagram and TikTok Email us at fashismpod@gmail.com

From 1957 to 1972, the Situationist International published a slew of articles, pamphlets, films and journals trying to bring theoretical Marxist debates into everyday life and change public consciousness. Today we read a few of these articles on topics including art, revolution, and the Los Angeles Watts riots to see what of their imagination might be recovered.   Links to Articles: "The Revolution of Modern Art and the Modern Art of Revolution" https://www.cddc.vt.edu/sionline/si/modernart.html "The Decline and Fall of the Spectacle-Commodity Economy" https://www.cddc.vt.edu/sionline/si/decline.html Don't miss any episodes and support our work! https://patreon.com/plasticpills

Hope and Jackie talk about the British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, whose working class roots and punk rock path to fashion make for a truly juicy story. This episode focuses on these earlier years, including her relationship with Malcolm McLaren, who was involved with The Situationists and later formed the band The Sex Pistols. They definitely fudge the story of Sid and Nancy but please forgive them.   Episode based on An Unfashionable Life by Jane Mulvagh, Threaducation, and other sources.   We're socialists, so follow us on our socials! @fashismpod on Instagram and TikTok Email us at fashismpod@gmail.com

We are the places we live, and the places we live are us. Places made by oil, coal, and gas, by roads, and by industry.  Where the choices we make about what to feel and where to go are  shaped by the very things that are at the heart of the climate crisis. Eek. Psychogeography's about turning left when you're supposed to go right. Going into nuclear exclusion zones when you're not supposed to. Wandering off the beaten track,  seeing what happens and who you meet. And  stopping to think for a bit to notice where you are, and what's around you  - and what isn't. It's a bit of a brain-melter. So joining Dave this week is Dr Philippa Holloway - academic, author, novelist and professional psychogeographer, to talk him (very patiently) through it all. You'll find Philippa on Twitter @thejackdawspen. Extra reading as highlighted by the owl noises: -- 22:33: An introduction to Sartre & anti-praxis. Not for the faint of heart. -- 23.58: How colour-changing cats (really) might warn the future about nuclear waste. -- 28:09. The Situationists. All very French. -- 36.54. Philippa's thesis. I wasn't making it up, I've actually read the whole thing. It's ace. Your Brain on Climate is a podcast about human psychology vs the climate crisis: what we think, why we think it, and how it all adds up to a planet-sized emergency.  Contact the show:  @brainclimate on Twitter, or hello@yourbrainonclimate.com. The show is hosted by Dave Powell, who you can find @powellds on Twitter.  All music throughout the show and audio production is by Dave, because he's far too much of a control freak to let anyone else loose on it.

As an adult you have responsibilities, and life settles into routine. Researchers have found that even in the most boring jobs, workers find ways to introduce elements of play to make the time pass, while people with more creative occupations use play to free their imaginations and release creativity. The Situationist art movement of 1950s Paris thought that play was a political act, and that the city could be used as a playground to rebel against the restrictions of capitalism. Their legacy lives on in the immersive “street games”, such as snakes and ladders played in multi storey car parks and city-wide zombie hunts. But this natural tendency to play is also being co-opted by employers, some of whom want to “gamify” boring jobs, to make workers more productive by turning the tasks into a game, or who encourage their employers to play at work to make them more creative. Can workers really be asked to play on demand, and what happens when they play in ways that the employers never expected or wanted? Presenter: Steffan Powell Producer: Jolyon Jenkins

This is The Science of Winning at Life, Part 5: The Good News of Situationist Psychology, published by lukeprog. Part of the sequence: The Science of Winning at Life In 1961, Stanley Milgram began his famous obedience experiments. He found that ordinary people would deliver (what they believed to be) excruciatingly painful electric shocks to another person if instructed to do so by an authority figure. Milgram claimed these results showed that in certain cases, people are more heavily influenced by their situation than by their internal character. Fifty years and hundreds of studies later, this kind of situationism is widely accepted for broad domains of human action. People can inflict incredible cruelties upon each other in a prison simulation.b Hurried passersby step over a stricken person in their path, while unhurried passersby stop to help.a Willingness to help varies with the number of bystanders, and with proximity to a fragrant bakery or cofee shop.c The list goes on and on.d Our inability to realize how powerful the effect situation has on human action is so well-known that it has a name. Our tendency to over-value trait-based explanations of others' behavior and under-value situation-based explanations of their behavior is called the fundamental attribution error (aka correspondence bias). Recently, some have worried that this understanding undermines the traditional picture we have of ourselves as stable persons with robust characteristics. How can we trust others if their unpredictable situation may have so powerful an effect that it overwhelms the effect of their virtuous character traits? But as I see it, situationist psychology is wonderful news, for it means we can change! If situation has a powerful effect on behavior, then we have significant powers to improve our own behavior. It would be much worse to discover that our behavior was almost entirely determined by traits we were born with and cannot control. For example, drug addicts can be more successful in beating addiction if they change their peer group - if they stop spending recreational time with other addicts, and spend time with drug-free people instead, or in a treatment environment.e Improving rationality What about improving your rationality? Situationist psychology suggests it may be wise to surround yourself with fellow rationalists. Having now been a visiting fellow with the Singularity Institute for only two days, I can already tell that almost everyone I've met who is with the Singularity Institute or has been through its visiting fellows program is a level or two above me - not just in knowledge about Friendly AI and simulation arguments and so on, but in day-to-day rationality skills. It's fascinating to take part in a conversation with really trained rationalists. It might go something like this: Person One: "I suspect that P, though I know that cognitive bias A and B and C are probably influencing me here. However, I think that evidence X and Y offer fairly strong support for P." Person Two: "But what about Z? This provides evidence against P because blah blah blah..." Person One: "Huh. I hadn't thought that. Well, I'm going to downshift my probability that P." Person Three: "But what about W? The way Schmidhuber argues is this: blah blah blah." Person One: "No, that doesn't work because blah blah blah." Person Three: "Hmmm. Well, I have a lot of confusion and uncertainty about that." This kind of thing can go on for hours, and not just on abstract subjects like simulation arguments, but also on more personal issues like fears and dreams and dating. I've had several of these many-hours-long group conversations already - people arguing vigorously, often 'trashing' others' views (with logic and evidence), but with everybody apparently willing to update their beliefs, nobody getting mad or...

This episode of Season 5 of the BSP Podcast features Pablo Fernandez Velasco, Institut Jean Nicod. The presentation is taken from our 2020 annual conference: ‘Engaged Phenomenology' Online.   ABSTRACT: This paper provides a comparative phenomenological analysis of the navigational practices of Evenki reindeer herders in arctic Siberia and of the artistic dérives (drifting excercises) of the Situationist movement. This paper will build on an existing analysis of the phenomenology of disorientation (Fernandez 2020, which focused on the negative aspects of the phenomenon) and on ethnographic research among the Evenki natives of central Siberia. Evenki reindeer herders and hunters have unique navigation methods that result in a very special relationship to their environment. A central aspect of this relationship is the feeling of being ‘manakan' (‘making your own way' in Evenki language), a feeling of autonomy and independence. A study of Evenki navigational style and its relationship to manakan will serve to elucidate the workings behind the emergence of the positive aspects of spatial disorientation. Section 1 introduces the topic. Section 2 provides an overview of the phenomenology of spatial disorientation. In section 3, we will introduce the case of Evenki reindeer herders and hunters and discuss their navigational methods, using both our own ethnographic work and previously existing research. Section 4 will analyse the central features of the experience of manakan in Evenki culture and how it relates to the positive aspects of spatial disorientation. Section 5 will provide a conclusion and potential avenues for future research.   BIO: I am a doctoral researcher working at Institut Jean Nicod, an interdisciplinary research centre at the interface of philosophy and cognitive science. The focus of my work is on how space structures our experience of the world and of ourselves. The topic of my doctoral thesis is the phenomenology of spatial disorientation. Studying disorientation is studying how, through our bodies, culture and technology, we humans are connected to our environment, and what happens when this connection is weakened or severed.   This recording is taken from the BSP Annual Conference 2020 Online: 'Engaged Phenomenology'. Organised with the University of Exeter and sponsored by Egenis and the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health. BSP2020AC was held online this year due to global concerns about the Coronavirus pandemic.

Stuart and Andie talk with Jason Silva, philosopher, futurist, and host of National Geographic's Brain Games, Shots of Awe, and the Flow Sessions podcast. Their talk is a wild ride through the nature of reality. It's a mind-melting mind-meld of meanings as burners and as earthlings. It's a hint on how to — as Larry Harvey said — “wash your own brain." They discuss life, death and how a bicycle can induce synchronicity and reverie.  They explore how psychedelics can induce pivotal mental states of suggestibility for brainwashing ourselves for the better, or succumbing to delusional thinking, or both. They discuss scheduling nowness and eternity. They try to control their ecstatic surrender, and if you listen closely, you may hear a love story hidden between all the philosophy quotations. Finally, they explore key ingredients to Burning Man's secret sauce that doesn't exist. But then again, does existence even exist? https://www.thisisjasonsilva.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClYb9NpXnRemxYoWbcYANsAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzm6YkEw8NU

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll philosophize.Stuart and Andie take a wild ride with Caveat Magister. They discuss how to transform daily life with psychomagical experiences. They illustrate the power of art, ritual and play, and the magic of love. They reveal the secret sauce of Black Rock City, and the triumphs and failures of experience design. They explain engineered disperfection, miracles without religion, and nightlife as a spiritual pursuit. And everything else. Caveat is one of the few who comprise the Philosophical Center of Burning Man Project. For a dozen years he has been a people-person at BRC's Media Mecca, then the lead writer for Burning Man's education program, then the author of a book about Burning Man culture. His new book is a deeper cut on the phenomenon: “Turn Your Life Into Art: Lessons in Psychomagic from the San Francisco Underground.”journal.burningman.org/author/cmagisterfascinatingstranger.comThe Scene That Became Cities: What Burning Man Philosophy Can Teach Us About Building Better Communitiestwitter.com/BenjaminWachs

In this episode we are returning to a conversation held during Melbourne Design Week in March 2020 about the multiplicity of place arising from urban play. It begins with how First Peoples connection to place creates ways of being that enable reimagination, reconnection and reconfiguration of the world. Boon Wurrung elder, N'arweet Carolyn Briggs speaks with RMIT academic Dr Olivia Guntarik, ACMI's Seb Chan and Dr Troy Innocent about her knowledge and experience of place, navigating two knowledge systems in her daily life in Melbourne - the city that is now and the patterns that lie beneath that city. In the second part of this episode, we talk to Lee Shang Lun about play as a methodology for anti-disciplinary art - returning to the role of The Situationists in reshaping cities and urban life.

In the wake of the coronavirus epidemic and shutting down of much of the UK's cultural life, we have decided to bring you a series of interviews with contemporary artists, writers, filmmakers and other cultural figures, conducted via Skype (so apologies for the diminished audio quality), about their practices, the political issues that inspire them and the socio-economic conditions that have shaped their work. In the nineteenth of these Sessions, Juliet talks to Belgian artist, filmmaker and writer Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven about her recent retrospective in Berlin and its relationship to a work by Situationist theorist Raoul Vaneigem; her contribution to a group exhibition on the early 21st century, responding to Paul Van Ostaijen's epic poem Occupied City (1922); and her ongoing interests in feminism, the female body and technology.

In this episode I talk about one of my favorite psychological concepts, which is Attribution Theory, and its primary components, dispositional and situational explanations. This is a core theory within social psychology, specifically social cognition. The main reason I chose this subject is how relevant this is to our everyday life, and how we make judgments of people. Listen in for my challenge to you, to be more more a Situationist thinker, not a Dispositionist.

The essay can be read here https://theanarchistlibrary.org/libra...   An essay on the relevance of Max Stirner to the Anarcho-communist movement.   Recommended Reading The Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner. Stirner’s only book and magnum opus. Unfortunately, there is still only one English translation available, Stephen T. Byington’s. Wolfi Landstreicher is currently working on a new one, slated to appear in the near future. Stirner’s Critics by Max Stirner. In this essay, Stirner (speaking in the third person throughout) clarifies some misinterpretations of his philosophy. The False Principle of Our Education by Max Stirner. In this article, which predates the publication of The Ego and its Own, Stirner critiques both the humanism of the aristocratic style of education, which aimed to produce disinterested scholars, and the realism of the democratic school of thought, which aimed to produce useful citizens. Stirner, while tending to favor the latter, argues that the goal of education should instead be the cultivation of free, self-creating individuals. “The Individual, Society, and the State” by Emma Goldman. Goldman’s most “Stirnerian” essay. “Victims of Morality” by Emma Goldman. In this essay Goldman attacks the spook of morality as a lie “detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people.” The Right to be Greedy: Theses on the Practical Necessity of Demanding Absolutely Everything by For Ourselves. An inspired fusion of Stirner and Marx by this short-lived Situationist-influenced group. For Ourselves argue that “greed in its fullest sense is the only possible basis of communist society. The present forms of greed lose out, in the end, because they turn out to be not greedy enough.” The Minimum Definition of Intelligence by For Ourselves. A critique of ideology and fixed thought coupled with theses concerning the construction of one’s own critical self-theory. The Soul of Man [sic] Under Socialism by Oscar Wilde. This beautiful essay is one of the most eloquent egoist defenses of libertarian communism ever penned. It is not known for certain whether Wilde actually read Stirner; however, he could read German and similarities in style between this text and The Ego make it seem likely that he did. In any case, this anarcho-dandy’s writing is invaluable to the serious student of egoism. Max Stirner’s Dialectical Egoism: A New Interpretation by John F. Welsh. The most thorough and coherent exploration of Stirner’s thought available in English. An exploration of Stirner’s philosophy, his influence on the thinkers Benjamin Tucker, James L. Walker, and Dora Marsden, and an investigation of the relationship between Stirner and Nietzsche.

Can Dialectics Break Bricks? is the 1973 film from Rene Vienet which is a re-dubbing of the 1972 film Crush. The film re-tells re-tells the story of Crush as the story of a bunch of rotten bureaucrats who have oppressed the working class long enough. The workers look forward to a day when the landlords will all hang, priests will be cut in two and the churches will be burned to the ground.Spencer Parsons and Rob St. Mary join Mike to to discuss the Situationist movement, detournement, and its modern implications.Learn more about your ad choices.

Half a century ago, revolt broke out around the world, making the year 1968 synonymous with left-wing rebellion. In France, students and workers paralyzed the country during a heady month of massive wildcat strikes and factory occupations, during which the government feared it would be toppled. Donald Nicholson-Smith discusses May '68 and the Situationist ideas that helped fuel the upheaval. The post May 1968 and the Situationist International appeared first on KPFA.

The recent World Cup prompted widespread protests across Brazil. In our 25th episode, we discuss why these protests took place, who participated, and how they connected to the uprisings of the last year. We share an audio collage of protest voices, an interview with Brazilian anarchists, and a Situationist-inspired critique of mass sports spectacles. The new green anarchist journal Black Seed appears on the Chopping Block, while a Ukrainian anarchist offers perspective on why things may not be so bleak there for anarchists as we thought. And there's hooliganism, a June 11th rundown, prisoner updates, reflections on the "global village," and Juggalos to boot!

Another May Day come and gone! After we catch up on how radicals around the world celebrated it in the streets this year, we'll turn back the clock a few decades to a particularly notorious May: Paris in 1968. The strikes and riots that nearly toppled the French state—as well as the Situationist International, those Marxist-influenced art radicals whose theories influenced the uprising—are the topic of our main feature for this episode. One of the key texts coming from the Situationist tradition, Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life, appears on the Chopping Block. Listeners weigh in on future episodes, "Uncle Ted," and the Ukraine episode and anarchist strategy. And of course there's more news, events, prisoner birthdays, and other goodies.
