'Internationale Situationniste, "No 9 August 1964 *
What does the word "situationist"?
defines an which means "to do" situations, not "recognize" as explanatory or otherwise. This at all levels of social practice, the individual history. We replace the existential construction liabilities of the moments of life, to doubt the assertion fun. Until now, philosophers and artists have done nothing but interpret situations, we must now turn. Since man is the product of situations through, it is important to the human situation. Since the individual is defined by its situation, wants the power to create situations worthy of his desire. In this perspective must merge and realize the poetry (as the realization of a communication language situation), the appropriation of nature, the full social liberation. Our time will replace the fixed border of extreme situations, that the phenomenology has been pleased to describe, with the creation of practical situations, this boundary will move permanently to the movement in the history of our creation. We want a phenomenological practice. We have no doubt at all that this will be the primary banality of the liberation movement of our time as possible. What is put in the situation? At different levels, it may be this planet, or the time (in the sense of a civilization Burckhardt, for example), or a moment of individual life. Get the party started! The values \u200b\u200bof the past culture, hopes to realize the reason in history, they have no other possible hereafter. Everything else is decomposed. The term situationist nell'accezione the Situationist International, is exactly the opposite of what is currently in Portuguese is called "situation", ie a defender of the existing situation, in that case of Salazar.
The Situationist International is a political movement?
The words "political movement" today define the specialized activities of the leaders of groups and parties, which draw from the passivity of their organized militant force of oppressive their future power. The Situationist International does not want to have nothing in common with the hierarchical power, in whatever form is raised. The Situationist International movement then is neither a politician nor a political sociology of mystification. The Situationist International aims to be the highest degree of revolutionary consciousness internationally. This is why attempts to clarify and coordinate the actions of rejection and signs of creativity that define the new contours of the proletariat, the indomitable will of emancipation. Hinged on the spontaneity of the masses, such activity is undeniably political, unless it be denied that status to the agitators themselves. In extent of the radical new trends appearing in Japan (the extremist wing of the movement Zengakuren), Congo, underground English, the Situationist International provides support to their "critical", and therefore endeavors to help them practically. But against all the "transitional program" policy specialist, the Situationist International relates to a permanent revolution of everyday life.
The Situationist International is an art movement?
A large part of the situationist critique dedicated to the consumer society is to show to what extent the contemporary artists, abandoning the richness of tolerance contained, if not exploited, in the period 1910-1925, the majority are condemned to make art as they do business. The artistic movements since then have not imagined that the effects of an explosion that never took place, which threatened and still threatens the structures of society. The awareness of such abandonment and its implications contradictory (the vacuum and the desire to return to the initial violence) is the only of the Situationist International movement that can, incorporating the survival of art in the art of living, responding to the project of 'real artist. We are artists not only because we are artists: we are building art.
The Situationist International is a manifestation of nihilism?
The Situationist International refused the role that everyone is ready to offer it, in the spectacle of decomposition. This goes beyond the nihilism for the decomposition of the show and that's why the Situationist International intends to strongly work. Everything is designed and built outside of such a prospect does not need to collapse of the Situationist International itself, but it is also true that wherever in the consumer society, the wastelands of the collapse spontaneously offer new values un campo di sperimentazione di cui l'Internazionale Situazionista non può non tener conto. Non possiamo costruire che sulle rovine dello spettacolo. D'altronde, la previsione, perfettamente fondata, di una distruzione totale obbliga a non costruire mai se non alla luce della totalità.
Le posizioni situazioniste sono utopiche?
La realtà supera l'utopia. Tra la ricchezza delle possibilità tecniche attuali e la povertà del loro uso da parte dei dirigenti di ogni tipo, non c'è più da lanciare un ponte immaginario. Noi vogliamo mettere l'attrezzatura materiale a disposizione della creatività di tutti, come wherever the masses are trying to do at the time of the revolution. It is a coordination problem, or tactics, as you will. Everything we deal is feasible, either immediately or at short notice, from the moment you begin to implement our methods of research activity.
judge must call it, "Situation"?
ordering exists, in which it takes the place of man, each label is compromising. However what we have chosen carries its own criticism, even brief, because that is opposed to the "Situationist" that others choose for us. On the other hand each of us will disappear when whole situation, and no more proletarian struggle to end the proletariat. In the immediate future, no matter how ridiculous is the label, has the merit of marking a break between the old inconsistency and a new requirement. What I missed most was the intelligence of a few tens of years was precisely this break.
What is the originality of the situations defined as a group?
It seems remarkable that three points justify the importance that we attach as an organized group of theorists and experimenters. First place, we do, for the first time, a new critical, consistent, the company that develops "at present", a revolutionary point of view, this criticism is deeply rooted in culture and art of this time, it holds keys (of course this work is quite far from being completed). Second, we practice the complete and final break with all those who force us to do so, and a break to "chain". This is valuable in a time when the various forms of resignation are subtly intertwined and supportive. Thirdly, we are inaugurating a new style of dealing with our "supporters" absolutely reject the disciples. We are interested only participation at the highest level, and to launch autonomous people in the world.
Why no mention of the Situationist International?
He speaks often enough, one of the owners specialize in liquefaction of modern thought, but he writes very little. In the broadest sense, it is because we reject the term "situation", which would be the only kind capable of reigning in the show introduces us, integrating the form of fossilized doctrine against ourselves, in the form of ideology in the sense of Marx. It is normal for the show that we reject, we waste. We talk more willingly dei situazionisti in quanto individui, per tentare di separarli dalla contestazione d'insieme, senza la quale, d'altra parte, non sarebbero neppure degli individui "interessanti". Si parla dei situazionisti "da quando smettono di esserlo" (le varietà rivali di "nashismo", in diversi paesi, hanno questa sola celebrità in comune, di rivendicare bugiardamente una qualsiasi relazione con l'Internazionale Situazionista). I cani da guardia dello spettacolo riprendono, senza dirlo, dei frammenti di teoria situazionista, per rivolgerla contro di noi. Se ne ispirano, com'è normale, nella loro lotta per la sopravvivenza dello spettacolo. È loro necessario quindi celare la fonte, vale a dire la coerenza di simili "idee". Non è only for the vanity of plagiarists. In addition, many intellectuals do not dare speak openly hesitant because of the Situationist talk implies a minimum position, to say clearly what it refuses, compared to what it takes. Many people believe, quite wrongly, that they feign ignorance while the latest release from their responsibilities.
What support given to the revolutionary movement?
Unfortunately there is none. The company, of course, contains contradictions and changes. What makes that in a world that is always new, possible and necessary revolutionary activity which currently does not exist anymore, or not yet, in the form of an organized movement. It is not to "support" for such a movement, but to do this: to define and, inseparably, to try it. To say that there is no revolutionary movement is the first act, which is essential for the benefit of such a movement. Everything else is ridiculous repainting of the past.
You are Marxists?
much as Marx when he said: "I am not a Marxist."
There is a relationship between your theory and your way of life?
Our theories are nothing if not the theory of our real life and you experienced or saw in it. As fragmented fields of activity are available, until further order, they do not behave better. We treat the enemy as an enemy, and is a first step we recommend to all as accelerated learning of thought. On the other hand, it goes without saying that we support unconditionally all forms of freedom of the costumes, all that bourgeois or bureaucratic called rogue debauchery. It is clearly possible that we prepare the revolution of everyday life with asceticism.
The Situationists are company at the forefront of entertainment?
The company's entertainment is an appearance that covers a certain type of production and consumption of space and social time. If the productive work time itself is reduced, the reserve army of industrial life will work in consumption. All are workers and subsequently starting material in the holidays, leisure, entertainment. The existing work is the alpha and omega of life exists. The organization of consumption over the organization of entertainment has to balance exactly the organization of work. The "leisure" is an ironic measure of the time during a prefab. Rigorosamente, "questo" lavoro non potrà dare che "questo" divertimento, sia per l'élite oziosa - di fatto, sempre più semi-oziosa - sia per le masse che accedono ai divertimenti momentanei. Nessuna barriera di piombo può isolare né un pezzo del tempo, né il tempo completo di un pezzo di società, dalla radioattività diffusa dal lavoro alienato; se non altro perché esso forgia la totalità dei prodotti e della vita sociale, "così" e non altrimenti.
Chi vi finanzia?
Siamo sempre stati finanziati, in maniera estremamente precaria, soltanto dal nostro proprio lavoro nell'economia cultural era. This use is subject to this contradiction: we have such creative skills that we can "succeed" in all, nearly without fail, so we have a strict requirement of independence and perfect consistency between our project and present each of our works (...) that are almost totally unacceptable to the organization's dominant culture, even in very minor issues. The state of our resources is descended from this component. In this regard, see what we have written our review of the number 8 on the "capital to companies that there will never nashiste" and, instead, on our terms.
How are you?
A little 'less of the initial core of the guerrilla in the Sierra Maestra, but with fewer weapons. A little 'less of the delegates who were in London in 1864 to found the International Workingmen's Association, but with a more coherent program. Equally determined the Greeks at Thermopylae ("Passer-by, go tell Lacedaemon ..."), but with a more bell'avvenire.
What value can be attributed to a questionnaire?
this? This is clearly a form of fictional dialogue, which now becomes obsessive with all psychic methods of integration the show (the liabilities assumed under a joyously crass travesty of "participation" by activities in disguise). But we can argue, from a search incoherent, reified, the exact positions. In fact, these positions are not "respond" because it does not refer to the questions: the questions refer. These are the answers that would "transform the questions." So true dialogue could begin after those answers. In this questionnaire, all questions are "false", and yet our answers are true.
