Posted on October 31, 2013 by antyphayes

[from Internationale Situationniste, no. 10, March 1966] We put forward several apparently risky assertions with the assurance of subsequently seeing an historical display of their undeniable seriousness. The more limited our remarks — for example when we analyse a detail … Continue reading →

The packaging of “free-time”

Posted on October 10, 2013 by antyphayes

[from Internationale Situationniste no. 10, March 1966] Through the art of advertising’s reuse of all the scraps of partial critical conclusions, our epoch will teach to those who are more accommodating that those who speak more or less [about] the … Continue reading →
