The independence of the commodity (2)

Posted on March 12, 2018 by antyphayes

Beyond salvage: Andrea Gibbons on the Situationists

Posted on October 13, 2016 by antyphayes

In late 2015 Andrea Gibbons published an article entitled, Salvaging Situationism: Race and Space. If we leave aside for the moment her maladroit use of the term ‘situationism’, what we find is an argument charging the predominantly white, male membership … Continue reading →
