fwiw, the SI was uncompromisimgly opposed to the term and concept "situationism," the use of which they felt indicated a programmatic frame and an utter misunderstanding of "situations" and of radical action within them.
ReplyDeleteIMO Camatte should be in there somewhere, particularly On Organization, The Wandering of Humanity and Against Domestication. Maybe some early Castoriadis too.
