#thelivingsystem #guydebord #thesituationists we must return #fromfiction (at Paris, France)
A space caught between nature and culture: sights/sites of contestation: emerging from nature into culture and falling back to nature once again. Here time may be seen unravelling, as the layers of the city are peeled back to reveal the processes of change with which we temporary beings ourselves, interact. Fragments of the past surface briefly to disrupt the present, triggers to private reverie and public disruption before the flood of tarmac, steel and concrete, sends them back into the hidden.
Micheal Howard - MMU Art History Lecturer
THEORY OF THE DERIVE by Guy Ernest Debord
One of the basic situationist practices is the dérive [literally: “drifting”], a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances. Dérives involve playful-constructive behavior and awareness of psychogeographical effects, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll.
In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there. Chance is a less important factor in this activity than one might think: from a dérive point of view cities have psychogeographical contours, with constant currents, fixed points and vortexes that strongly discourage entry into or exit from certain zones.
“an urban neighborhood is determined not only by geographical and economic factors, but also by the image that its inhabitants and those of other neighborhoods have of it.”
Paris et l’agglomération parisienne (Bibliothèque de Sociologie Contemporaine, P.U.F., 1952) Chombart de Lauwe

Introducing - The Situationists
''The early SI was concerned with breaking out of everyday capitalist routines and roles and creating “situations” of a superior passional quality. They were interested in urban planning and architecture. They went on derives, or wanderings throughout the city, experiencing the urban environment in a new way, and recording their findings and experiences. They took to “[t]he study of the specific effects of the geographical environment (whether consciously organized or not) on the emotions and behavior of individuals,” which they termed “psychogeography.” They believed in the necessity of the realization and suppression of art, or the abolition of art as a separate sphere of life and the realization or integration of the passion and beauty of art into everyday life.''
