商品簡介
From 1957 to 1972 the artistic and political movement known as the SituationistInternational (SI) worked aggressively to subvert the conservative ideology of the Western world.The movement's broadside attack on "establishment" institutions and values left its mark upon thelibertarian left, the counterculture, the revolutionary events of 1968, and more recent phenomenafrom punk to postmodernism. But over time it tended to obscure Situationism's own foundingprinciples. In this book, Simon Sadler investigates the artistic, architectural, and culturaltheories that were once the foundations of Situationist thought, particularly as they applied to theform of the modern city.According to the Situationists, the benign professionalism of architectureand design had led to a sterilization of the world that threatened to wipe out any sense ofspontaneity or playfulness. The Situationists hankered after the "pioneer spirit" of the modernistperiod, when new ideas, such as those of Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche, still felt fresh and vital.Bythe late fifties, movements such as British and American Pop Art and French Nouveau Ralisme hadbecome intensely interested in everyday life, space, and mass culture. The SI aimed to convert thisinterest into a revolution--at the level of the city itself. Their principle for the reorganizationof cities was simple and seductive: let the citizens themselves decide what spaces and architecturethey want to live in and how they wish to live in them. This would instantly undermine the powers ofstate, bureaucracy, capital, and imperialism, thereby revolutionizing people's everyday lives.SimonSadler searches for the Situationist City among the detritus of tracts, manifestos, and works of artthat the SI left behind. The book is divided into three parts. The first, "The Naked City," outlinesthe Situationist critique of the urban environment as it then existed. The second, "Formulary for aNew Urbanism," examines Situationist principles for the city and for city living. The third, "A NewBabylon," describes actual designs proposed for a Situationist City.
