The Most Radical Gesture: Situationist International in a Postmodern Age Review
This is a really good bit of secondary situ literature. Sadie Plant starts off with a magesterial summery of situationist thought. Her original contribution comes later. She compares their work with that of the post modernists and concludes that they held to clear distinctions between the real and the spectacular world...a division that their false heirs collapse. This is the main dialectic of the book. It is an interesting new persepctive from which to encounter Debord and Co. Whether or not this insight is revolutionary enough to justify some of these inflated prices is another matter! Commodity Fetishism!
