From Occupy Wall Street activists and corporate adbusters to online hackers and guerilla street artists, the influence of the Situationist International (SI) is written large across our
contemporary cultural landscape. Formed in 1957 as a merger of four European avantgarde groups with backgrounds in Marxism and Lettrism, the SI would over the next decade introduce many key
intellectual and artistic concepts to us. In 50 Years of Recuperation, critically acclaimed author McKenzie Wark explores how our contemporary understanding of art, politics, and even
reality itself has been shaped by these original culture jammers.
