Its editor: Tom McDonough.Ĭentered around 1958, the year the first issue of Internationale Situationniste came out, this book certainly reveals a few glaring omissions from Knabb's collection: the complete text of Debord's 1957 "Report on the Construction of Situations," (Knabb only offered excerpts) Debord's "Theses on the Cultural Revolution" (1958) the unattributed "Critique of Urbanism" (1961) and Raoul Vaneigem's "Comments Against Urbanism" (1961). And so, in 2002, October expanded the collection and published it as a 500-page-long, illustrated tome entitled Guy Debord and the Situationist International: Texts and Documents. McDonough (see picture above) edited a special issue of October that focused upon "Guy Debord and the Internationale situationniste." This collection had an announced agenda: to provide a counter-weight to Ken Knabb's Situationist International Anthology (1981), which, as Knabb himself says, is "admittedly weighted somewhat toward the situationists' later, more 'political' period." But McDonough's special issue of October, though it focused on the situationists' earlier, more "artistic" period, wasn't really weighty enough to offer an effective counter-balance to Knabb's massive Anthology. ![]() ![]() McDonough and "October" on Guy Debord a double deflection: McDonough and "October" on Guy Debord, Again ![]()
