Against Situationism | varnelis.net

see discussion in the footnotes. apparently some of my personally current reading is coming out of a larger societal contestation with situationism in particular? (and this probably embedded in an even larger project of intense reading and re-reading of political thought & history that's going on now?) also, would seem like the arguments here get stuck in another case of being-essence versus instrumental use/symbolic deployment. seems like it is necessary to see what parts of situationism got us here and how and why, in a more complete way . . .
