	Lettrism
		The Lettrist worked on the level of the letter at the heart of what they believed to be an experiential language that was to be the basis of their new culture.
		Much of the bulk of Lettrist activities moved toward visual manifestations of expression in the later years, with a great deal of activity in painting and film [2].
		The SI (and it's earlier manifestation as the Lettrist International (LI)) proposed a number of social critiques or 'situations' by which a new socio-political organization of world culture based around the ever-changing principles of contemporary art would take the place of the materialistic, worn-out economies of the past.

	Lettrist International
		The Lettrist International (LI) was the first breakaway group from Isidore Isou[?]'s Lettrist Movement (LM[?]}.
		On 28th July 1957 they fused with the the International Movement For An Imaginist Bauhaus and the London Psychogeographical Association to form the Situationist International.
		The New Lettrist International[?] was founded more recently.

	Letterist International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Letterist International (LI) was a Paris-based collective of radical artists and theorists between 1952 and 1957, who provide the link between Isidore Isou's Letterist group and the Situationist International.
		The New Lettrist International was founded more recently and is independent of (though inspired by) the earlier group.
		The LI published four issues of the Internationale Lettriste bulletin between 1952 and 1954, followed by twenty eight issues of Potlatch from 1954 to 1957.

		The ebbing of the international revolutionary movement, which became apparent within a few years after 1920 and increasingly obvious until around 1950, was followed, with a time-lag of five or six years, by an ebbing of the movements that had tried to promote liberatory innovations in culture and everyday life.
		In 1952 the Lettrist left wing organized itself into a "Lettrist International" and expelled the backward fraction.(2) In the Lettrist International the quest for new methods of intervention in everyday life was pursued amidst sharp struggles among different tendencies.
		Lettrist International participants included MichÃ¨le Bernstein, Ivan Chtcheglov, Mohamed Dahou, Guy Debord, Abdelhafid Khatib, Alexander Trocchi and Gil Wolman, most of whom were later SI members.

	Guy Debord - Situationist, Lettrist, Philosopher - Biography
		In 1950 Debord began his association with the Lettrist International, which was being led by Isidore Isou at the time.
		The Lettrists were attempting to fuse poetry and music, and were interested in transforming the urban landscape.
		Debord proclaimed himself the leader of the SI, and saw himself responsible for maintaining the high ideals he had in mind for the group, but to equate Debord with the SI in all its activities would be misleading.

	The Situationist International Text Library/Why Lettrism?
		Onomatopoeic poetry itself, having appeared with Futurism and much later reaching a certain perfection with Schwitters and some others, no longer was of interest as the absolute systemization that was presented as the only poetry of the moment, and so condemning all the other forms to death and giving itself a short shelf-life.
		The aesthetic Lettrists, now in the minority, were not in solidarity with this action -- leading to a break that their lame excuses did not succeed in postponing or subsequently healing -- because, according to them, the creative role carried out by Chaplin in the cinema placed him beyond criticism.
		Without a doubt, the term "Lettrist" is a difficult description for people who have no particular esteem for this kind of sound effect, and, except on the soundtrack of a few films, have not made use of it.

	The Hacienda must be destroyed
		Psychogeography - the study of the emotional effects of particular locations - was a major concern of the Lettrist International (founded in 1952) and of the Situationist International in its early years.
		The drift would enable the Lettrists to read the city, to map out its various emotional zones and currents; indeed, the practice of the drift altered during the life of the LI, with later drifts being undertaken in a fairly purposeful spirit of exploration.
		The Lettrists (Debord among them) considered the project of the SI in terms of introducing the radical artistic avant-garde of the IMIB to the perspectives of the LI: the "construction of situations" in practice would be the latest - and final - form of avant-garde art.

	The Situationist International Text Library/Drifitng with The Situationist International
		The Situationist International (SI) was formed at a 1957 conference in Italy.
		Delegates from few leading avant-garde groups including the Lettrist International and the Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus-- the cultural movements that had the greatest impact on the Situationists-- assembled to discuss the crisis in modern culture and life.
		The underlying assumption of this discussion is that space is not neutral terrain that we simply inhabit or stroll through, rather it is, for better or worse, the lived sphere of influence.

		The post-war movement Lettrist International, along with Asger Jorn and his International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus (IMIB), were precursors of the SI.
		In it, he dreams of a city where 'the principle activity of the inhabitants will be the continuous 'derive'.(French: derivation) The concept of 'unitary urbanism' formed by the SI describes their experiments with attaining Chtcheglov’s new city; one that allow its inhabitants to fulfill their desires.
		In fact their last SI act was rather telling; they wrote 'The Veritable Split In The International,' a book on the history of the SI and a narrative of its failings and victories.

	Situationist International \| libcom.org
		The SI was an international group of revolutionary socialists, founded in France by former members of the Lettrist International.
		The Situationists fused Marxism with an analysis of the power of modern culture and the emptiness of everyday life under capitalism, and played an important role in the France 1968 uprising.
		Though usually credited to Clark, Gray, Nicholson-Smith and Radcliffe who at the time comprised the English section of the Situationist International (later excluded by the SI in Dec 67), it was apparently a wider collective work of those around the King Mob scene of the time.

	Slought Foundation, Philadelphia: Contemporary Art and Theory
		The Situationist International (SI), an international political and artistic movement, emerged in the late 1950s from the confluence of several tendencies which radically redefined the role of art in the twentieth century: the Lettrist International, the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus, and the London Psychogeographical Association.
		The artist, cultural theorist and activist Guy Debord was the leading member of the Situationist International and author of the group’s most influential text, The Society of the Spectacle (1967).
		The development of Debord’s cinematic anti-aesthetic —from its Lettrist beginnings to its post-SI nostalgia—is a useful barometer of the shifting status and tactical understanding of the aesthetic in the history of the SI.

	Barbelith: Head Shop: Situationism in a nutshell
		The Situationist International (SI) was formed in 1957 by a merger of Guy Debord’s Lettrist International and Asger Jorn’s International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus (IMIB), two post-war continental art groups.
		The events of May 1968 for the SI started at Strasbourg university in 1966 when the student union approached the SI to write a critique of student life, which was published using the union’s funds and was even given away at the university’s official opening at the beginning of the academic year.
		Their last act as the SI was to produce the book ‘The Veritable Split In The International,’ a history of the SI and a critique of it’s failings and successes.

		The post-war Lettrist International, which sought to fuse poetry and music and transform the urban landscape, was a direct forerunner of the group who founded the magazine _Situationiste Internationale_ in 1957.
		At first, they were principally concerned with the "suppression of art", that is to say, they wished like the Dadaists and the Surrealists before them to supersede the categorization of art and culture as separate activities and to transform them into part of everyday life.
		Members of the Situationist International (SI) co-operated with the _enrages_ from Nanterre University in the Occupations COmmittee of the Sorbonne, an assembly held in permanent session.

		Self-proclaimed leader of the Situationist International, Guy Debord was responsible for the longevity and high profile of Situationist ideas, although the equation of the SI with Guy Debord would be misleading.
		Potlatch, the "information bulletin of the French Section of the Lettrist International" (created 27 issues, from 22 June 1954 to 5 November 1957), was published by Debord and associates prior to the founding of the Situationist International.
		After the dissolution of the Situationist International, Debord was tangentially implicated in the assassination of his friend and publisher Gérard Lebovici.

	The Realization and Suppression of Situationism--Bob Black
		The Situationist International (1957-1972) was an international but Paris-based formation which recreated the avant garde tradition on a high plane of intelligence and intransigence.
		Best known today for its ultra-left politics, the SI was founded by artists who merged two tiny organizations, the Lettrist International (starring filmmaker Guy Debord and his wife Michele Bernstein, a collage artist) and the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus (including painters Asger Jorn and Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio).
		After resigning from the Situationist International in 1964, Trocchi went on to become a grey eminence of Scottish letters, and died in 1984 after 27 years as a junkie.

		When Lettrists also began making avant-guard films, they attracted the efforts of Guy Debord and Gil Wolman, both then in their early-20s.
		In 1957, after years of discussions between the "left lettrists" and avant-guard artists in various countries, the founding of a "Situationist International" drew in participants from the Lettrist International; the Movement for Imaginist Bauhaus; and the former-surrealists of COBRA (Copenhagen-Brussels-Amsterdam), led by the Danish painter, Asger Jorn.
		Debord argued in 1961 that because the academic specialists had abandoned the "critical truth" of their disciplines to preserve their function, "all real researches" were "converging toward a totality, just as real people are going to come together in order to try once again to escape from their prehistory".
