 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.

 Lettrist International
From this fundamental opposition -- which is definitely the conflict of a sufficiently new way of living one's life against an ancient tradition of alienating it -- there arise antagonisms of all sorts, which are provisionally smoothed out in view of general action that is amusing and that, despite its awkwardnesses and insufficiencies, is positive.
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 post-war movement Lettrist International, along with Asger Jorn and his International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus (IMIB), were precursors of the SI.

 Situationist - Unipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Situationist International (SI), an international political and artistic movement, originated in the Italian village of Cosio d'Arroscia on 28 July 1957 with the fusion of several extremely small artistic tendencies: the Lettrist International, the International movement for an imaginist Bauhaus, and the London Psychogeographical Association.
An ironic example of recuperation, it could be argued, was the 1989 Situationist exhibition staged in Paris, Boston, and at the ICA gallery in London's Mall, wherein both original situationist manifestos, and contemporary Pro-Situ influenced works (records, fanzines, samizdat-style leaflets and propaganda) were presented as museum artifacts for the mass consumption of the art establishment.
This event of course contrasts sharply to the occasion when the Situationist International gave a presentation at the ICA themselves, which famously ended when an audience member asked the group "what is situationism?" to which one of them answered "we are not here to answer stupid questions" before marching off to the bar.

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.

 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 hacienda must be built.’ In this new city ‘every man will live in his own cathedral’ and ‘the principle activity of the inhabitants will be the continuous dérive’ through zones designed to alter the inhabitants’ moods and perceptions.
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.

Meanwhile, law-related courses -- like constitutional and international law, legal and constitutional history, and the philosophy of law -- have long been found among the offerings of social-science and humanities departments, yet they tend to focus on only certain aspects of law.
For example, while legal study enriches the study of politics, much of what constitutes law cannot be brought within the confines of a discipline devoted to political matters.
Colleges and universities should hire faculty members who think of themselves primarily as legal scholars and develop autonomous programs, departments, and research centers where a new conception of legal scholarship can be developed, a conception that moves away from professional issues and disciplinary perspectives toward a new synthesis.

 Pynchon
All of Pynchon's fiction is elaborate and tricky, full of plot and counterplot and sudden changes of perspective, and each new long-gestating arrival seems like the key, the "secret text" his readers, no less than his characters, are always looking for.
In an apparent nod to the Lettrist International -- the band of avant-garde rebels in 1950s France who deemed all cities "imaginary" and who drew up their own "psychogeographic" maps of Paris -- Pynchon toys with "parageography": "alternative maps of the World," as one character puts it, "superimpos'd upon the more familiar ones."

Together with the replicants, who are trapped in place (within ‘myth’) and thus could not attend the Congress, we visualised a New Revolutionary World, where places are all multi-textual, where the myths we make of our selves are permanent and non-autonomous zones of realisation, not visualised, within ‘the view’ or within grammar.

For all of Marcus' love of the "taste of negation," he completely disregards the notion that negation is a logical operation whereby a new proposition is inferred from a given proposition.
This total logic and conception of the totality of history exemplify the degree to which Debord's logic was wedded to his historicity, only released from it's concrete forms and presented in the paragraph in question in a generalized, theoretical way.

After the dissolution of the Situationist International, Debord was tangentially implicated in the assassination of his friend and publisher Gérard Lebovici.
Debord continued writing, and in 1989 he published his Commentaries on the Society of the Spectacle, arguing that everything he wrote in 1967 was still true, with one major exeception: the society of the spectacle had reached a new form, that of the integrated spectacle.

While the entire history of the Situationists was marked by their impetus to revolutionize life, the split between the French and the German sections marked a transition from the Situationist view of revolution possibly taking an "artistic" form to it taking an unambiguously "political" form.
This event of course contrasts sharply to the occasion when the Situationist International gave a presentation at the ICA themselves, which famously ended when an audience member asked the group "what is situationism?" to which one of them answered "we are not here to answer cuntish questions" before marching off to the bar.
Zizek argues that the kind of distance opened up by detournement is the condition of possibility for ideology to operate: by attacking and distancing oneself from the sign-systems of capital, the subject creates a fantasy of transgression that "covers up" his/her actual complicity with capitalism as an overarching system.
