Piovarchy, Adam James. "Situationism and Moral Responsibility." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2019. https://hdl.handle.net/2123/21787.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines whether it is appropriate to blame the subjects who act wrongly in the situationist psychology experiments for their actions, focusing on the subjects in Milgram’s ‘Obedience to Authority’ studies. Both philosophers and psychologists currently lack any convincing explanation for why subjects in these experiments behave as they do. However, one promising avenue which has not been considered is to examine subjects’ perceived reasons for action. If subjects act differently to how we expect because they do not share our assessments of their reasons for action, this would explain their behaviour. The first part of this thesis argues that, given a number of sources of evidence from the situationist experiments, and other related experiments which philosophers have not considered, the best explanation of subjects’ wrongdoing is they had a reduced capacity to avoid wrongdoing. This entails that they are excused for their wrongdoing, and thus not blameworthy. The second part of this thesis sees what follows if the subjects in these experiments did possess the capacity to avoid wrongdoing, but simply didn’t exercise it. Given the high rates of wrongdoing in these studies, and consistent replication of results with subjects from number of social groups, we have strong evidence that most members of the moral community would also have committed wrongdoing in these experiments. Due to the relationship between standing to blame and hypocrisy, the fact most of us would have committed wrongdoing in these experiments undermines our standing to blame. In particular, we lack the normative authority to make second-personal demands when blaming.

Full textAbstract:
Der vorliegenden Studie Die dialektische Lebenskunst von Guy Debord, Verworfener & Kulturschatz liegt eine interdisziplinäre Untersuchung des Gesamtwerks jenes französischen Radikalen zugrunde. Debords kohärentes Bestreben hatte darin bestanden, zu einer Leidenschaft der Existenz zurückzufinden, wie sie als Grundlage zur Umwälzung des verarmten Alltagslebens dienen sollte. Zugleich Ehre und Pläsier war es ihm dabei, der „Gesellschaft des Spektakels“ - 1967 in einem strategisch eingesetzten ‚Theoriebuch‘ in Form von Zweckentfremdungen analysiert - zu schaden, wo er nur konnte. Kategorisierungsversuche seiner Tätigkeiten und Umtriebe ‚unterlief‘ der Wahlpariser regelmäßig. Lediglich den Einordnungen als Filmemacher und Enragé stimmte er zu. Interpretationsschwerpunkte liegen auf der Begutachtung von Bildmanifesten und Selbstporträts, wozu seine sieben Filme zählen. Im Rahmen eines an Gerald Raunig und Bazon Brock angelehnten Theoriedesigns, wird sein provokantes Vorgehen in neun Kapiteln (I – IX) als Gesamtkunst-Experiment und Lebenskunstwerk beschrieben. Fundamental ist hierbei das Diktum Brocks, dass ein Totalkunstwerk ein Postulat seiner eigenen Verwirklichung darstellt. Die Gliederung des Stoffes folgt dem romanhaften Werdegang eines Initiators zweier Avantgardeformationen sowie dem Vollzug einer ‚Überwindung‘ der Kunst in deren Reihen. Das Gravitätszentrum aller Aktivitäten und ein Scharnier der Abhandlung ist die klandestine Rolle, welche die Situationistische Internationale bei der Verwirklichung der Mai-Revolte 1968 in Frankreich spielte.In its character the study Guy Debords Art of Living, Accursed Poet & Cultural Treasury is an interdisciplinary examination of this French radical’s strange and obscure ways. His coherent achievement may be judged as an approach to regain a lost passion of existence in order to revolutionize everyday life. Debord found pleasure and pride in his lifelong ambition to demolish the so-called “Socitey of the Spectacle”, which he analyzed in his infamous book by the same title, first published in 1967. Often quoted since, rarely described as the invention and event it was. Debord defended himself againt categorization. But he agreed on being titulated a filmmaker and enraged person in the tradition of a perverted French Revolution. Following a theory-design, paying references to Gerald Raunig and Bazon Brock, his provocative approach is discussed in nine chapters (I-IX). Baring in mind that – according to Brock – a total work is a postulate of its own realization. The script follows the novel-like progress of a co-founder and lustful destroyer of two avantgarde-troups. All of the group activities are gravitating around what happened in Paris at the heyday of May 68.

Murrieta, Flores David Alejandro Jerzy. "Situationist margins : The Situationist Times, King Mob, Black Mask, and S.NOB magazines." Thesis, University of Essex, 2017. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/20919/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis parts from the premise that avant-garde art collectives produce discourses meant to articulate the opposition to the art/life divide as one that interrelates fields such as aesthetics, politics, philosophy, and even economics. By utilizing a comparative framework, it plays on the complementarity and differences between four 1960s groups that formed very specific organizations directed at challenging society, in one way or another related to the Situationist International: The Situationist Times (France), King Mob Echo (UK), Black Mask and its transformations (US), and S.NOB (Mexico). Through the medium of magazines, they intended to reach a mass audience that in the act of reading and looking at their images and texts would be prompted to discern organizations that undermined the world-system. Thus, the Situationist Times attempted to form a (people’s) movement that in an applied creativity that rejected the metanarrative of progress would be able to realize the malleability of history. King Mob followed a conspiratorial logic with the idea of a dis-organized mass suddenly acting in concert against states. Black Mask and its transformations played with the idea of a war for territory, the occupation of a ‘free zone’ by a community in the midst of a dominated world. Finally, S.NOB’s idiosyncratic anarchism came from an opposition to the totalizing discursive practices of the Mexican Revolution, giving primacy to fragmentation and an anti-organizational bent; while it had no direct relationship to any of the above groups, it shows how their techniques and theories develop out of an engagement with Surrealism and past avant-gardes. S.NOB provides not a counterpoint but a contextual revelation of the limits of these collectives, in the Bataillean sense that opens all of them up to a ‘contamination’ with historicity and thought that treats all of them as equal in scope and importance.

Corcos, Alex. "Guy Debord's Situationism : theory, politics, ethics, protest." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2016. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/88598/.
Full textAbstract:
Guy Debord (1931-1994) was the director of the International situationniste journal and de facto leader of the group of artists, writers, filmmakers and political agitators who went by the same name. This thesis will consider his many articles, signed and unsigned, that he contributed to the journal alongside his films and the theoretical work for which he is best known, La Société du spectacle (1967) in order to analyse and critique his written, filmic and organisational contribution to the group. The notion of ‘Situationism’, one Debord and the Situationists disdained, will be examined in the course of an assessment of the Situationists’ enduring relevance to contemporary debates in thought and politics as well as to the theory and practice of protest. In resistance to attempts to cast the Situationists as Romantic idealists who founded their critique of society upon a notion of unalienated human nature in need of freeing from the fetters of a capitalistic spectacle, it will be argued that the Situationists presented a radical rejection of such notions in elaborating their own conception of the capacities for egalitarian political subjectivation. The first chapter deals with the formative influence of Marx and Marxism on Debord’s La Société du spectacle and Situationist theory more generally. The second chapter examines the Situationist concept of détournement, the diversion or hijacking of pre-existing cultural elements in new works, with particular reference to Debord’s films. A third chapter presents a particular conception of ethics which emerges from both the writings and the organisational practice of the Situationist International before a final chapter assessing the Situationists’ pertinence to twenty-first century emancipatory politics.

Lee, Brandon C. "The case for character| A reply to situationism." Thesis, State University of New York at Albany, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3607160.
Full textAbstract:
The notion of character is a familiar and prominent part of ethical theorizing, and of our everyday discourse. Character is used to explain how people act, to predict what they will do, to judge whether they ought to be trusted, and utilized in a multitude of other ways. A camp of philosophers dubbed the "Situationists", however, argue that research in social psychology shows the notion of character as we traditionally understand it is empirically unsupported, and consequently that all our discourse and ethical thought involving character is gravely mistaken. Instead, these philosophers contend that what influences and informs our perception and actions is largely traceable to the situations we find ourselves in. This dissertation will aim to defend the plausibility of character against this challenge by the Situationists. To do so, it begins by examining the traditional notion of character that is prevalent in ethical theorizing - derived in large part from Aristotle's view of character - and the empirical evidence that Situationists claim undercut the plausibility of that notion. Thereafter, a reply to the Situationists will be offered, arguing that there is persuasive evidence that speaks in favor of character, and moreover, that a character-based explanation of the evidence is more convincing than the account that Situationists propose. The goal of the project is to show that the traditional notion of character is more tenable than Situationists have claimed, and that we are not gravely mistaken by including it in our ethical thought and everyday discourse. In fact, rather than eschewing the notion of character, the dissertation aims to establish that we have strong reasons to continue building the case for it.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of outdoor education, in the deliberative tradition of curriculum inquiry. It examines the intentional generation and distribution of knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes through organised outdoor activities, both as a research interest, and as a critical perspective on outdoor education discourse.
Eight separate but interrelated research projects, originally published in 11 refereed journal articles, develop and defend the thesis statement:
The problem of determining what, if any, forms of outdoor experience should be educational priorities, and how those experiences should be distributed in communities and geographically that is who goes where and does what is inherently situational. The persistence of a universalist outdoor education discourse that fails to acknowledge or adequately account for social and geographic circumstances points to serious flaws in outdoor education research and theory, and impedes the development of more defensible outdoor education practices.
The introduction explains how the eight projects cohere, and illustrates how they may be linked using the example of militaristic thinking in outdoor safety standards. Chapters 1 and 2 defend and elaborate a situationist approach to outdoor education, using the examples of outdoor education in Victoria (Australia), and universalist approaches to outdoor education in textbooks respectively.
Chapters 3 and 4 expand on some epistemological implications of the thesis and examine, respectively, the cultural dimensions of outdoor experience, and the epistemology and ontology of local natural history. Chapters 5 and 6 apply a situationist epistemology to personal development based outdoor education. Traditions of outdoor education that draw on person-centred rather than situation-sensitive theories of behaviour are examined and critiqued. Alternatives to person-centred theories of outdoor education are discussed. Chapters 7 and 8 use situationist outdoor education to provide a critical reading of nature-based tourism. Chapters 9, 10, and 11 return to the theme of safety in the introduction and Chapter 1, and examine the safety implications of a situationist epistemology.
Closing comments briefly draw together the conclusions of all of the chapters, and offer some directions for future outdoor education research.

The project is a mixed-use building based on three main Situationist themes:
1. The creations of situations - creating a foundation for the spontaneous interaction between users of a building and people randomly passing by.
2. The Labyrinth - a playful structure that is not necessarily rational and leaves scope for new discoveries that are not evident when you enter the building.
3. Unitary Urbanism - avoiding the sharp distinctions between workplace, residential housing and leisure, the building aims to integrate all aspects of human endeavor. The building should reflect all aspects of the city, hence being a condensed image of the city. The building contains shops, cafes, restaurants, apartments and movie theatres. The building is open and invites the users to explore.Master of Architecture

Cooper, Samuel Martin. "'A lot to answer for' : the English legacy of the Situationist International." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2012. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/39381/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis draws attention to the overlooked period of English avant-garde activity that arose in response to the Situationist International (SI, 1957-1972). I attempt to consolidate the continued literary, political and artistic relevance of the disparate manifestations of English Situationist practices, while reflecting more broadly on the Anglicisation of Continental avant-garde traditions. The thesis contributes also to the ongoing re-evaluation of the SI through its peripheral and international permutations. The thesis presents an historical narrative in four stages. The first follows the formation of the Surrealist Group in England and its transformation into Mass- Observation. This activity in the Thirties is both prolepsis to and prehistory of the English Situationist tradition, which begins at the thesis's second stage, in the early Sixties, with the novelist and cultural organiser Alexander Trocchi, one of the first British members of the SI. The third stage introduces the short-lived English Section of the SI and its immediate precursor and successor groups of the late Sixties, all of whom undertook a cultural translation of the SI's project. The thesis's final stage identifies contemporary manifestations of what I argue is an English Situationist poetics, which exists independently of self-identifying avant-garde groups. Interwoven through my historical narrative are investigations of three recurring problems: the problem of ‘Englishness', and its perceived incompatibility with Continental avant-gardism; the problem of influence, whereby neo-avantgardism is dismissed as the hollow repetition of early twentieth century formations; and the Situationist problem of the radical aesthetic object's subsumption to a commodity economy. I offer readings of novels, films and visual materials; of tracts, manifestos and journal debates; and of theorists (especially Rancière) whose perspectives on history and political aesthetics are productively dissonant with those of the SI. Anglicised Situationist practices, I propose, are valuable precisely for their contestation of and movement through Situationist theory.

Sanders, Maria Ann. "ARISTOTELIAN-INSPIRED MODEL FOR CURTAILING ACADEMIC DISHONESTY IN THE UNITED STATES." OpenSIUC, 2012. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/498.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the growing epidemic of academic dishonesty in the United States in order to propose an Aristotelian-inspired model for developing moral character to curtail this epidemic. The task is laid out in four parts. Chapter one responds to the problem of akrasia, adopting a modified version of Devin Henry's distinction between drunken akrasia and genuine akrasia, holding that the akratic individual experiences an internal struggle similar to that of the self-controlled individual, but the improper desire is stronger than the desire for the proper pleasure. Chapter two responds to the challenges to virtue ethics set forth by social situationists, John Doris (2002) and Gilbert Harman (2000) with a model consistent with Rachana Kamtekar's (2004) depiction of character in Aristotelian virtue ethics that adopts a holistic view of character incorporating motivation and proper intellect as necessary elements in practical reason. Chapter three provides a summary of empirical research into the prevalence of academic dishonesty and the internal and external factors influencing academic dishonesty. This assemblage of data suggests that an effective sustainable solution for curbing academic dishonesty must focus upon the development of internal character rather than the mere modification of external or situational factors. Chapter four applies the findings of the existing data to the development of core principles for a proper moral education intended to offer a foundation for possible solutions towards reducing academic dishonesty in the United States. In light of the current research into academic dishonesty, chapter four outlines core principles essential for developing practical solutions inspired by Aristotle's character-based virtue ethics while recognizing the short-term benefits of situation modification.

Goaman, Karen Elizabeth. "The Old World is behind you : the Situationists and beyond in contemporary anarchist currents." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2002. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317865/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on a sphere of contemporary anarchism in which the ideas of the Situationists have found influence. It foregrounds the oppositional impulse underpinning the lived worlds of these milieux, and the symbolic representations used in their aims, ideals and responses to the realities they confront. One of the key sources of primary evidence will therefore be independently published texts. Writing and publishing are important interventions in the activities which constitute the broader anarchist movement, forming an essential background to the post-Situationist interventions, mainly periodicals, which are the main focus of the thesis. The Situationists, a group of radicals active, in the 1950s and 1960s, who developed a critique of everyday life, of commodity culture and of hierarchy and power, form the central theme connecting the range of interventions explored. The discussion includes a consideration of May 68, in which the Situationists participated, and the wall writing of May 68, which reflects the Situationist influence and which expresses an alternative reality and reclaimed public space. The Situationists, and May 68, form the focus of two other themes. Firstly, the past as a repository of ideas, transmitting the means of an oppositional impulse over time. Secondly, the way in which a sense of community is constituted not just synchronically but diachronically. Another key argument is that the 'oppositional impulse' arises not only through rational, intellectual and cognitive thought, but also on an emotional level - as a response to and reaction against the system. Situationist texts are analysed for their power, through lyrical poetic writing, in evoking a critical response to everyday life. The thesis selects post-Situationist periodicals and interventions, 1980s-1990s, and explores their histories, those involved in their production, the use of the past as a repository of ideas, inspirations and influences, and the debates that emerge through such interventions. The thesis aims to evoke and convey, with richness and texture, the ideas and critical perspectives of the milieux and interventions explored. It aims, through an explication of Situationist and post-Situationist anarchistic ideas, combined with ethnographic descriptions derived through 'observant participation', to capture something of the ethos of the lived worlds of the spheres discussed It is argued that these elements tend to be overlooked in 'new social movement' (NSM) accounts of oppositional currents. A range of anthropological literature is also evaluated to clarify the perspectives informing this thesis, which aims for an egalitarian research method.

Full textAbstract:
Hur tillskriver vi moraliskt ansvar, och varför? Inom filosofin debatteras häftigt huruvida vi har fri vilja eller ej, och således ifrågasätts om vi kan tillskrivas moraliskt ansvar över huvud taget. Ett av argumenten som sägs hota den fria viljan är den omfattande situationistiska litteraturen, som verkar visa på att människors beteende påverkas mer av situationella faktorer än av personlighetsdrag. EH (Explanation Hypothesis) är en psykologisk hypotes som, förutom att redogöra för vardagliga moraliska bedömningar, kan reda ut filosofiska frågor såsom varför våra intuitioner kring moraliskt ansvar ter sig inkonsekventa. Denna studie testade EH experimentellt med en enkätstudie som dessutom undersökte folks intuitioner i moraliskt signifikanta situationer med kopplingar till den situationistiska litteraturen. Resultaten stärkte EH i enlighet med tidigare resultat, samt visade på att folks moraliska bedömningar inte påverkades av vetskapen om starka psykosociala fenomen som kan ha haft inverkan på agenternas beteenden. Implikationerna för den filosofiska debatten kring fri vilja och moraliskt ansvar, liksom begreppet determinism, diskuteras och förslag på fortsatt forskning läggs fram.How do we attribute moral responsibility, and why? The notion of free will is heavily debated within philosophy, thus questioning whether we can truly be morally responsible for our actions. One of the arguments said to threaten the notion of free will is the vast collection of situationist literature that seem to show that human behavior is often more influenced by situational factors rather than personality traits. The Explanation Hypothesis (EH) is a psychological hypothesis that make general claims about everyday moral judgements, as well as accounting for philosophical issues such as the inconsistency of folk-intuitions on these issues. This study used surveys to test EH experimentally, also investigating folk-intuitions on moral responsibility in scenarios related to the situationist literature. The results support the hypothesis according to an earlier, similar study, as well as showing that the participants moral judgements were not influenced by being made aware of strong, psychosocial phenomena that seem to have had an impact on agents behaviors. The implications for the philosophical debate on free will and moral responsibility as well as the notion of determinism is discussed and further research is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
When a business organization designs an ethics program, should it adopt a situationist conception of moral psychology or a virtue approach to character building? In this dissertation I argue that the answer is, both. The complement model is a recommendation for business ethics programs that blends the best aspects of these two theories in social psychology and philosophy. I start by giving a critique of the experimental literature surrounding situationism and argue that older adults have different prosocial competencies than the younger college-age subjects used in the situationist experiments. I give an explanation of virtue development, which concludes with the claim that older adults are an overlooked resource to be used in formal ethics mentoring programs. I also present the findings from a study I conducted with business ethics professionals, which provided information that I used to formulate the recommendations for the complement model.

Full textAbstract:
The researcher into character education faces two interlocking conceptual questions: the definition of character, and the definition of character education. The current debate about character provides a vantage point from which a dialectic between two conceptions of character respectively proposed by situationism and virtue ethics is critically scrutinised, and a conceptually profound, as well as empirically more adequate, notion of character is determined from it, which gives consideration both to the complex and multifaceted dimensions of character, and the actual prevalence of local traits. A fresh insight into the inculcation of virtues is thus derived, specifically via the idea of converting local virtues into more global ones. Local virtues serve as an unavoidable relay station in the time-consuming educational process between lack of virtue and full virtue. The more global the acquired local virtues become, the more virtuous one is. Given that the individualisation of moral character necessarily accompanies the inculcation of virtues, this more personal aspect of character development, and its corollary of the varieties of moral personality, enable us to have a proper expectation of the goal of character education. The influence exerted by temperament on the inculcation of virtues indicates that not all virtues are equally available to each of us, and the situational luck of moral upbringing highlights the limitation of one's agency over character. The correct recognition of the effects of different kinds of moral luck on the inculcation of virtues enables us to adopt a sound attitude by which to confront our responsibility for character. Finally, a localist account of character is proposed to provide an appropriate language in which character trait attributions and evaluations can be made. The thesis concludes by highlighting the importance of conducting a constructive dialogue between ethics and psychology in the interest of character education.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese tem como objetivo delimitar e analisar uma estratégia artística recorrente a partir do final da década de 1960, que consiste exclusivamente, ou incorpora como seu elemento fundamental, o ato de andar, na maioria dos casos por parte dos próprios artistas. Para definir essa prática, utiliza-se aqui o termo deriva, cuja matriz situacionista introduz o olhar social e politicamente engajado a partir do qual a maioria das obras analisadas foram criadas, e com base no qual elas são lidas neste contexto. Na primeira parte da tese, são desenvolvidas algumas considerações teóricas, com o fim de evidenciar algumas características recorrentes na produção das derivas, ao passo que elas são contextualizadas em preocupações e tendências mais gerais, como a que visa a desmaterialização da arte, ou a chamada estética relacional, entre outras. Na segunda parte, apresenta-se um compêndio bastante amplo, e apesar disso ainda longe de poder ser considerado completo, de obras pertinentes nesta discussão, produzidas ao longo das últimas quatro décadas.This thesis seeks to delimitate and analyze an artistic strategy that can be considered recurrent since the end of the 1960s, and which consists basically, or at least includes as its core element, the act of walking, mostly undertaken by the artist him/herself. In order to define this practice, the word employed is the Situationist term \"deriva\" (drift), which situates the reader in the socially and politically engaged context in which most of the works here analyzed were created, and based upon which they are therefore read. In the first part of the thesis, a series of theoretical considerations is made, aiming at identifying a few recurrent characteristics of the \"drifts\", while at the same time placing them in the context of more general trends and concerns, as the so-called Demateriali- zation of art, or Relational Aesthetics, among others. The second part consists basically of a large, although certainly not complete, summary of works that are relevant for this research, produced during the last five decades.

My first contribution is to the philosophy of psychology: uncritical reliance on the vague common sense concepts of “ trait” and “type” has been an obstacle for real progress in understanding human character. I am going to compare and clarify the use of these concepts in psychology, philosophy and common sense. Theories of personality are slowly finding their way out of a long crisis: inspired by the work of W.Mischel, I will show that the joint efforts of cognitive science and evolutionary psychology are needed to model personality processes correctly. As a second contribution, I am going to evaluate a neo-Aristotelian model of the psychology of virtue, based on the idea that we should strive for moral excellence in every relevant domain of life (unity of virtue). This model is based on ancient “generalist” theories of expert performance. Now, personality psychology and situationist social psychology show that the natural condition of human character is fragmentation and inconsistency. Contemporary psychology of expert performance proves that excellence in more that one or two domains is very rare. It follows that we should abandon the neo-Aristotelian model in favor of an account of specialized moral excellence in a limited number of virtues

Flykt i hög hastighet genom stadens raviner och klipplandskap, i en hängande berg-och-dalbanevagn med fötterna dinglande över stadslivet påverkas stadsuppfattningen av det visuella flödet. Hela tiden växlande g-krafter, ett lätt sommarregn och vinden i håret gör stadsupplevelsen fysisk på riktigt. Stockholms landmärken är välbekanta, där de glider i och ur synfältet, men ändå inte. Folk på marken tittar på dig, skrattar. Där! Visst var det din gamla fysiklärare i gathörnet? Borta! Projektet beskriver en berg-och-dalbana i Stockholms City. Banan förbinder Sergels Torg med Stureplan via loopar och svängar över tak, mellan hus, i gränder, över Kungsgatan och stannar till på ett par andra platser. Syftet är flerfaldigt; erbjuda en för storstäder unik typ av sightseeing, skapa möjlighet till den hisnande omedelbara glädjen som bara kan uppstå när kroppen utsätts för kontrollerade g-krafter, vara ett dekorativt slingrande fackverk med organiska stolpar i en hård stadsmiljö och frigöra de krafter som kan uppstå när människan möter staden på ett oväntat sätt. Som en del av projektet har ett flertal digitala verktyg utvecklats för att formge, analysera och simulera en rolig och njutbar berg-och-dalbanefärd. För generering av strukturens form, utifrån åkturens och stadens förutsättningar. För visualiseringar med planer, sektioner, animationer, bl.a. annat via kopplingar till karttjänster på internet.Flying along the city canyons at high velocity, sitting in an inverted coaster car with feet dangling above the street life, the optical flow alters your visual perception of the city. Constantly changing g-forces, a light rain and the wind in your hair makes the city experience physical. The landmarks of Stockholm are recognized as they enter and exit your field of view, but they feel different. People look at you, laughing. There! Wasn’t that your old physics teacher at the street corner? Gone! The project describes a roller coaster in the CBD of Stockholm, Sweden. The circuit connects Sergels Torg with Stureplan, going through loops and turns, over roofs, between facades, into alleys, along Kungsgatan, making stops at a couple of other places. The purpose is manifold; to provide a unique type of city sightseeing, create an opportunity to experience the specific and immediate happiness that only an abundance of controlled g-forces can give you, to be a decorative, clinging and surprising space truss with organic steel pylons in an otherwise hard city environment, and to release the powers that can ignite, when people get to meet the city in unexpected ways. Part of the project has been the development of a digital toolset to design, analyse and simulate a fun and pleasant roller coaster ride, to generate the geometry of the space truss and pylons, based on the needs of the ride and the city, and to generate plan drawings, sections, animations and connections to geographic data services on the internet.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation maps a proto-poststructuralist tradition and fuses a subsequent methodology with/in a practice derived from performance studies to uncover a spatially informed corporeal notion of subjectivity. Combining the cultural and historically radical motility of the street skateboard and precursory surfboard with an ambulatory interpretation of radical political philosophy and subjectivity this work explores, through the lens of a drifting practitioner, a quotidian routine in The Commute, and a distinctly urban practice, in The Skateboard Dérive. Functioning as case situations these performance events are used to elaborate, produce, and apply a drifting approach to critical spatial inquiry through the recognition of four elemental notions: drifting, situating, becoming, and fragmenting.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo experimentar a deriva e a psicogeografia, técnicas provenientes do movimento artístico intitulado Internacional Situacionista, no centro expandido do Recife. A deriva e a psicogeografia foram conceitos criados pelos situacionistas por volta da década de 1950. Enquanto a psicogeografia se apresenta como uma ciência de apreensão das afetividades urbanas, a deriva é compreendida pelo movimento como uma técnica de passagem por ambientes da cidade que compõe um desdobramento prático dessa apreensão psicogeográfica. A pesquisa pretende verificar a validade das técnicas em relação às suas propostas de aplicação e as possíveis contribuições dessa revisitação de ideias situacionistas numa cidade contemporânea. Para aplicação das técnicas foi elaborada uma metodologia baseada primordialmente nos preceitos situacionistas, mas que também agregou questões relativas à fenomenologia, à psicologia e ao estudo de mapas e diagramas. A partir dessa metodologia foram realizadas pesquisas de campo de cunho experimental que geraram documentos, relatos e ilustrações referentes ao resultado desse processo. As conclusões expostas posteriormente apontam para a validação de algumas das hipóteses situacionistas relativas à aplicação das técnicas e discutem em grande parte o papel das novas tecnologias além de outros fatores que tornam a experiência da deriva e da psicogeografia singulares na contemporaneidade.
This work intents to experience the dérive and the psychogeography, techniques of the artistic movement called Situationist International in the expanded center of Recife. The derive and the psychogeography were concepts created by the situationists in the 1950’s. While the psychogeography presents itself as a seizure science of urban affections, the drift is understood by the movement as a technique of passage through city environments, which makes up a practical unfolding of psychogeographic apprehension. The research aims to verify the validity of the techniques in relation to their proposals and the possible contributions of revisiting situationist ideas in a contemporary city. For the application of the techniques a methodology based primarily in Situationists precepts was created, but also with the addition of questions related to phenomenology, psychology and the study of maps and diagrams. Based on this methodology were performed experimental nature field researchs that generated documents, reports and illustrations for the result of this process. The conclusions later exposed point to the validation of some of the Situationists assumptions related to the application of techniques and discuss mostly the role of new technologies and other factors that make the experience of drift and psychogeography unique in contemporaneity.

A dissertação analisa a trajetória da Internacional Situacionista durante o período de sua existência, de 1957 até 1972, salientando as ressonâncias dos ideários das vanguardas do Futurismo, Dadaísmo e Surrealismo, no ideário da I.S.. Sua importância está vinculada a reinvenção do espaço público como lugar de criação cultural e ação política, além do fato de serem recorrentes na arte contemporânea as ideias de obra coletiva, participação, construção efêmera e de evento, que nos remete as ações da I.S. e dos movimentos citados. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar e compreender a ideia de situação construída, a qual era o propósito fundamental dos situacionistas. Nessa abordagem revelamos as origens da ideia de situação construída e como ela é fruto da revisão crítica que a I.S. faz das experiências e conceitos das vanguardas analisadas. A metodologia utilizada examina de forma comparativa os textos produzidos pela I.S. com os do Futurismo, Dadaísmo e Surrealismo, contrapondo suas ideias no campo da arte, cultura, política e meios de ação nos espaços urbanos. A leitura dos textos primários, obras de \"arte\" e jornais situacionistas formam a base da análise. Os textos pré-situacionistas assim como os textos referentes às vanguardas analisadas, indicam a arqueologia do pensamento situacionista, expondo as suas diferenças e aproximações fundamentais entre os movimentos. Enquanto os textos secundários, análise de historiadores e comentadores da I.S., expandem o universo situacionista no contexto das décadas de 50, 60 e 70, auxiliando na compreensão de suas teorias, julgamentos e ações.The dissertation analyzes the history of the Situationist International (S.I.) during its existence from 1957 until 1972, emphasizing the resonances of the ideals of the vanguards of Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism, the ideals of S.I.. Its importance is linked to the reinvention of public space as a place of cultural and political action. Besides the fact they are recurrent in contemporary art, the ideas of collective work, participation, construction and ephemeral event, which brings us the action of S.I. and movements mentioned. The objective of this research is to analyze and understand the idea of constructed situation, which was the fundamental purpose of the Situationists. In this approach reveal the origins of the idea of constructed situation and how it is the result of the critical of the S.I. makes the experiences and concepts of the vanguards analyzed. The methodology examines in a comparative way the texts produced by S.I. with Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism, opposing ideas in art, culture, politics and means of action in urban areas. The reading of primary texts, works of \"art\" Situationist and newspapers form the basis of the analysis. The pre-situationist texts as well as texts concerning vanguards analyzed, indicate the archeology of Situationist thought giving the fundamental differences and similarities between the movements. While the secondary texts, analysis of historians and commentators of the S.I., situationist expand the universe in the context of the 50, 60 and 70, assisting in the understanding of his theories, judgments and actions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the projects outlined by the Situationist philosophers and their impact on revolutionizing consciousness. Alongside of this examination this thesis demonstrates how the appropriate rhetorical means in conjunction with street art—specifically the work of Banksy—may lead to the successful implementation and execution of the Situationist's projects. This thesis examines the concept of the spectacle as developed by the Situationists as its object of critique and the concepts of culture, unitary urbanism, psychogeography, détournement and dérive as the framework in which the spectacle can be successfully critiqued in order to foster a more critical consciousness. In addition to this framework my claim is that the aforementioned elements are accomplished by the work of Banksy and his ability to alter the material conditions of our reality through his rhetorical construction of material enactments by creating appropriate and kairotic works which provide life to the Situationist's projects and affords the potentiality of revolutionizing consciousness.
In Figure 1. Banksy critiques the idea of spectacularization. There is a fear that technology will distract individuals’ from living and experiencing their lives to the fullest, that their desire to record moments will get in the way with actually living through experiences. In fact the concept of recording events, for many people, is bringing more life to those events than the event itself. We’re currently living in a society where the record of the thing itself is greater than the thing itself. Of course, whenever something is recorded it can be spectacularized--elevated to a greater degree of importance--and shared with many. At the same time, urban architectural achievements have become idols unto themselves. People visit the Eiffel Tower for the purposes of visiting the Eiffel Tower. Even in the act of being a tourist or a spectator we are being placed in positions of passivity. The goal is to absorb whatever man made phenomena has been constructed for the purposes of enjoying it intrinsically without understanding why.
In their article "Rhetoric and Materiality in the Museum Park at the North Carolina Museum of Art" Kenneth Zagacki and Victoria Gallagher rhetorically analyze the complex and interwoven spaces of the North Carolina Museum of Art. Their research claims that "the move from symbolicity to materiality involves a shift from examining representations (what does a text mean/what are the persuader's goals) to examining enactments (what does a text or artifact do/what are the consequences beyond that of the persuader's goals) and, as Carole Blair suggests, to considering the significance a particular artifact or text's material existence: What does it do with or against other artifacts? And how does it act on persons?" (Zagacki and Gallagher 172). This move from the purely symbolic importance of a text or artifact to its materiality is exceptionally important when discussing how potential Situationist projects can be materialized into and implemented effectively in the real world. The Situationists were essentially radical realists—their critiques need to exist in the most material form possible in order to generate the conscious liberation that they desired. That being said Margaret LaWare and Victoria Gallagher "...suggest that material rhetorics contribute to discourses of public identity by inviting visitors to see and experience landscape (or physical context) around them in new, and very much embodied ways" (as cited in Zagacki and Gallagher 172). The recursive nature of material rhetorics allows us to analyze exactly how environment's are affecting individual's subjectivities and how they too can go about affecting their world in new ways.
I turn to this article specifically for the methodology that Zagacki and Gallagher construct in order to discuss in a more concrete fashion the rhetorical complexity of these spaces and their potential affect on visitors:
we argue, through two material enactments of the human/nature interface that we characterize as ‘‘inside/outside’’ and ‘‘regenerative/transformative.’’ By ‘‘inside/outside,’’ we refer to the experience of moving (1) between constructed spaces, such as a museum space or an urban landscape, to less constructed, more organic spaces such as the outdoor park or the rural landscape; and (2) between what we refer to as natural history and human history. By ‘‘regenerative/transformative,’’ we mean moving (1) from natural states to human-constructed states and back again to nature, and (2) from one state of understanding to another. The capacity to create spaces of attention that call forth particular experiences reveals the potential rhetorical impact and reach of the Museum Park’s material forms. (173)
The framework established here is specifically most affective when discussing these specific spaces—not every material space will have an inside/outside which would lend itself to phenomenological observation. However, for the purposes of this project, I find it important to reflect on how the "static/dynamic" enactments produced by the space harboring Banksy's work functions as a method to produce the "concrete/utopia" enactment by détourning expectations of space via messages whose kairotic nature—its location in time and place—and content create a specific psychogeography which can revolutionize our expectations and engagement with the world.

Full textAbstract:
The liberal tradition has borne great fruits since the dawn of the modern era by emphasizing the value of equality and personal liberty, and by developing a theory of rights. Despite its incredible success, many authors have been pointing to fissures in the liberal structure, including practical and theoretical problems with state neutrality, with the state’s stance vis-à-vis different cultures, and with liberalism’s purported radical individualism. It is my belief that the gains of liberalism can be reconciled within a new theory that better answers to such critiques.
Citizenship Beyond Liberal Neutrality begins with an analysis of contemporary debate between liberalism and its critics. This leads to a discussion of the state’s relationship toward cultural identities, and to a discussion of the meaning of citizenship within a liberal-democratic state. What we need, I argue, is a civic identity that is both capable of judging cultural practices, and capacious enough for a citizenry characterized by reasonable pluralism. This common identity, moreover, provides a locus for attachment that is often found wanting in contemporary liberal theory. I draw on relevant insights from virtue theories, constitutional patriotism, and an ‘analogical’ understanding of public reason to inform a new, liberal-like conception of citizenship. In order to exemplify this conception, and to bolster the case for it, I consider how such a philosophy could play out with respect to two public policy areas that are central to citizenship, namely education and immigration.
Distilled to its simplest, I argue for a theory of citizenship that admits a conception of the good, that can promote virtue while respecting autonomy, and that can provide a basis for civic unity.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude s'est d'abord intéressée à la situation de sujets passifs face à la marchandisation progressive du monde contemporain et à la réaction qu'ils peuvent lui opposer. Nous avons choisi d'articuler cette problématique à l'analyse de la “construction de situations”, riposte des situationnistes face à la “société du spectacle”, dont Guy Debord est le théoricien bien connu. Nous y avons découvert l'importante influence du théâtre, notamment à travers le détournement des notions de “distanciation” (empruntée à Brecht), de “tragédie classique” et de “jeu”. Dès lors, le travail de recherche s'est engagé dans une généalogie de la notion de “situation”, en s'attachant, dans un second temps, à la situation dramatique. Il s'avère que la situation dramatique relie entre eux personnages, acteurs et spectateurs, fiction et réalité. L'exploration de leurs relations débouche, dans un troisième temps, sur la “situation existentielle”, en particulier sur le concept de “situation-limite” chez Karl Jaspers. L'un des principaux théoriciens de la situation dramatique, Étienne Souriau, y fait référence. Malgré leurs différences, une même intention traverse les situationnistes, le théâtre et la philosophie de l'existence de Karl Jaspers. Dans tous les cas, il s'agit d'appréhender la situation dans sa capacité à émanciper les sujets qui s'y trouvent aliénésThis study first began by examining the situation of passive subjects faced with the gradual escalation of merchandising in the contemporary world, and then the way they were able to react against this trend. We chose to link this problematic to the analysis of “the construction of situations”, which was the Situationists’ response to Guy Debord’s famous theory of “the society of the spectacle”. Here we discovered the significant influence of the theatre, most notably in the appropriation of concepts of “alienation” (borrowed from Brecht), of “classical theatre” and of “acting”. From this point on, the piece of research engaged with a genealogy of the concept of “situation” by next addressing “dramatic situation”. Dramatic situation would prove to connect different characters, actors and spectators in both fiction and reality. Examining these relations served to open a third section to the project on the “existential situation”. This was informed by the concept of “limit-situations” in Karl Jaspers, as referred to by one of the most important theorists of in the field, Etienne Souriau. In spite of their differences, a common goal unites the Situationists when seeking to discern the role of theatre in the philosophy of existence, as described by Karl Jaspers. Every one of them aims to grasp situations in their capacity to emancipate alienated subjects

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the science fiction novels of Swedish crime writer Per Wahlöö, most famous for his collaboration with his writing partner Maj Sjöwall on the ten Martin Beck mysteries. During two important years, 1964 and 1968, Wahlöö wrote the novels Murder On the 31st Floor and The Steel Spring, set in a near future land ruled by a social fascist power structure where political opposition is eradicated. The pretexted notion of this paper is that these novels consists of extensive quantities of criticism against the Swedish welfare state and the monopoly-capitalistic Swedish press during the sixties. Through the lens of science fiction theory and the notion of the novels as historical sources this paper concludes that Per Wahlöö´s science fiction becomes a bridge between the classic Swedish detective novel and the new social critic crime fiction in the style of Sjöwall-Wahlöö and others. The novels are also representations of the historical process in the mid-sixties during the radical turn: the sci-fi novels as social criticism of the contemporary society – an utopian flare. Other conclusions of this paper are the connections between Wahlöö´s novels and marxist critical theory as well as their relation to the Swedish labour literature´s view on the individual in the modern society. Especially Murder On the 31st Floor forebodes a lot of the radical marxist criticism so widely spread in the latter part of the sixties.

A proposta deste trabalho é investigar a validade da intervenção urbana como meio de comunicação, bem como procurar as razões pelas quais esta prática sobrevive em meio a um contexto tecnológico que aparenta superá-la. Com tal objetivo em mente, utilizamos estudos de caso que concatenam movimentos contraculturais da década de 60 com coletivos ativistas contemporâneos. Para tanto, pretende-se analisar o desenvolvimento das técnicas empregadas na gênese das práticas ativistas ao longo deste intervalo de 40 anos de desenvolvimento tecnológico.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity of urban intervention as a means of communication and seek the reasons for this practice survives in the midst of a technological environment that appears to overcome it. With this goal in mind, we use case studies that concatenate countercultural movements of the 60s with contemporary activist collectives. To this end, we intend to analyze the development of techniques employed in the genesis of practices activists during this interval of 40 years of technological development.

A hipótese é de que a eficácia estética desses experimentos, com o uso dos dispositivos teleinformáticos, evidencia as potencialidades político-ideológicas contidas na mídia, cujos usos costumeiros têm se prestado mais amplamente aos propósitos da ordem e à reprodução ampliada da produção capitalista. Nesse contexto, o conceito de \"situação\" tem particular relevo para a experimentação poética, ele expressa a ideia central do movimento Internacional Situacionista (IS), que consiste na adoção de um \"comportamento experimental poético\" como procedimento de intervenção afetiva no ambiente urbano convencional, cotidiano, visando sua transformação \"em uma qualidade passional superior\". Em Situações: da Tecnologia à interação entre Arte e Política, a partir da criação de um conjunto de situações procura-se constituir uma poética de subversão, cujo objetivo central é a instauração de um campo estético propício para novas experiências comunitárias em rede, aberto à participação coletiva, ao diálogo e à mudança de certos modos de produção. As operações poéticas efetuadas almejam também contribuir para a produção de conhecimento interdisciplinar acerca dos dispositivos de dominação política, no estágio de desenvolvimento capitalista em que a produção de bens culturais tornou-se fundamental à própria reprodução ampliada do capital, por meio da construção de duas situações: \"Intransferência\" e \"Unidade Tática de Comunicação Ativa - UTCAt\" e outros experimentos poéticos, trabalhos migrantes que, desarticulados das situações, mantém com elas estreita familiaridade.The present work, Situations: from Technology to interaction between Art and Politics, aims to present ways through which aesthetic experiences in urban spaces generate resistance acts capable of an effective expression within the political practice. It is constituted by aesthetic experiments via poetic operations which resort to teleinformatics technologies. The hypothesis is that the aesthetic efficacy of such experiments, which use teleinformatics devices, makes evident the political-ideological potentialities contained in such media, which have been more commonly used in support of the Order and for the enhanced reproduction of capitalist production. In this context, the concept of \'situation\' is of much consequence for poetic experimentation, it expresses the key Idea of the Situationist International (SI) movement, which consists in the adoption of an \'experimental behavior\' as an affective intervention procedure in the conventional everyday urban environment, targeting its transformation into \'a higher passional quality\'. In Situations: from Technology to interaction between Art and Politics, stemming from the creation of a set of situations, we attempt to build a poetics of subversion, whose central objective is instituting a favorable aesthetic field for new community web experiences, open to collective participation, to dialogue and to the change of certain modes of production. The poetic operations carried out also intend to contribute to the production of interdisciplinary knowledge about the political domination devices, in the stage of capitalist development in which the production of cultural goods has become fundamental to the very amplified reproduction of capital itself, by means of the construction of two situations, \'Intransference\' and \'Tactical Unit of Active Communication - TUAcT, along with other poetic experiments, migrating works which, albeit not articulated with the situations, keep with them a close familiarity.

Full textAbstract:
La presente tesi di dottorato propone uno studio sull’Internazionale situazionista (IS), in specifico ripercorre la storia del movimento attraverso il fenomeno del gioco e della rappresentazione, non solo figurativa ma anche letteraria. La conclusione a cui sono giunta, sulla base di uno spoglio nuovo di documenti in parte inediti e in parte editi, ma ancora non esaminati in tale prospettiva, è che appunto l’aspetto ludico sia una chiave di lettura centrale per la comprensione del movimento culturale proprio dell’IS. La storia del movimento è qui considerata come un “continuum”, si afferma che non c’è stato nessun passaggio da movimento artistico a politico, e non c’è stata nessuna sostituzione di progetto. L’ambito artistico e politico si sono fusi per confluire direttamente nella vita quotidiana poiché non dovevano esserci separazioni e allo stesso tempo dovevano essere superati attraverso il gioco. La rivoluzione doveva partire dalla collettività, quindi la sfera in cui dovevano agire i situazionisti era la cultura, abbattendo contemporaneamente la vecchia e creandone una nuova. È proprio nella cultura e nella vita degli esseri umani che il fenomeno del gioco si rivela fondamentale.
Sulla letteratura critica del movimento, il gioco è sempre rimasto relegato come elemento marginale all’interno delle loro teorie e delle loro pratiche, senza essere stato utilizzato dagli studiosi per analizzare né il processo d’origine ed evolutivo dell’IS né la sua funzione sociale in rapporto alla cultura e alla collettività. Il gioco è il “mezzo” e il “simbolo” del movimento nella sua “totalità”.
In questa ricerca si è prediletto inizialmente un approccio storico-descrittivo del gruppo predecessore, l’Internazionale lettrista, mentre sono stati utilizzati dei casi studio, quali azioni, opere o progetti, per una rilettura dell’IS, contestualizzando gli eventi e ripercorrendo le tappe principali del gruppo. L’opera di Johan Huizinga, “Homo ludens", è stata naturalmente impiegata in questo studio, ed è stata confrontata con le note di lettura del libro, al momento inedite, di Guy Debord. A seguire, sono stati esaminati e utilizzati due trattati di riferimento sul tema del gioco: “Les jeux et les hommes” di Roger Caillois e “Le jeu comme symbole du monde” di Eugen Fink. Altri autori sono stati essenziali per lo studio del gioco e della rappresentazione, come Giorgio Agamben e Bertolt Brecht per citarne alcuni.

Esta dissertação se propõe a investigar, no campo da arquitetura e urbanismo, os empregos do termo \"utopia\" num período em que este foi especialmente movente e dissensual: o final dos anos 1950 até o início dos anos 1970, no contexto europeu. Elegeu-se, para estudo de caso, as proposições da Internacional Situacionista e do Superstudio. Acompanharemos de forma mais detida os escritos situacionistas desde a fundação do movimento (1957) até cerca de 1961, período em que as discussões do grupo estão voltadas para a arquitetura, o urbanismo e a arte. No caso de Superstudio, priorizaremos a sua produção desde o seu surgimento (dezembro de 1966) até 1973, que é quando o interesse do grupo migra do tema da utopia para o estudo de modos de vida vernaculares e não-urbanos. A eleição destes dois grupos diz respeito à forma bastante distinta com que cada um lida com a questão das utopias, ao mesmo tempo que o lastro marxista comum nos permite traçar uma série de comparações, marcando as suas aproximações e divergênciasThis dissertation proposes to investigate, in the field of architecture and urbanism, the The term \"utopia\" in a period in which it was especially Dissensual: the late 1950s to the early 1970s in the European context. The case of the Situationist International and the Superstudio. We will more closely follow the situationist writings from the Foundation of the movement (1957) until about 1961, when discussions of the Focus on architecture, urbanism and art. In the case of Superstudio, We will prioritize its production from its inception (December 1966) until 1973, Which is when the interest of the group migrates from the theme of utopia to the study of modes of Vernacular and non-urban life. The election of these two groups concerns the Quite different from what each one deals with the question of utopias, at the same time That the common Marxist ballast allows us to draw a series of comparisons, marking Their approximations and divergences.
