Summary:
Revenant de façon systématique et rigoureuse sur les principaux concepts et expériences mis en jeu dans la pensée de Guy Debord, ce recueil d'articles réfléchit le programme de dépassement de l'art prôné par le penseur situationniste tout en s'interrogeant de façon prospective sur les possibilités de son devenir. Apparue dans le contexte des années 50 et 60, l'œuvre de Debord s'est efforcée d'achever le projet à la fois artistique, éthique et politique porté par le dadaïsme et le surréalisme dans la première moitié du XXe siècle?: jusqu'à affirmer la nécessité pour l'art de se supprimer en tant que tel, pour mieux se réaliser dans la vie et comme vie. Les différents articles qui composent ce recueil entendent revenir sur quelques-unes des principales expériences, ou quelques-uns des principaux concepts mis en jeu pour cela?: situations, dérives, détournements. On les examinera dans leur systématicité, leur complexité voire leur ambiguïté?; on s'interrogera sur leur devenir, après le reflux y compris des mouvements révolutionnaires dans les années 70, ainsi que sur celui du programme de dépassement de l'art dont ils procédèrent. Comme autant de manières d'en questionner l'intérêt aujourd'hui encore, pour penser et agir un projet émancipateur.
