Situationist International
Anti-Public Relations Notice
So you agree with the SI!
You want to join the SI!
We only ask of you a little preliminary work, to verify objectively (in your own
interest as well as ours) how close you are to our concerns and your ability to
participate fully in our undertaking. (The SI does not want mere disciples.)
- Choose for yourself a point in the theses published by the SI that you consider
important and develop some arguments and possible expansions of it. (Minimum one page
typescript; no maximum.)
- Choose for yourself, out of the same texts published by the SI, a point that can be
criticized and destroy that position. (Same conditions.)
NOTE: This is not a meaningless game. The SI often proceeds like this
in order to reexamine its own bases and develop new ideas. Perhaps you will chance on a
point already criticized. But you might also initiate an appropriate critique of a
position insufficiently questioned by us until now. Thus your critique, if it is well
done, will be valid in any case; and it may even be useful in bringing up something new!
