Abstract Details

2006, MA, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture.
This study addresses the influence of Guy Debord (1931-1994) and the Situationist International (hereafter SI) on some punk rock art of the 1970s, particularly that of Jamie Reid (b. 1947). It examines the early work of Debord and the Lettrist International, the SI, and the latter groups’ concepts of urbanisme unitaire (integrated city creation), dérive (a method of moving through urban space), and détournement (a kind of agitprop intervention in posters and in historical icons of art). Détournement in particular was a key influence on poster art created during the 1968 student/worker protests in France, but the SI imprint is also evident in the graffiti and slogans created during this time of unrest. I further trace how, by way of the events of 1968, the SI went on to influence Reid’s punk rock art in 1970s England.
