Realisation of the situationist projections

The movement of the Situationist International is defined as speech,
thought and engagement through critical strategy, publication of
anarcho-marxistic truth, falsification of repressive behaviour and
terrorism of different sociocultural significations.
The representants of this movement, known and unknown, right and
left, were working with synchronical treatment and affirmation of
parallelity in time until to their proclaimed self-dissolution in
1972.

In the beginning of nineties the Situationist International enters
the museum archives of the unstable market space. With this act
situationism is decorating the armour of management knowledge and
becomes quasi contra-criticism.
On the marketplace of the social field such contra-criticism is only
weapon of cultural management or similar mediators, that are
responsible for building the image of the superconsumer.

In this analysis we rely on existing archives and resources
containing material and relations referring to the situationists. Of
central importance for understanding the realisation of the
situationistic projections is their application on the social field
and beyond it and the general spreading of meanings.

Socio-field can be defined as first field of projection/fiction, on
which is imposed totalitarian homogenity after the annihilation of
the economical, political, cultural or ideological frame. Information
and communication processes are groups that project themselves into
the frame of this field and other integration systems like it is the
system of market.
Management is defined as global acting in the sense of organisation
of information- and communication-processes on the first field of
projection.
Passwords or slogans show up like keys on the surface of the first
field of socio-projection/fiction. On their link-relations we read
the instruments for the administration of cultural politics and
ideological sharing of power.



Anarchistic background, dadaism, lettrism, situationism,
communication guerilla, neoism and all kinds of terrorism leave us
back in a simple mode of dialectical definition and create a climate
of power that constructs the cultural product for the constitution of
terrorist models of market. (We can explain this on the example of
neoism: The neoist is like a maniristic rest of situationism, knocked
out by the economies he was following. He does not offer a way out of
the project's multilayers, which situate themselves like unstable
criticism inside of the parodistic contra-cultural worshipping of all
subfields and models of marketing economy.)
This climate is able to connect and to penetrate all levels of the
hierarchical patriarchal materialist heritage with a legal product of
terrorism, that is a terminology manipulated according to market- and
political engagement in the name of a totalitar bureaucratic model
with polyimperialist intension.


An example for this process can be seen at the term of culture. What
remains from the cultural engagement like an evidence of mediation
and management terror is only economical political cultural ware,
i.e. product. This "cultural acting" will be transformed into the
password "artistic work", in relation with the
managemental-economical-ideological act.

This new "password" will have the right to enter specific
architectures and to applicate on this fundament. (Cultural
management corrects the romantic tails of art according to the
current ideological political reality.) Passwords for entering a
special cultural field show up like keys i.e. "key words" or
parameters that can be measured through statistic methods of
advertising strategies. The intention of profit groups in ideology
and politics is calculating with the frequency of their occurance.
The real arrangement of moving or statical values can be seen through
slogans of discoursive groups, their outcomes, the size of archive,
the way of movement and the transformation of the term itself.

The password "situationism" can be expressed in relation to other
statistical keys. In september 2003 it was around 2,38%, whereas
"fluxus" could reach only 0,02 percent points.  That means in
relation with other pop slogans inside the discours of cultural
politics "SI" is very high rated.

Representation and functioning of this password and also its
application on the extension of the cultural subfield is a factor for
the predatory act of management strategy. A row of parameter like the
velocity of changes of links, new archives and repetition through
quotation give measureable values which determinate further
strategies.



Speaking about the Situationist International is a problem of
language itself and turns into megainterpretation. The question, if
Debord's  "Society of the Spectacle" can be understood like a
didactical material about polydialectical systems of pop guerilla,
piercing, games, neo punk and tatoo culture packed inside of the
situationistic lowbudget frame of interpretation.... it seems like
this attempt is not possible.

The antagonisms of the fragmental field of projection show the
following applications:


Situationism realized itself in two aspects:

1. market (extends to the first field of projection, might correspond
with the idea of the "intergrated spectacle")

2. subjective personal plan (in this direction situationistic idea
about realisation of the world revolution might be possible)



1.
According to the first application: The Idea of the Situationist
International is absorbed by manager's activism. In fact the
situationist activist is the ideal manager. He is playing with value
ranges, provokes conflicts on the scene of the projected media field,
profiles categories and instruments, distributes skandals and
boomerang collages in the discourses of expectation, he is
constituing fake identities, performances PR and para-advertizing.
The manager is the flower of the situationist tradition, but also its
bastard.

The failed megadreams of situationists transformed into bureaucratic
agencies, which are selling the last pieces of neo-avantgarde.
Techno-romantism, décor management, politics of the corporational
investitions and power, 5th observation field, multilevel marketing
of copy left and unformal economies of the flee markets, NGO-re-watch
experiments, copies of dead presentation, anti-globalist movements,
para-economies of agencies, peasant's neo-anarchism, open source,
disgusting architectural transparence of signification are victims,
who are neither accepting the modesty of economical materialism nor
the death like outsiders.

Actions on the street, sixtyeight-contra-paroles, RAF underground,
unbelievable strategies of political parties in postcommunistic
systems, students parodical nonprotests, neo-nazism of populist
leaders that are hunting unstable identities to stick nationalist
quotations on them, bombing and terrorist performances with
non-existing fundamentalist expression, quasi dictatorship practice,
police violence - attempt to control body and informations, all
together is contra-situationistic practice and overtakes the public
sphere in desinformative manner.


picture A. in the dark zone of the first socio-economical projection
field Situationist International (SI) was sucked from manager's side
(M).




picture B. Mutant manager activist, good armoured, using many
techniques and strategies produced by situationist actionism (SI)
together with the following "pro-situ" phenomenon.


To criticize the SI phenomenon is affirmation through the practice of
quantity, which situationists are suggesting themselves. This is
almost didactic method. With repetition and quotating of this name
itself we are building a fundament of value that stands undisputed in
the floating systems of para-advertising.

In this space of accumulation context really does not exist. With
quotating and mentioning this name we are filling archives already
full of confirmations, opinions and recipies about the Situationist
International. These archives can be used with any purpose, and this
pure quantity is showing the nature of term itself. It is erased,
transformed and emerges again like a password.

Incredible lists of quotations are expanding from disappeared
authorships to custom values of the tribal urban elite. From the very
beginning dealing with SI heritage should have been transformed into
nothing. This means not to mention and not to write it. We beg for
euthanasia of the name and to exile SI from language and text.





2.
But what is happening on the personal projective plan, on which we
can build defence and where management terror can not harm us? There
is a moment when the integrating performance is not enough
equvivalent and valid, then only subjective truth released from
utilitaristic fundaments can give this kind of solution.

To be recognized by the group of expectators, you have to sacrifice
your subject like a first step into the field of market. You become a
victim of the economical strategies. The biggest problem is inside of
the repetitive affirmation system. The main characteristic for every
unstabile subject surrounded by knowledge inside the space of the
first field of projection is repetition. The reference of the matrix
is the presentation of repetition. Affirmation through sedimented
repetitive practices like breathing air, eating and drinking, perform
a strong factor to keep the cult of progenitors. Language and text
are the most scary products of this repetitive practice. Without
repetitive affirmation communication is not possible.

The recipe is simple. Stay in your own personal-subjective space and
don't let any information interrupt your personal power. Do not
receive information! To be in uninformative modus means not to absorb
meta-economical strategies from the space of market. Not to have
answer about things and aspects from the socio-political reality. Not
to participate.

The space of uncommunication is space of revolutionary idea. Sabotage
of the communicational channels can offer a real chance to leave the
totalitar homogene situation. According to the algorithm of language
we don't have rhetorical ability to name this uncommunicative
saboteurs. This recipe can be considered like a simple solution: Our
algorithm is catastrophy!

Rejection of repetitive affirmation demolishes the basic matrix of
thinking inside the materialistic spectrum of projections. This act
calls upon to the brutal act of erasing the everyday life. It
disqualifies representation and it is based on the idea that the
first field of projection is built like a construction of reality.
This reality is constantly dissolving and can be seriously disturbed
in its fundament of practices and wishes.

This kind of unsystematical acting can be realized in: Creating an
absolutely personal space without legimation through context and
repetitive affirmation.
Not to participate in any kind of "creative or uncreative" animation.
Not to base criticism on spatial relations and not to criticize the
first field of projection. Not to transform communicational
information, not to spread information, not to use or share
information or "desinformation".

To work under the "OUT" amateur quasi regime. OUTpraxa is Sendipraxa,
Lipstic Collectors, Subjective Totalitarism, Belgrade Zeros,
Displaced Dilemma.
