The situationist enthusiasm: arquitectura del espectáculo, espectáculo de la arquitectura
Abstract
The pertinence, and the way the “situationist” ideas can be interpreted, has been imposed by the architectural institution for its contemporary restatement, and it is unavoidably marked by the historical tone of post-modernity and its very particular way to relate with
the past.
A symbol of this form of relation, is the character of “enthusiasm”, that the “International Situationist” has arisen in the academic scene of architecture, becoming an operational referent for diverse experimentalisms, mostly involved in the dismantling of representative
resources inherited from the modern movement. Nevertheless, this specific use of the ideas, by the contemporary architectonic thought and its time frame, bare an inevitable deactivation of the core of the “situationist” struggle: the criticism and emancipation of everyday life.
