Debord is popularly known for his classic book \u003ci\u003eThe Society of the Spectacle\u003c\/i\u003e (1967), but his masterwork is the Situationist International (SI), which he fashioned into an international revolutionary avant-garde group that orchestrated student protests at the University of Strasbourg in 1966, contributed to student unrest at the University of Nanterre in 1967-1968, and played an important role in the occupations movement that brought French society to a standstill in May of 1968. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book begins with a brief history of the Lettrist International that explores the group's conceptualization and practice of the critical anti-art practice of détournement, as well as the subversive spatial practices of the dérive, psychogeography, and unitary urbanism. These practices, which became central to the Situationist International, anticipated many contemporary cultural practices, including culture jamming, critical media literacy, and critical public pedagogy. This book follows up the edited book \u003ci\u003eDétournement as Pedagogical Praxis\u003c\/i\u003e (Sense Publishers, 2014), and together they offer readers, particularly those in the field of Education, an introduction to the history, concepts, and critical practices of a group whose revolutionary spirit permeates contemporary culture, as can be seen in the political actions of Pussy Riot in Russia, the \"yellow vest\" protesters in France, the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and the striking teachers and student protesters on campuses throughout the U.S.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSee inside the book\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Trier\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
