The Introduction to Detournement as Pedagogical Praxis

Abstract

While preparing to write this introduction to Detournement as Pedagogical Praxis, I read a great deal about the Paris-based avant-garde group called the Situationist International (SI) because the theory and critical practice of detournement is most often associated in academic writing with the SI. I eventually realized that what I was writing based on the research I was doing about the SI was actually material that went far beyond the purposes of this book, and so I conceptualized another book that will follow this one, a book provisionally titled Situationist Theory and Education.
