Second Situationist International
The Second Situationist International were a small group of situationists (the "Nashists") who broke away from the Situationist International (SI). Jørgen Nash identifies the first manifestation of the group as a leaflet signed by himself along with Jacqueline de Jong and Ansgar Elde, shortly after the group Seven Rebels was formed at Situationist Bauhaus at Asger Jorn's farm Drakabygget in southern Sweden.[1][2][3] Before the rupture with the SI, Jorn, who sided with the SI against Nash, emphasised situlogy, "the transformative morphology of the unique."[4] Howard Slater describes the break between the "Parisian" and the "Scandinavian" tendencies as amounting to "a conflict between a conceptual and an expressionist approach, or, to echo Jorn's two tendencies of situlogy, a conflict between the ludic and the analytical," and quotes the Drakabygget Declaration:
The Drakabygget Declaration was the founding document of the Second Situationist International, which appeared in the Situationist Times No. 2, 1962. The declaration was signed by Jørgen Nash, Jens Jørgen Thorsen, Gordon Fazakerley, Hardy Strid, Stefan Larsson, Ansgar Elde, Jacqueline de Jong, and Patrick O'Brien,[6] following their expulsion from the Situationist International. The contributors to Situationist Antinational were all associated with the Second Situationist International. See alsoReferences
