Situationist slogan badge
The slogan on this badge is a misspelled adaptation of a quotation by Ivan Chtcheglov, a member of the Situationist International, a radical French grouping of artists and theoreticians active between the late 1950s and early 1970s. The slogan comes from an essay entitled 'Formulary for a New Urbanism' which sets out some of the utopian ideas about the city with which the Situationists are most commonly associated, including the derive, or 'drift', a practice of disassociation in a familiar environment carried out through walking. Today, many of the Situationists' ideas about the urban environment have become popularized through the idea of 'psychogeography', an explicitly political and psychological approach to the built environment.
