Cosmonauts of the Future
Texts from the Situationist Movement in Scandinavia and Elsewhere
Edited by Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen and Jakob JakobsenThis is the first ever English-language anthology collecting texts and documents from the still little-known Scandinavian part of the Situationist movement. The book covers over three decades of writing, from Asger Jorn’s Luck and Chance published in 1953, to the statements of the Situationist Antinational set up by Jens Jørgen Thorsen and J.V. Martin in 1974. The writings collected gravitate around the year 1962 when the Situationist movement went through it’s most dynamic and critical moments, and the disagreements about the relationship between art and politics came to a culmination, resulting in exclusions and the split of the Situationist International.
The Situationists did not win, and the almost forgotten Scandinavian fractions even less so. The book broadens the understanding of the Situationist movement by bringing into view the wild and unruly activities of the Scandinavian fractions of the organisation and the more artistic,...

The Essence of Jargon
Alice Becker-HoTranslated by John McHale. Introduction by Roger Farr.
A poet, translator, and co-editor (of the letters of her late husband, Situationist Guy Debord) who has written extensively on the etymology and history of European slang, Alice Becker-Ho examines argot as a form of self-defense from the State, a code for people who survived outside the law. “In slang, loan words are above all borrowings of one dangerous class from another; that these loan words, confirmed in different slangs, go back to common sources, themselves blended initially into a sort of melting pot before being redistributed via a host of different routes….”

With The Tactical Reality Dictionary Konrad Becker presents a manual illuminating 72 of the most important terms in “Cultural Intelligence and Social Control.” In the “deceitful” order of a dictionary, we find short essays on key concepts from the technical terminology of “cyber-sociology”: “Ambiguous Information,” “Belief Networks,” “Consistent Illusions,” etc.Rigorously researched through authentic intelligence sources, this unique document presents shocking insights on the dark underbelly of crypto-psychology, and sheds a completely new light on culture and the media.The individual — long outpaced by the deluge of information and the power of the media — is helplessly exposed to propaganda and manipulation. The fear-driven desire for personal security and complete surveillance is contrary to the idea of individual autonomy, but the newest security technologies not only undermine privacy, they force their way into the most intimate and private zones of the individual. “A Leviathan-like scenario where man is forced to abandon his right of self-determination against personal security.” But this dictionary can be used differently…....
