A User’s Guide to Détournement

politicalkaraoke — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 20:53:40 +0000

“Détournement not only leads to the discovery of new aspects of talent; in addition, clashing head-on with all social and legal conventions, it cannot fail to be a powerful cultural weapon in the service of a real class struggle. The cheapness of its products is the heavy artillery that breaks through all the Chinese walls of understanding. It is a real means of proletarian artistic education, the first step toward a literary communism.”

Guy Debord, Gil J. Wolman, 1956
