Through each of the book's four chapters, Dominique Routhier dissects Situationist pamphlets, documents, artworks, and objects that refract elements of a \"cybernetic hypothesis\": the theoretically hyperbolic belief that technological progress, computers, and automation make class struggle and the idea of revolution obsolete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith equal attention to aesthetic detail and to the broader contours of political economy, this book serves as a critical intervention in art history as well as a call to reconsider, more broadly, the contemporary lessons of the most political of all artistic avant-gardes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428462477548,"sku":"9781804292556","price":38.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781804292556.jpg?v=1774496606"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dominique-routhier.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
