Abstract: A collection of assembled printed manifestoes, tracts, exhibition catalogs, and posters created by members of Internationale
Situationniste (I.S.). The founding of this politically charged artistic and literary movement can be traced through the small

Acquired 1998.
This artificial collection was created from materials acquired from
two separate sources. Both collections were primarily composed of books
initially accessioned by the library. The remaining ephemera was transferred to
Special Collections. Lynda Bunting organized the ephemera and wrote the box
list.
A politically charged artistic and literary movement active from 1957-1972 with roots in Internationale lettriste and Mouvement
international pour un Bauhaus imaginiste. Internationale situationniste members include Enrico Baj, Asger Jorn and Guy Debord,
among others.
Scope and Content of Collection
An artificial collection of printed manifestoes, tracts, exhibition
catalogs and posters created by members of Internationale situationniste
(I.S.), including Enrico Baj, Asger Jorn and Guy Debord. The founding of this
politically charged artistic and literary movement can be traced in the small
amount of ephemera by the Internationale lettriste and Mouvement international pour un Bauhaus imaginiste groups, both
precursors to I.S. A number of documents by Spur, a German faction
of I.S., record the internal tensions within I.S. that would eventually
disintegrate the movement.
