Abstract

DIAS, Juliana Michaello M.. “The great game to come”: the Situationist International and the idea of the urban game. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2007, vol.7, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1808-4281.

The Situationist International, group that appears in 1957 and keeps operating until the beginning of the seventies, had as one of its ultimate issues giving visibility to the loss of a certain “playful character” in the cities. Operating as critical of Modern Urbanism, through its Unitary Urbanism (UU), the situationists had considered a new form of appropriation and perception of the art, architecture and urbanism using optics that approached them to the daily life, but at the same time searched to bring to debate the passion and the emotion in the city. While demonstrating the necessity to join daily life and game, the situationists denounced the necessity of a return of the playful character to the cities, and if they did so it was for believing that the game had been lost in the urban contexts. In this article we will analyze the form as the game, while playful activity, was presented in the situationist speech and its proposals of performance in the urban space.

Keywords : Situationists; Unitary urbanism; Play.
