Together with friends, in the context of Organ of the Autonomous Sciences, I wrote a long essay for e-flux journal on a disturbing and “irregular” metamorphose from a group of excommunicated Scandinavian situationists to a bunch of neofascists. Here’s an excerpt:
“Nashists, then and now, have always failed to construct genuinely free situations, as they depend on some authority within it—in concrete terms, the presence of journalists or police officers. Nashists, old and new, exploit a cunning method in which the police essentially sanction their provocations by standing guard against potentially violent reactions from their targets of harassment, whether minorities, journalists, or other artists. Consequently, Nashist happenings allow for neither chance nor free play, but rather affirm a need to be recognized and valued, as all Nashists seek to be honored members of society—in short, parrots (patriots).”
