Drawing on a historical study of the "urban drifts" carried out in the northern suburbs of Paris in the 1950s by members of the
Lettrist International, and later by those of the nascent
Situationist International, Anne-Marie Morice traces the journeys of Guy Debord, Gil J. Wolman, Jean-Louis Brau, and others, and explores how this lived relationship with urban space—central to Situationist thought—influenced both their artistic practice and their theoretical developments.
Anne-Marie Morice is a French art critic, curator, and essayist. She founded the online contemporary art magazines Synesthésie and Transverse.
