ClassWargames Presents Guy Debord's The Game of War
A film, game and discussion

The proletarian revolution is that critique of human geography through which individuals and communities will begin constructing places and events suitable for the re-appropriation not only of their labour, but also of their total history. By virtue of the resulting mobile spaces of play, and by virtue of freely chosen variations in the rules of the game, the autonomy of place and the authenticity of life will be discovered.
                                                      Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle

Richard Barbrook, Stefan Lutschinger und Ilze Black will be introducing the ClassWargames film on Debord's ludic experiment and then hosting a collective playing of The Game of War while discussing its importance to our understanding of Situationist theory and practice.
