New Translations of Debord

Bill Not Bored (notbored.org) has announced some interesting progress on a recent project, as follows:
Comrades
  1. We have translated all of the first volumes of "Guy Debord, Correspondance" (1957-1960, and 1961-1964), neither of which have been in English before. So far we have uploaded the letters to or concerning Ivan Chtcheglov, Socialisme ou Barbarie and the Zengakuren. Scroll to "Letters" on http://www.notbored.org/debord.html

  2. We are the online publishers of two pirated translated of new books by Cornelius Castoriadis, a co-founder of Socialisme ou Barbarie. Neither has ever been in English translation before. See http://www.notbored.org/RTI.html and http://www.notbored.org/FTPK.html

  3. We have begun a series of essays on "Money and Literature." Scroll to the bottom of http://www.notbored.org/contents.html

  4. We have finally worked out the weaknesses of Foucault's "Discipline and Punish" with respect to Debord's "Society of the Spectacle." See http://www.notbored.org/foucault-and-debord.html

  5. This Foucault/Debord commentary is an extended footnote to the beginnings of our meditations on "the prison." See "All the World's A Prison" at http://www.notbored.org/all-the-world.html

  6. We have resumed selling situationist memorabilia. See http://www.notbored.org/buy.html

  7. For a very good read, see "Dancing in the Streets! Anarchists, IWWs, Surrealists, Situationists & Provos in the 1960s, as recorded in the pages of the 'Rebel Workers' and 'Heatwave'" (Charles H Kerr, 2005)
Best wishes for May Day, etc
