- This special issue constitutes an outcome from a major research project, Reviewing Spectacle: The Pasts, Presents and Futures of the Situationist International and Contemporary Performance, led by Finburgh-Delijani. Finburgh-Delijani conceived the project’s aims, to offer the first in-depth and broad-ranging study of the legacy in contemporary performance of the ideas and practices of the Situationist International – artistic and political agitators in part responsible for provoking the May 1968 protests in France. She was the Principal Investigator (2016-18) of Reviewing Spectacle, for which she won external funding totalling £200 000 from the AHRC (UK) and Agence Nationale de la Recherche (France). She facilitated collaboration between an international team of six senior academics and two postdoctoral researchers, and led the project team to curate two performance festivals at the théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers near to where the 1968 uprisings began and théâtre l’Échangeur in a low-income Parisian banlieue; and the Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Art, which since the mid-twentieth century has welcomed avant-garde performance. These partner institutions hosted in total fourteen performance artists that the project team invited from France, Belgium, Canada, the USA, UK and Democratic Republic of Congo, and the events were attended by around 400 people. Finburgh-Delijani also commissed an associate artist for the project, Graeme Miller, who created a new performance inspired by the Situationist International, performed in Paris and Glasgow. She steered the project’s outputs, which included in the UK Performance Research 23.7, On Drifting, and this special issue of Théâtre/Public 231, Internationale situationniste, Théâtre, performance, co-edited with Christian Biet and Cristina de Simone, to which many specialist scholars and artists at the Paris festival contributed. Finburgh Delijani was contributed a sole-authored 7500-word Introduction, 8000-word sole-authored article, and 7000-word interview with the associate artist, Graeme Miller.
