My wager is that the pivotal period of the group is to be found between 19, a period marked by the split of 1962. ![]() The focus of my thesis is to explain how the Situationist International (SI) became a group able to exert a considerable influence on the ultra-left criticism that emerged during and in the wake of the May movement in France in 1968.

I appreciate his willingness to tell his story but I cannot make room for it in my mind and heart just now. I believe this is why soldiers returning to “normal” life cannot speak of the atrocities they have seen and experienced-we cannot relate and are horrified.

And in those heat-soaked rags of time, I wished for every mountain in Iceland to shudder down rocks upon us, concealing us for ever from the gaze of the world. In those last moments of wakefulness, blinking up at the stars, as I sensed Pétur’s sweat cooling on my skin, I felt utterly human and fallen, and utterly content. God might strike me down, but I felt saved and whole. I did not simply hold Pétur in my arms I embraced him with blood and bone, clasped him with muscle and spirit, everything that I was and hoped to be. ![]() Tiny moments of golden brilliance, gossamer-thin and stretched to breaking, in a life otherwise steeped in grim shadow. ![]() Then, in the darkness, the world and everything in it became as skinless as water, no boundaries to show where one wave ended and the next began, our bodies like paired oars, each movement driving us further into the unknown. “Sometimes we woke in the night, huddled against the cold. ![]() |
