(USA) directly links Bay Area Dada to knowledge of the situationists. "Those
who, from the Dadas of the 1920's to the situationists, see only the recuperative
function of verbal poetry, have advocated its 'suppression.' But in this they fail to
see the way in which this poetry, which is nothing other than language at its most
subjective, reasserts the living power of language in the face of the dead
language of power. They ideologize the real necessity, which is the 'suppression'
of poetry by means of its realization: the overflowing of its creativity and
imagination into the reconstruction of everyday life."
