In the past decade Tom McDonough has established himself as one of the foremost scholars in the English language on the postwar French intellectual, artistic and architectural scenes. He edited Guy Debord and the Situationist International: Texts and Documents (2002), which assemble dozens of works, many previously untranslated, by and about the SI, and wrote The Beautiful Language of My Century: Reinventing the Language of Contestation in Postwar France, which continues his investigation of the SI from a critical historical perspective. McDonough joins host Jason Farago to discuss the continued artistic appeal of Situationism, the historical background of contemporary French art, and the mixed legacy of May '68.
