Constructing the Situation

I found Gerald Raunig's "Constructing the Situation: the Situationist International and the passage of a few people from art revolution" both interesting and confusing.
I am familiar with Deborard's "Society of the Spectacle" and after watching the film i would agree in his film strategy to be successful for "driving provocation as far as possible as it was designed to." His use of montages of so many different images are confronting with a narrated voice that distracts you to read his subtitles. This film depicts how much mass media and advertising have a central role in a capitalist society.
Upon my research i discovered it was his book that has been considered the influence for the Situationist International. Debord was a founding member of this group and Lettrism (French avande garde movement)

"Previously the most lucid artists had wanted to break the separation between art and life: the S.I. raised this demand to a higher level in their desire to abolish the distance between life and revolution"
- Gilles Dauve.

What i gathered from this reading is that Situationist International wanted to look to a life that would not be dominated by Capitalist order and pursuing of superior passional quality as well as fullfillment of human desires.
"Our central idea is the construction of situations, that is to say, the concrete construction of momentary ambiances of life and their transformation into a superior passional quality"

It was all about creating a situation- a state of enviornment, a singular point in time with defined characteristics.
"So what really is the situation? It is the realisation of a better game, which more exactly is provoked by the human presence. The revolutionary gamesters of all countries can be united in the S.I. to commence the emergence from the prehistory of daily life.
Henceforth we propose an autonomous organisation of the producers of the new culture, independant of the political and union organisations which currently exist, and we dispute their capacity to organise anything other than the management which already exists."
"Situationist International Manifestio" (From L'internationale Situationiste 4, June 1960)
