Overview

Urban living involves a daily onslaught of advertisements, corporate art, and mass-mediated popular culture. As oppressive and alienating as this spectacle may be, its very ubiquity offers plentiful opportunities for semiotic jiu-jitsu and creative disruption. Subversive and marginalized ideas can spread contagiously by reappropriating artifacts drawn from popular media and injecting them with radical connotations. This technique is known as d tournement. Popularized by Guy Debord and the Situationists, the term is borrowed from French and roughly translates to "overturning" or "derailment." D tournement appropriates and alters an existing media artifact, one that the intended audience is already familiar with, in order to give it a new, subversive meaning.
