| Summary: | <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The focus of this article is on the concept of “situation”, which lies at the very origin of the </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">Situationist International</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;">, as it has been theorized in particular by Guy Debord. The aim of this paper will be to show the relationship between Debord’s concept of </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">situation</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"> and the concept of </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">repetition</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"> as theorized by Deleuze in </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">Difference and repetition</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"> (1968). Such a conceptual proximity allows us to grasp some less known aspects of Debord’s thought, in respect to the critical part of his own reflection, which is much more known. Both authors share a similar conception about the peculiar structure of </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">repetition</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"> like its own specific temporality. Such a commonality is manifest in various typical situationist proceedings; in particular: </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">dérive</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;">, </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">détournement</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"> and cinema (considered as way to overcome the alienation of art).</span></span></p>
