VANIEGEM, RAUOUL
(1935-)
Although he broke with what was left of the [[Situationist International]] in 1972, [[Vaneigem]] continues to write in a recognizably [[situationist]] style (1995).

A similar notion of [[interpellation]] can be found in [[Vaneigem]]'s contribution to the theory of [[situationism]] (1967).
Confronted by the flow of [[sign]]s and [[image]]s that cosntitute [[Debord]]'s '[[society of the spectacle]]', [[individual]]s are constantly [[interpellated]] by posters, advertisements and stereotypes offering universal [[image]]s in which they are invited to recognize themselves.
The function of [[interpellation]] is to block spontaneous creativity.
Whether or not there is any direct connection between the two notions of [[interpellation]] remains unclear.
