Here is an interesting example of detournement in the style of the Situationists. A detournement is the use of one type of media form that has a propaganda content that is diametrically opposed to the form it takes. This example has the form of an illustrated evangelical religious tract that actually talks about the dilution of the rave scene. The point of this tract is to show how participants at raves have become like an audience at rock concerts rather than full participants who define the rave.
