An introduction to Jean-Claude Lutanie's thought and work just have been published in the american magazine The Third Rail (issue #7). It has been written by the new-yolked based curator and critic Rachel Valinsky, and it is followed by excerpts of a translation of the original text (Protestation devant les libertaires du présent et du futur sur les capitulations de 1980) to English. The magazine will be launched next week at the LA Art Book Fair at MOCA and will be available online soon after.

A re-edition of the re-impression of Protestation (http://editionslutanie.fr/_en/index.php/project/j-c-lutanie--protestation-/) is upcoming. It will be a bilingual version, translated from the French by Rachel Valinsky: http://rachelvalinsky.com/Jean-Claude-Lutanie-The-Third-Rail

As an answer to this increasing interest on Jean-Claude Lutanie's work, and as the French publisher of Jean-Claude Lutanie, I think that it is the right moment to have an online biography of the author on Wikipedia.

Moreover, Jean-Claude Lutanie's Protestation devant les libertaires du présent et du futur sur les capitulations de 1980 is widely cited in Guy Debord correspondence: https://books.google.fr/books?id=ggey6C9OUOkC&pg=PT114&lpg=PT114&dq=guy+debord+correspondance+protestation+devant+les+libertaires&source=bl&ots=bt526GDffx&sig=jWjz4caWsRUDMAAwEq2YjCtavms&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi3tciRlOTKAhUFGCwKHQamDQUQ6AEIKDAB#v=onepage&q=guy%20debord%20correspondance%20protestation%20devant%20les%20libertaires&f=false

The author published anonymously the original version of the text, so his name itself isn't cited but the book's title appears many times in texts and books on situationnism.
