This study analyzes the avant-garde breakthroughs in response to social crisis, with case examples from the Situationism of the Protests of 1968 in Europe and Culture Craze phenomenon in China in the 1980s. Protests of 1968 was triggered by the sense of crisis felt by post-war university students and their resistance to authoritarian culture, with the ideological basis rooted in Situationism, which opposes all authority and existing orders. Chinese Culture Craze phenomenon, as a reflective consideration of the Cultural Revolution, emphasized a humanistic perspective and sought avant-garde breakthroughs in the fields of arts and literatures, offering alternatives to escape the authoritarian left-wing tendencies and restore humanity. Although these concepts differ in their approaches, they share similarities in their radical break from a bleak reality, rejection of authority, and emphasis on humanity. This study suggests that efforts to overcome social crises such as infectious diseases, disasters, war, poverty, and economic crises should continue based on avant-garde breakthroughs and transformative thinking through culture and networks.
