Launched in 1997, Oiseau-tempête “stood at the confluence of Situationist ideas and Surrealist aesthetics” (Marcolini 220, translation is mine). It was put together by a “collective of a dozen individuals with varied perspectives, inspired by anarchist, marxist, situationist and surrealist ideas” (ibid). Barthélémy Schwartz, who later launched “Editions Ab Irato”, was a major figure of the periodical. The name Oiseau-tempête refers to a a seabird (the petrel) that foretells tempests. It also alludes to Edward Sexby.

Interesting, but I am not sure why you describe Edward Sexby as “an early anarchist”. As far as I can see he never advocated anarchy or anarchism, which would have been a remarkable innovation of the time, He is no way comparable to Gerard Winstanley, for example. In fact, he was like certain Bolsheviks like Ruth Fischer who despairing of the consequences of their political intrigues became rabid reactionaries by collaborating with secret agencies of rival world powers.
I think the “Stormy Petrel” arises from Cromwell’ speech in parliament delivered in October 1658:
One noisy element, then, is out of this world : — another is fast going. Frantic-Anabaptist Sexby, over here once more on Insurrectionary business, scheming out a new Invasion of the Charles-Stewart Spaniards and English-Irish Regiments, and just lifting anchor for Flanders again, was seized ‘ in the Ship Hope, ‘ in a mean habit, disguised like a countryman, and his face much ‘ altered by an overgrown beard ; ‘ — before the Ship Hope could get under weigh, about a month ago. Bushy-bearded Sexby, after due examination by his Highness, has been lodged in the Tower ; where his mind falls into a very unsettled state. In October next he volunteers a confession ; goes mad ; and in the January following dies, and to his own relief and ours disappears, — poor Sexby.
Sexby, like the Stormy Petrel, indicates that new Royalist- Anabaptist Tumult is a-brewing. ‘ They are as the waves of the Sea, they cannot rest ; they must stir up mire and dirt,’ — it is the lot appointed them ! In fact, the grand Spanish Charles- Stuart Invasion is again on the anvil ; and they will try it, this year, even without the Preface of Assassination. New troubles are hoped from this new Session of Parliament, which begins in January. The ‘ Excluded Members ‘ are to be readmitted then ; there is to be a ‘ Second House : ‘ who knows what possibilities of trouble ! A new Parliament is always the signal for new Royalist attempts ; even as the Moon to waves of the sea : but we hope his Highness will be prepared for them !
In fact he was ready to hobnob with royalists and the bastions of power and authority in Spain etc. . . .
Changes made and thanks for all the interesting context on Sexby!!!
