conjured with a strong element of deliberation
Does the highlighted sentence want to say that "Sadler himself as a person who tries to explain the ideas of situationism agrees that situationists themselves deliberately impose complications into the conceptions of this movement"?
Context:
The conditional tenor of Sadler’s observations points to a perennial sense, when it comes to contemplating the situationists’ work, of not quite being able to visualise what – or, indeed, how much of what they talked and wrote about – they actually did (or performed). And what exactly it ‘looked like’In spite of considerable academic attention involving the deft negotiation of an array of scattered tracts, drawings and manifestoes, a fundamental ‘slipperiness’ seems to remain. As an implicated party in this endeavour, Sadler himself identifies such a perception as one conjured with a strong element of deliberation on the part of the situationists themselves.

"implicated" means involved in or participating in, not just trying to explain its ideas (though maybe he does that too). However, it is a bit puzzling as to whether the dates fit, since he was apparently not born until 1968, which may have been after the movement ceased to exist. Perhaps it's been revived or something.

- Edit: sorry, I think the "endeavour" refers to "contemplating the situationists’ work", not actually being a situationist, so I think you are right.
