The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord (English) Paperback Book

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord, Donald Nicholson-Smith For the first time, Guy Debords pivotal work Society of the Spectacle appears in a definitive and authoritative English translation. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative as Guy Debords "The Society of the Spectacle". From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism and everyday life in the late 20th century. Now available in English translation, Debords text remains as crucial for understanding the contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly changing image/information culture. Notes "In all that has happened in the last twenty years, the most important change lies in the very continuity of the spectacle. Quite simply, the spectacle"s domination has succeeded in raising a whole generation moulded to its laws. The extraordinary new conditions in which this entire generation has lived constitute a comprehensive summary of all that, henceforth, the spectacle will forbid; and also all that it will permit." Guy Debord (1988) Author Biography Writer, filmmaker, and cultural revolutionary, Guy Debord (1931–1994) was a founding member of the Lettrist International and Situationist International groups. His films and books, including Society of the Spectacle (1967), were major catalysts for philosophical and political changes in the twentieth century, and helped trigger the May 1968 rebellion in France.
