Comments on the Society of the Spectacle (Verso classics)
€15.50
First published in 1967, Guy Debord’s stinging revolutionary critique of contemporary society, `The Society of the Spectacle’ has since acquired a cult status. Credited by many as being the inspiration for the ideas generated by the events of May 1968 in France, Debord’s pitiless attack on commodity fetishism and its incrustation in the practices of everyday life continues to burn brightly in today’s age of satellite television and the soundbite In `Comments on the Society of the Spectacle’ published twenty years later, Debord returned to the themes of his previous analysis and demonstrated how they were all the more relevant in a period when the ‘integrated spectacle’ was dominant. Resolutely refusing to be reconciled to the system, Debord trenchantly slices through the doxa and mystification offered tip by journalists and pundits to show how aspects of reality as diverse as terrorism and the environment, the Mafia and the media, were catight tip in the logic of the spectacular society. Pointing the finger clearly at those who benefit from the logic of domination, Debord’s Comments convey the revolutionary impulse at the heart of situationism.
