A Situationist New Year’s Spectacular: Discussion about Guy Debord, the Situationists, and the Society of the Spectacle

In the years since Guy Debord wrote "The Society of the Spectacle" we have witnessed the utter triumph of said spectacle and have been thoroughly crushed under the jackboot of its mediocrity. We think that some of the ideas of the Situationists are even more relevant now than they were in 68 and are worth having a conservation about, so we did. https://www.patreon.com/theregrettablecentury A Short List of Some of the Readings For this Episode: Society of the Spectacle (full text) https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/debord/society.htm Revenge of the Spectacle http://www.redwedgemagazine.com/online-issue/revenge-of-the-spectacle-this-time-its-personal Bringing Fuel to The Flames: Anselme Jappe's Guy Debord http://www.redwedgemagazine.com/online-issue/bringing-fuel Notes on the Spectacle of Opposition https://www.sayitwithpavingstones.org/news/2018/6/29/some-notes-on-the-spectacle-of-opposition Why Psychogeography? https://www.sayitwithpavingstones.org/news/2018/8/14/derive-0-why-psychogeography Background on 1968 https://jacobinmag.com/2018/05/how-beautiful-it-was/
