An Illustrated Guide to Guy Debord’s ‘The Society of the Spectacle’
“Spectacle,” Debord’s term for the everyday manifestation of capitalist-driven phenomena; advertising, television, film, and celebrity.
...autocratic reign of the market economy
...capitalism’s instrument for distracting and pacifying the masses
The spectacle reduces reality to an endless supply of commodifiable fragments, while encouraging us to focus on appearances. For Debord, this constituted an unacceptable “degradation” of our lives.
