A Situationist New Year's Spectacular: Discussion about Guy Debord, the Situationists, and the Society of the Spectacle
12/31/18 • 59 min
1 Listener
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.
