En todas partes se plantea la misma terrible pregunta, que desde hace dos siglos avergüenza al mundo entero: ¿Cómo hacer trabajar a los pobres allí donde se ha desvanecido toda ilusión y ha desaparecido toda fuerza? El espectáculo es el mal sueño de la sociedad moderna encadenada, que no expresa en última instancia más que su deseo de dormir. El espectáculo vela ese sueño. La mercancía es la ilusión efectivamente real, y el espectáculo es su manifestación general. Cuando la masa de mercancías se aproxima a lo aberrante, lo aberrante en cuanto tal se convierte en una mercancía específica. Emanciparse de las bases materiales de la verdad tergiversada: he ahí en lo que consiste la autoemancipación de nuestra época. La verdad de esta sociedad no es otra cosa que la negación de esta sociedad. Este libro ha de leerse tomando en consideración que se escribió deliberadamente contra la sociedad espectacular. Sin exageración alguna.

Work Description

Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative as Guy Debord's 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 twentieth cenlury. Now finally available in a superb English translation approved by the author, Debord's text remains as crucial as ever for understanding the contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly changing image/information culture.

Excerpts

IN SOCIETIES dominated by modern conditions of production, life is presented as an immense accumulation of spectacles.
