Are We Still Living in Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle?

Photo: Thomas Staub

Following their recent Trip episode on Situationism, the gang offer a close reading of The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord, first published in France in 1967.

Nadia, Jem and Keir explore the layered references and subversions throughout Debord’s extremely quotable aphorisms on alienation, representation and the spectacle.
