Guy Debord Read Bio Collapse
Guy Debord Read Bio Collapse
Guy Debord (1931–1994) was a French theorist, filmmaker, and founding member of the Situationist International, a group that sought to critique and subvert capitalist society. He is well-known for his book and film The Society of the Spectacle in which he offers one of the most sustained critiques of a media and consumer culture that alienates individuals from authentic social relations. His ideas are considered to have played a key role in shaping the events of May 1968 in France. Debord’s work continues to influence critical theory, political thought, cinema, and other art practices.
