Episode 170: Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle" (Part Two)
The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast - Ein Podcast von Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey
Kategorien:
More on the 1967 Situtationist book. Do we buy Debord's critique? Is any merely partial critique (i.e. no revolution) just more spectacle? Is technology inherently dehumanizing? Don't these passivity/anti-technology arguments even apply to books? Could Debord's model of authenticity catch on in society as a whole? Start with part 1, or get the Citizen Edition. Please support PEL! End song: "Millionaire" by The Mekons (1993); Jon Langford appears on Nakedly Examined Music #22.
