Society of the Spectacle



Uploaded by: dalanmcnabola
Video Description:
My 2004 take on Guy DeBord's Society of the Spectacle. I combined a George W. Bush Speech on the Iraq War, images from news channels, and text from DeBord's "Society of the Spectacle."

The ultimate ... ( 1 year ago by JoeyDaytona)
The ultimate triumph of style over substance causes us all to reconsider whatever we once held dear, I believe it is in that act of pausing and reflecting that we can begin to seperate ourselves from the simulacra and attempt to create something real, something true...

I found De Bord's book totally impenetrable. What is "the spectacle"? Many thanks.
Debord has failed. ... ( 1 year ago by fastmailfm)
Debord has failed. That is the only way to explain the confused posts you all have made. That is why they are teaching this in media studies. That is why Debord could be seen as similar to the rip off Baudrillard when they have nothing in common. This is not supposed to be gnosticism. This is supposed to be an updating of both anarchism and marx;s thought for the post world war 2 era. Read Debord by Anselm Jappe.
"This perfect ... ( 1 year ago by cbrislain)
"This perfect democracy fabricates its own inconceivable enemy, terrorism. It wants, actually, to be judged by its enemies rather than by its results. The history of terrorism is written by the State and it is thus instructive. The spectating populations must certainly never know everything about terrorism, but they must always know enough to convince them that, compared with terrorism, everything else seems rather acceptable, in any case more rational and democratic."

Debord hasn't failed as long as someone who grasps detournement is spreading thought-provoking video. . . After watching this, I dug into Debord's text and found this section which I think is illuminating (section 6 in Society of the Spectacle):
"Understood in its ... ( 10 months ago by ontheraido)
"Understood in its totality, the spectacle is both the result and the project of the dominant mode of production. It is not a mere decoration added to the real world. It is the very heart of this real society's unreality"
"In all of its ... ( 10 months ago by ontheraido)
"In all of its particular manifestations--news, propoganda, advertising, entertainment--the spectacle represents the dominant model of life. It is the omnipresent affirmation of the choices that have already been made in the sphere of production and in the consumption implied by the production."
"In both form and ... ( 10 months ago by ontheraido)
"In both form and content the spectacle serves as a total justification of the conditions and goals of the existing system. The spectacle also represents the constant presence of this justification since it monopolizes the majority of the time spent outside the production process."

Would you say that Youtube is a spectacle or a situation? It does have fleeting moments of authenticity, but seems governed by images, same as the rest of our society. Plus it is even more impersonal and alienating.

Extremist religious "terrorists" hear voices, think it is a higher power, get captured and tortured, so we torture the mentally ill. A city is made up of religious extremists and we bomb them over there because they are Muslim, yet we tolerate the Fundamentalist (Church of) Latter Day Saints (FLDS) IN Utah and elsewhere - I'd like to see an Islamic religious city here remain unbombed.
