Drawing on evidence from Debord’s books, films, letters and notes, Bunyard reconstructs the Hegelian and Marxian ideas that support Debord’s central concept of ‘spectacle’. This affords a reconsideration of Debord’s theoretical claims, and a reinterpretation of his broader work that foregrounds his concerns with history and lived time. By bringing Situationist theory into dialogue with recent reinterpretations of Marx, this book also identifies problems in Debord’s critique of capitalism. It argues, however, that the conceptions of temporality and spectacle that support that critique amount to a philosophy of praxis that remains relevant today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements List of Illustrations  Introduction: Radioactivity  Subjectivity, Temporality and Spectacle  1 Interpreting the Theory of Spectacle  2 Five Aspects of Debord’s Theoretical Work  The New Beauty: 1951–62  3 ‘We are Artists Insofar as We are No Longer Artists’  4 The Everyday and the Absolute  5 ‘Avant-Gardes Have Only One Time’  ‘Everything that had Formerly been Absolute Became Historical’  6 Debord and French Hegelianism  7 Subjects and Objects: Debord, Lukács and the Young Marx  8 Life and Non-life  In Pursuit of the Northwest Passage: 1963–73  9 Never Work!  10 ‘I am Nothing and I Should be Everything’  11 The ‘Fetishism of Capital’  The Integrated Spectacle: 1974–94  12 Moving with History’s ‘Bad Side’  13 Strategy and Tactics in the Integrated Spectacle  14 The Knight, Death and the Devil  Bibliography Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210628620631,"sku":"9789004225268","price":139.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/debord-time-and-spectacle-hegelian-marxism-and-situationist-theory-9789004225268","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
