Description
Guy Debord: A Revolutionary Mind This biography offers a powerful corrective to the prevailing views on Guy Debord's work, instead focusing on his debt to the Hegelian-Marxist tradition and left-Marxist currents of council communism. Anselm Jappe provides a superb gloss on Debord's magnum opus, The Society of the Spectacle, shedding new light on its significance. Debord is placed squarely in context among the Letterist and Situationist anti-artists who sought to criticize and transcend the legacy of Dada and Surrealism. Jappe's book provides a lively account of the Situationists' theory and practice, tracing their development from radical bohemianism to revolutionary theory and action. This PM Press reprint edition features a new author's preface and a bibliographical update, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to understand Debord's influential ideas.
