Guy Debord Series

Guy Debord was a French Marxist theorist whose work explored the spiritual decline of modern life driven by economic forces. He conceptualized the 'spectacle' as social relations mediated by images, which he argued leads to alienation. This alienation, Debord posited, is not merely a psychological state but a consequence of social organization reaching its apex in capitalism. His writings delve into how the pervasive influence of images and consumer culture erodes genuine human connection.
