	Guy Debord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guy Debord (born December 28, 1931; died November 30, 1994) was a writer, film maker, hypergraphist and founding member of the groups Lettrist International and Situationist International (SI).
		Debord's analysis developed the notions of "reification" and "fetishism of the commodity" pioneered by Karl Marx and Georg Lukács.
		Debord has been the subject of numerous biographies, works of fiction, artworks and songs, many of which are catalogued in the excellent bibliography by Shigenobu Gonzalves, "Guy Debord ou la Beaute du Negatif".

	Guy Debord - Situationist, Lettrist, Philosopher - Biography
		Guy Debord was born in Paris on December 28, 1931.
		Debord proclaimed himself the leader of the SI, and saw himself responsible for maintaining the high ideals he had in mind for the group, but to equate Debord with the SI in all its activities would be misleading.
		In 1984 Lebovici was assassinated, and Debord was tangentially implicated.

	Guy Debord (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For decades, Guy Debord's The Society of the Spectacle was only available in English in a so-called "pirate" edition published by Black & Red, and its informative-perhaps essential-critique of modern society languished in the sort of obscurity familiar to political radicals and the avant-garde.
		Debord's intention was to provide a comprehensive critique of the social and political manifestations of modern forms of production, and the analysis he offered in 1967 is as authoritative now as it was then.
		Debord's own offerings in Society of the Spectacle are generally vague, beginning with claims like Consciousness of desire and the desire for consciousness together and indissolubly constitute that project which in its negative form has as its goal the abolition of classes and the direct possession by the workers of every aspect of their activity.

	Guy Debord's Complete Film Scripts (Introduction) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Guy Debord (1931-1994) was the most influential figure in the Situationist International, the notorious group that played a key role in catalyzing the May 1968 revolt in France.
		Debord’s works are neither ivory tower philosophical discourses nor knee-jerk militant protests, but ruthlessly lucid examinations of the most fundamental tendencies and contradictions of the society we live in.
		As a result of this new development, statements by Debord that used to be dismissed as extravagant or incomprehensible are now with equal superficiality dismissed as trite and obvious; people who used to claim that the obscurity of situationist ideas proved their insignificance now claim that their notoriety demonstrates their obsolescence.

	A Few Extra Remarks on Guy Debord - Revolutionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Part of Debord's appeal is his ability to consider capitalism as being historically transient - without this sense of historicity, his entire project would be senseless: "the project of the domination by all people of their own history, at all levels." Debord engaged in a dialectical analysis of history, not an antihistorical approach to structure.
		Debord was a particularly harsh critic of structuralism: "the apology for the spectacle institutes itself as the thought of nonthought, as the official amnesia of historical practice."
		Debord's radical call for people to make their own history and his noble attempt to embody this call becomes a matter of culture studies: In the pictures of the early Beatles in Hamburg, "one can watch the invention of pop culture, its reception and its instant reinvention: a form of reversible connecting factor.

		This superb addition to a growing body of biography on Debord, by independent scholar, Anselm Jappe is an excellent text.Jappe has managed, with significant passion, to recuperate the historic figure of Guy Debord from the clutches of mainstream thought in which "situationism" is often currently passed off as a trendy form of rebellion.
		Debord and his contemporaries refused the idea of their work becoming any '-ism' just as they refused to become leaders after 1968 when their followers wanted to follow.
		Guy Debord is described through many of his own words; by the "constructed situations" which he actively created; by converging notions of social and political life; by the 1968 revolution and its outcomes; by his events and their effects.

	Guy Debord and the Problem of the Accursed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This is where Debord cut through all the aesthetics of pleasantness in favor of an artistic action that provokes action, even if the action has every chance of spontaneously turning against the person who violently wrenches the spectators from their chairs, from their somnolence.
		Debord reveals an importance in art, which is carefully hidden in the "beaux-arts," but is scientifically and secretly manipulated in propaganda and in advertising, both commercial and political.
		Guy Debord's callaboration in Fin de Copenhague, a small, spontaneous book written in 24 hours, has been commented on: its effects have spread with astonishing speed, in just a few months among specialists of art books and typography, both in the United States and in Europe.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| The suicide of Guy Debord
		Debord's war against "the spectacle" was conducted as a series of tactical manoeuvres, "the construction of situations", whose main aim was always to wrongfoot the enemy.
		Guy Debord was, however, not an artist and he was not interested in challenging or shifting perspectives between art and spectator.
		Yet "Le Musée Guy Debord" already exists: the stencilled graffiti of Debord's image which appeared around Debord's haunts on the rue Dauphine and the rue de Buci in the wake of his death are testimony to this.

		Guy Debord (1931-1994) was the most influential member of the Situationist International, the avant-garde group that triggered the May 1968 revolt in France.
		But while Debord's written work is some of the most notorious in the world of political and cultural radicality, deemed "the cornerstone cliché of postmodernism," his films have until now remained tantalizingly inaccessible.
		After being withdrawn from circulation for nearly two decades (by Debord himself, to call attention to the 1984 assassination of the producer of the films, Gerard Lebovici), all six films were featured in a special "Guy Debord Retrospective" at the 2001 Venice Film Festival and re-released in France in 2002.

	Guy Debord will not be missed
		Debord is best known for his classic book The Society of the Spectacle, which recently appeared in an authorised English translation from Zone Books, but is best known for the underground edition circulated for many years now by a bunch of Detroit anarchists called Black & Red.
		Debord was a classic radical in the sense that his critique of contemporary society was total and uncompromising.
		Debord has few illusions in the end about the fate of revolution, and none at all about the Stalinist societies that claimed revolution as their patrimony.

	Guy Debord: Obituary
		In reality it was the self-imposed mystery which created the impenetrable and adventurist aura, barely available to the media and prone to violent argument; Guy Debord liked to hide his true self behind a blanket of gossip, speculation and even spite in his dealings with others, and to never let it see daylight.
		These were the years when Debord participated in the seminars of Lefebvre at Nanterre and during which he developed his critique of daily life which had already been expounded by this philosopher and sociologist from Nanterre in the late 50s.
		All these considerations lead back to the unanswered question of who Guy Debord was; a man who, at the age of 62, decided to put an end to his life and to foreclose his real life story asking forgiveness for his own mistakes.

		Guy Debord was self-proclaimed leader of the Situationist International, He was responsible for the longevity and high profile of Situationist ideas, although the equation of the SI with Guy Debord would be misleading.
		After the dissolution of the Situationist International, Debord was tangentially implicated in the assassination of his friend and publisher Gérard Lebovici.
		Debord continued writing, and in 1989 he published his Commentaries on the Society of the Spectacle, arguing that everything he wrote in 1967 was still true, with one major exception: the society of the spectacle had reached a new form, that of the integrated spectacle.

	Guy Debord - Revolutionary
		Guy Debord (1931 - 1994) was the leading figure of the avant-garde Lettrist International of the 1950s and, more importantly, the central theoretician of the Situationist International (1957 - 1972).
		Bracken refers to a rather autocratic style of Debord in the S.I., at least in passing, which is related to a larger, and undiscussed problem: a situationist fetish of organization.
		Of course, it is easy and maybe unfair to demand everything from a text written thirty years ago, including, to cite another theme, at least a slight realization of the pitfalls, shall we say, of society as a machine for production and a technological construct.

	Guy Debord. - Debate on the Web
		I was just reading about Guy Debord and came upon the term "integrated spectacle." The website didn't define it, so I was wondering what it was.

	Pierre Guillaume Remembers Guy Debord
		Thus, I brought Debord to formally join S. ou B. As I was evoking those memories in answer to the questions of a friend who happens to be a great expert in the history, publications, and polemics surrounding the Situationist International, he displayed a real amazement.
		Debord imparted to me both this letter and the task of meeting the author, on behalf of the S.I. as well as that of S. ou B. That author was Raoul Vaneigem.
		It would be pure nonsense to reproach Debord for his limits, as long as he doesn't try to impose his own limits upon anyone, and particularly not on the social movement, and it doesn't seem that he ever did.

		Guy Debord was one of the founders of the situationist movement of the 1960s; his Society of the Spectacle has become an indispensable text for anyone seeking to understand the pop culture of global capitalism.
		Debord, avant-garde poet, theorist, leftist political provocateur, and filmmaker, was a founding member of the French leftist movement Situationist International, which matured in the 1960s.
		The "movement" Debord founded, this construction of situations, is simply the blunted lance of a broader movement of consciousness, embedded in absences.

		In his autobiography, Guy Debord described himself as "an extraordinary example of what this era did not want." As the years since his 1994 suicide flow through us, accelerating, without distinction or meaning, it becomes more and more obvious that Debord and his comrades were precisely what this era needed most of all.
		The biography "Guy Debord, revolutionary," by Len Bracken, offers the first comprehensive description of the most unitary of unitary critiques, as it evolved in Debord's thought, and in the thought of a very few others.
		It's true that sources about Debord are scant, but the late master's widow and friends are well-known for their reluctance to go on the record.

	Guy Debord and the Situationists
		Guy Debord emerged as the most important figure: he had been involved in the Lettrist International, and had made several films, including _Hurlements en faveur de Sade_ (1952).
		Inspired by the libertarian journal _Socialisme on Barbarie_, the Situationists rediscovered the history of the anarchist movement, particularly during the period of the First International, and drew inspiration from Spain, Kronstadt, and the Makhnovists.
		At the end of 1967, Guy Debord in _The Society of the Spectacle_ and Raoul Vaneigem in _The Revolution of Everyday Life_ presented the most elaborate expositions of Situationist theory which had a widespread influence in France during the 1968 student rebellion.

		There is more and more to say about Guy Debord; one can scarcely walk through the bohemian district of the bookstore without toppling a stack of biographies and gossip.
		Perhaps it's an apology for not noticing in a timely fashion how incisive was his description of daily life, political domination, and their entwined fate.
		John Ashbery may find himself in the same review with Guy Debord as an umbrella finds itself on a dissecting table with a sewing machine; at best, we can place them both in Paris in 1955, one lurching down Rue Lacenaire, the other lunching with Giacometti.

		Guy Debord's concept of 'spectacle' is now widely bantered about in any discussion on the nature of consumer society.
		For by the mid-60's it was clear that not only would imaginative and non-alienating uses of technology not be on the horizon, but that a stronger defensive must be made for existing environments that were about to be totally consumed for capitalist techne.

		Concepts such as the 'Spectacle' and their incisive analyses of the alienation and misery present in life and work in affluent capitalist society, as well as the role played by revolutionaries (and those who claim to be) have if anything become more relevant as time has passed.
		Jappe successfully gets to grips with the content of Debord's and the SI's activity in a way that is accessible and doesn't require a vast amount of prior knowledge or an extensive vocabulary of obscure jargon in order to understand it.
		Now that he is safely dead Debord is being gradually resurrected as an elegant stylist and avant garde artist by the cultural and academic circles that he avoided and mocked, and who maintained a 'conspiracy of silence' about him while he was alive.
