Guy Debord

Guy Debord was a remarkable author, filmmaker, philosopher, revolutionary, and provocateur, famous for his involvement in French politics and culture in the postwar period. A founding member of the Situationist International (1957), he was a dedicated proponent of the idea of a cultural and social revolution, shared by many in the second half of the twentieth century. Debord’s text The Society of the Spectacle (1967) became a classic.
