Hey all,
Upon consultation with Debord expert Jen Kennedy, I am suggesting that we use Ken Knabb's 2002 translation (aka the "Red & Black" version) of Guy Debord's "The Society of the Spectacle" for our December reading.
It is available for free online. You can download it as a pdf here and find it at this website.
For those of you indebted to the formal marketplace (I am under the impression the Debord was not), the printed version looks like this.
Our date is 12/21 (palindrome!) and unless anyone suggests otherwise I am going to suggest that we meet again at 8pm.
There was some talk during our first meeting about perhaps screening a Debord film. If anyone wants to take the lead on organizing that I think it could be a nice addition. Perhaps it should be done close to the meeting so that there is more time to read the work.

Thanks for leading the charge on this. I was planning to blog this up, but got lost in a cloud of gravy over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have some of Debord's films, including Society of the Spectacle and some shorter works, which we can watch then. They can fun. They can also be bludgeoning. But there's usually lots of nudity.
How long is "Society..."?
