Definición

  • The concept of spectacle, conceived as “not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images” (Debord 1994, Thesis 2), was popularized (and politicized) through Guy Debord's work and the publication of his book, Society of the Spectacle. Debord's theory of spectacle challenges Marxism to go beyond a focus on production to the ways in which people become disconnected objects that are identified through commodified images of self and others.
