A Sociedade do Espetáculo

The Das Kapital of the 20th century. An essential text & the main theoretical work of the situationists. Few works of political & cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative. From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960's up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism & everyday life in the late 20th century. This is the original translation by Fredy Perlman, kept in print continuously for the last 40 years, keeping the flame alive when no-one else cared.
Separation perfected
The commodity as spectacle
Unity & division within appearance
The proletariat as subject & representation
Time & history
Spectacular time
The organization of territory
Negation & consumption within culture
Ideology materialized
