Abstract
Guy Ernest Debord was a self‐described filmmaker, agitator, activist, author, artist, and the most famous member of avant‐garde movements Lettrism International and Situationist International (SI). Together with the rest of the Situationists, he was involved in – and to a certain degree influenced – the May 1968 rebellion in France. In theoretical terms he was part of the poststructuralist Marxist trend of the 1960s and was engaged in an aesthetic‐oriented direct action activism until the early 1970s, when he abandoned such activities “for the construction of situations.” Debord co‐edited the Journal Internationale Situationiste , to which he contributed eight articles, and is the author of numerous pamphlets, books, and articles written between 1952 and 1994. His most famous and comprehensive book is The Society of the Spectacle (1967), upon which his 1973 film of the same title is based.
