false 303770 1 Guy Debord was one of the founders of the situationist movement of the 1960s; his <I>Society of the Spectacle</I> has become an indispensable text for anyone seeking to understand the pop culture of global capitalism. But despite the fame and notoriety he accrued during the Paris street revolution of 1968, he did his best to escape the burden of celebrity, refusing all interviews, publishing very little, and spending most of his time in bars. ("I wrote much less than most people who write," he once conceded, "but I drank much more than most people who drink.") Len Bracken copes with the dearth of biographical information by focusing primarily on Debord's writings and "anti-films" and his relationship to France's political and philosophical avant-garde. Numerous photographs identify key figures for the reader and give a sense of the turmoil of the '68 riots. This is an interesting historical supplement to, but not a substitute for, reading Debord's work. 294806 7 1997 Guy Debord: Revolutionary total:19|4:8|3:9|2:2| 19 63 22 3 3 0 false false Sat Sep 15 09:14:33 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 19 19:51:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 19 21:18:02 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 21:23:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 true false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Mon Jan 28 14:45:14 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 02 10:54:43 -0700 2009 2 Guy Debord.
