Ces cinq enregistrements réalisés par Guy Debord couvrent une période de neuf ans qui s'étend des prémices de l'Internationale lettriste (1952-1957) à la fin de la première époque de l'Internationale situationniste (1957-1961), époque de la recherche d'un terrain artistique véritablement nouveau à partir de la réunification de la création culturelle d'avant-garde et de la critique révolutionnaire de la société. Ces documents sonores nous font entendre la voix singulière de Guy Debord, et s'il a pu dire plus tard que rien d'important ne s'est communiqué en ménageant un public, en 1953 il constatait : "Bien sûr, les auditeurs n'existent pas, c'est une illusion collective, comme Dieu quand il était à la mode."

About the author

Guy Debord

89 books842 followers
Guy Ernest Debord was a French theorist, writer, filmmaker, hypergraphist and founding member of the groups Lettrist International and Situationist International. In broad terms, Debord's theories attempted to account for the spiritually debilitating modernization of the private and public spheres of everyday life by economic forces during the post-WWII modernization of Europe. Alienation, Debord postulated, could be accounted for by the invasive forces of the 'spectacle'—"a social relation between people that is mediated by images." Central to this school of thought was the claim that alienation is more than an emotive description or an aspect of individual psychology; rather, it is a consequence of the mercantile form of social organization which has reached its climax in capitalism. Debord committed suicide, shooting himself in the heart at his property on November 30, 1994.
