Summary note
"Guy Debord (1931-1994) was one of the foremost intellectual revolutionaries of the twentieth century. Urban critic and filmmaker, adventurer and activist extraordinaire, especially during the May '68 uprisings in Paris, he was simultaneously behind and ahead of his times, conceiving theories on democracy, people and political power that are as fresh and subversive today as they ever were. He is best known as guru of an avant-garde revolutionary movement, the Situationist International (1957-72), and for his indictment of post-war capitalist consumerism, The Society of Spectacle (1967). Master urban tactician in the 1950s, political muckraker, organizer and theorist during the 1960s, and vagabond throughout the 1970s in Spain and Italy, in the 1980s and early '90s he lived as a recluse in an isolated farmhouse behind a high stone wall in the Auvergne." "Debord's work, and his elusive and enigmatic life, continue to inspire thinkers and activists everywhere. In this account Andy Merrifield casts fresh light on a free spirit who was radically at odds with the world but at the same time loved many things in it, and thought them well worth fighting for."--Jacket.
