what is the best way to approach it? it seems really interesting but I got confused pretty quick reading it. tried to get quick grasp on it with videos but most were shit. I think there was a same-titled movie as well?? if so, is it any good?
I hope that this is the right community to ask this question
Surprised no one mentioned it, but he did come out almost immediately with Comments on Society of the Spectacle which is more structured and less a collection of theses.
I skipped recc'ing it just because it gets kinda bleak
I mean, if you're reading situationalist literature in the 21st century you're gonna have to be prepared for that.
I just meant like the "the spectacle is too entrenched, revolution is impossible" thing he gets on.
awesome, thank you so much! this will really nicely complement the Situationist writings + the book&film. it sounds like it's a bit more accessible in that case, based on your description :)
It's good to read in parallel because he references SotS chapters
