Guy Debord and the Situationists
 
 
 




The revolution--hélas--will be televised. Guy Debord was an acute thinker and social critic as well as impossibly French. He unfortunately spent more time deciding who to kick out of his tree fort than actually writing, but what he wrote still retains the ability to capture the imagination. It is no accident that phrases taken from the Situationists became graffiti slogans during the 1968 uprising in Paris.
