Drawing on published works as well as personal correspondences written between 1948-1994, this book conceptualizes Guy Debord's politics of communication and how it sought to undermine the hierarchical, monological language of the spectacle. Matthews traces Debord’s search for critical communication strategies that could subvert the reified “language of manufacturing” from the philosopher’s early activities in anti-aesthetic 'terrorism' (e.g., the neo-poem, metagraphics, and détournement) ...

These are the bees on which Dr. Watts so beautifully fixed t...

I suppose the impulse to write this book dates back to my shame and anger in India when men and women of my own race extolled suttee, and the amazement with which I first saw the memorials of Hindu kings, with the sati’s couching forms.But the impulse was slight, and would have slept but for a publisher’s interest.
