{"product_id":"guy-debord-andy-merrifield-9781861892614","title":"Guy Debord","description":"Though well-known for his founding of the avant-garde Situationist International movement and his prominent political and cultural activism, Guy Debord was nonetheless a surprisingly elusive and enigmatic figure, spending his last years in an isolated farmhouse in Champot, France. Andy Merrifield's \u003ci\u003eGuy Debord\u003c\/i\u003e pushes back the farmhouse shutters and opens a window onto Debord's life, theory, and art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMerrifield explores the dynamics of Debord's ideas and works, including the groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eHowls for Sade\u003c\/i\u003e and his 1967 classic, \u003ci\u003eThe Society of the Spectacle\u003c\/i\u003e. Debord understood life as art, Merrifield argues, and through that lens he chronicles Debord's stint as a revolutionary leader in the 1950s and 1960s, his time in Spain and Italy during the 1970s and the reclusive years leading up to his death in 1994. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDada and Surrealism's legacy and punk rock's god, Guy Debord spun theories on democracy, people, and political power that still resonate today, making Merrifield's concise yet comprehensive study an invaluable resource on one of the foremost intellectual revolutionaries of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Merrifield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861892616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861892614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.82h x 6.98w x 0.42d","brand":"Andy Merrifield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659519832319,"sku":"9781861892614","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/guy-debord-andy-merrifield-9781861892614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
