{"product_id":"guy-debord-anselm-jappe-9781629634494","title":"Guy Debord","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first and best intellectual biography of Guy Debord, prime mover of the Situationist International (1957-1972) and author of \u003cem\u003eThe Society of the Spectacle\u003c\/em\u003e, perhaps the seminal book of the May 1968 uprising in France. Anselm Jappe offers a powerful corrective to the continual attempts to incorporate Debord's theoretical work into \"French theory.\" Jappe's focus, to the contrary, is on Debord's debt to the Hegelian-Marxist tradition, to Karl Korsch and Georg Luk當s, and more generally to left-Marxist currents of council communism. His close reading of Debord's magnum opus supplies a superb gloss that has never been rivaled despite the great flood of writing on the Situationists in recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the same time, Debord is placed squarely in context among the Letterist and Situationist anti-artists who, in the aftermath of World War II, sought to criticize and transcend the legacy of Dada and Surrealism. Jappe's book offers a lively account of the Situationists' theory and practice as this \"last avant-garde\" made its way from radical bohemianism to revolutionary theory and action. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGuy Debord\u003c\/em\u003e has been translated into many languages.
