Theory of Spectacle

 Guy Debord 

Theory of Spectacle 1967


Spectacle was his form for the mass media and consumerism as a whole. Mass media was a spectacle designed to distract.


Characteristic of Post Modernism in Family Guy owned by Disney S19 E15: 

- Fragmented Narrative --> Grenade explosion part

- Loss of reality (surreal) --> when the scorpio get inside to one of the character and it suddenly change that character behaviour and eyes become purely white. 

- Bricolage --> siren sound 


Counter culture --> anti mainstream 


Commodification of culture--> where art and culture become commodities to be consumed rather than authentic expression of human creativity.

Spectacle --> where images and representation of reality take precedence over authentic experiences. tThis lead to a superficial and alienating culture.
