«La sociedad del espectáculo» is Guy Debord's essay, published by Editorial Pre-Textos in paperback (180 pages, in Spanish).
In this classic 1967 text, Debord analyzes how modern social life is reduced to representation and consumption of images: the spectacle is not a set of media, but a worldview that permeates human relations and economic production. The commodity appears as an «ilusión efectivamente real» and the spectacle, as its general manifestation, in a radical critique of contemporary alienation.
Spanish edition translated from French by José Luis Pardo. The original, «La Société du spectacle», dates from 1967. Number 392 in Pre-Textos' «Ensayo» collection.
Suitable for readers of philosophy, critical theory and cultural studies who want to approach Situationist thought and one of the reference works on mass society.
