In Debord, Time and Spectacle Tom Bunyard provides a detailed philosophical study of the theoretical work of Guy Debord and the Situationist International. Drawing on evidence from Debord's books, films, letters and notes, Bunyard reconstructs the Hegelian and Marxian ideas that support Debord's central concept of 'spectacle'. This affords a reconsideration of Debord's theoretical claims, and a reinterpretation of his broader work that foregrounds his concerns with history and lived time.
“Tom Bunyard’s wide-ranging monograph convincingly casts Debord as ‘a twentieth-century Young Hegelian’ and, through the influence of the young Marx and Lukács, as a thinker of historical praxis.”
—Eric-John Russell, Radical Philosophy
“Bunyard’s Debord, Time and Spectacle is an impressive contribution to the project of understanding and reconstructing the intellectual context of Debord’s critique of ‘the society of the spectacle’.”
—Anthony Paul Hayes, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
