  • @Exploring the Situationists is an ongoing series of Zoom sessions where I (Ken Knabb) comment on various situationist texts, followed by Q&A and discussion. The sessions are being recorded and posted on RUclips. From September 2023 to January 2024 we went through the "Situationist International Anthology: Revised and Expanded Edition" (10 sessions). Following a short break, we have resumed with Guy Debord's "The Society of the Spectacle." We are are doing a close reading of my annotated translation of the book, and it will probably take us around 12-15 sessions to get through it (after which we will view and discuss Debord's film of the same title).
    Participation is free. If you're interested in joining the live sessions (which take place every other Sunday, 5:00-7:00pm Pacific Time) please contact me at knabb AT bopsecrets DOT org
    During this session #4 (May 5, 2024) we read and discussed most of Chapter 3.
    The text of the book can also be found online at www.bopsecrets...

    The act of negating the negation of our lives is connected to a kind of animal desire to be free from spending our lives producing stuff we don't really need. The Spectacle is the attempt to keep us consuming our lives away buying commodities, the products of our labour which we don't need. What we need is to expand disposable time in connection with reducing the time necessary to produce food and shelter. The expansion of disposable time can only be the result of the desires of the immense majority.
