The entire world becomes a setting for the fulfillment of publicity s promise of the good life. The world smiles at us. It offers itself to us. And because everywhere is imagined as offering itself to us, everywhere is more or less the same. Publicity can translate even revolution into its own terms.
Publicity is essentially eventless .
It extends just as far as nothing else is happening. For publicity al real events are exceptional and happen only to strangers. Publicity, situated in a future continually deferred, excludes the present and so eliminates all becoming, all development. Experience is impossible within it. All that happens, happens outside it.
