Talk:Guy Debord

message: If you are going to change my general statements about Debord, you should back up your claims. "Alienation is more than a feeling." Says who? About what? "They invented new ones" - which ones, what are they? Claims that Debord got something right or worng are subjective opinions, not objective or verifiable facts. Nesbitt 05:54, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: in response to this, yes, Paris in his earlier life.  I've tried reorganising, but there may be a better solution.  More detail on his life is obviously needed Gwaka Lumpa 11:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I think we could do with some stuff on his alleged role in the Lebovici murder.  I'm aware that the allegations don't stand up for a second, but they were made and are still repeated.  Could serve to help set the record straight, if nothing else.FrFintonStack 04:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lebovici

message: I just read the article, and it's full of problems.  It is anachronistic to suggest the Lettrists were 'proto-punks' - they were a typical European avant-garde art group.  The founder, Isidore Isou, needs to be mentioned.  Isou founded the Lettrist Movement.  Debord led a breakaway group, the Lettrist International, which alienated Isou by publishing attacks on Charlie Chaplin and disrupting Easter mass at Notre Dame.  The SI was formed from members of the LI, not the LM.  The artist Asger Jorn, who largely funded the SI, should be mentioned - as well as Debord's two wives, both gifted writers, Michelle Bernstein and Alice Becker Ho.
It's a wild over-statement to suggest the SI was a major catalyst for May 68.  What is correct is that SI slogans and pamphlets were passed around, and Debord entered the occupied Sorbonne to participate in directing the protests.  The claim that his later work was "pessimistic" is inadequate - all his work is garbed in melancholy and nostalgia, and yet at the same time he never gives up on revolutionary change - unlike, for example, his contemporary Baudrillard.
absolutely agree with this:

thread_title: Sorry, but it's a mess

message: What's the source of the claim Debord was a "hypergraphist"?
To me the term sounds like a Lettrist solecism, which Debord wouldn't have liked applied to him.  I think the SI and LI terminology should be confined to their respective articles.
: Never heard of Guy Debord beeing a "hypergraphist". Sources or references are greatly needed. Chaica 10:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It seems to be some obscure exercise in which the LI briefly indulged; I'd argue delete from the first sentence because it's just not notable.  No biography of Debord (in English, anyway) mentions it.KD Tries Again 19:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: 'Le Jeu de la Guerre' has been published in English (Amazon Link). Since this is an English article shouldn't reference 3 should be updated to link to this instead?

thread_title:  A Game of War 

message: Altho Debord bases his theories on one or two elements of Marx, is there any reason to say he was a marxist? He is not generally referred to as such in France, and the usual sense would be "supporter of the theories of Marx"83.200.19.70 (talk) 04:48, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

message: When did he die? Where? How? Strange that this is left off. On the page about the book (Society of the Spectacle) it is mentioned that he committed suicide.05:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
