Study Of The Society Of Spectacle Critical Theory Of Debord

Since the 1940 s,electronic media began to rise in western society.With the transition of capitalist society from the production era to the consumption era,various fields of society have presented a variety of new landscapes.At this time,the monitoring of capitalism on society has reached a level that no one can imagine.Although the capitalist system has an inherent crisis,its global influence is more extensive and difficult to control than before.The emergence of new market strategies,new electronic media and new landscapes,such as controlling production,generally controls the leisure time and consumption of the public,and encroaches on space again and again.After 1967,Guy Debord grasped the new characteristics of capitalist society,became a leading theorist and the coldest enemy in the new stage of capitalism.Debord’s theory of landscape social criticism is a unique theory of social criticism aiming at the new characteristics of the development of Western capitalist society.Based on the historical background of the change of consumption behavior and the establishment and development of situationism international,Debord absorbed the thoughts and theories of Marx and Lefebvre,and put forward his unique social critical theory.The proposal of Debord’s theory of social criticism of landscape is not accidental inspiration.This paper combs the process of its theory from germination,formation and development,combined with the corresponding historical and theoretical background,and interprets the connotation of the concept of landscape and social landscape.Secondly,combined with the connotation of the two,it expounds the characteristics of the landscape society,and points out the manifestation of the landscape society in today’s society.Based on the disclosure of various landscape phenomena by Debord,this paper draws a conclusion that the visual communication function of landscape media has blurred the real world and the virtual world,and gradually dispelled the creativity and criticality of the public through the occupation of their leisure time and the construction of landscape space,creating a thorough and landscape dominated landscape world.Debord pointed out that landscape is an "epic" in which capitalism tries to impose its will on all people and things.If the continuous spread of landscape is not forced,it will never stop.Only after unified organization and strategic mobilization,the revolutionary subject can threaten and shake the worldcreated by landscape.In view of the manipulation of the landscape on the masses,Debord proposed the corresponding revolutionary strategy,intending to break the imprisonment of the landscape on the masses,but not touching the economic and political foundation behind the capitalist society,the revolution of daily life means the end of its Utopia.Debord’s critical theory of landscape society is of certain value to understand and develop Marx’s critical theory of capitalism in the context of consumer society,and it is also conducive to our understanding of the new changes in today’s capitalist society.Debords critical theory broadens the field of ideological criticism.His description of the new characteristics of consumer society,his concern and criticism of the media also provide a new research perspective for future generations.Generally speaking,Debords theory of landscape social criticism still has profound theoretical and practical significance.
