Guy Debord Quotes

Stars - Spectacular Representations Of Living Human Beings - Project This General Banality Into Images Of Permitted Roles. As Specialists Of Apparent Life, Stars Serve As Superficial Objects That People Can Identify With In Order To Compensate For The Fragmented Productive Specializations That They Actually Live. The Function Of These Celebrities Is To Act Out Various Lifestyles Or Sociopolitical Viewpoints In A Full, Totally Free Manner. They Embody The Inaccessible Results Of Social Labor By Dramatizing The By-products Of That Labor Which Are Magically Projected Above It As Its Ultimate Goals: Power And Vacations - The Decisionmaking And Consumption That Are At The Beginning And The End Of A Process That Is Never Questioned. On One Hand, A Governmental Power May Personalize Itself As A Pseudostar; On The Other, A Star Of Consumption May Campaign For Recognition As A Pseudopower Over Life. But The Activities Of These Stars Are Not Really Free, And They Offer No Real Choices.
