The Archive of Guy Debord

The Archive of Guy Debord preserves the works, documents, and materials of the influential French thinker and filmmaker Guy Debord (1931–1994).

His most famous work, "The Society of the Spectacle," critiques how media and advertising shape perceptions, creating a superficial reality. The archive serves as a resource for researchers and scholars interested in Debord’s ideas on society, culture, and revolutionary theory, offering insight into his contributions to critical thought and modern social critique.
