/lit/ - Literature

Old fashioned red and blue 3D glasses looked a lot cooler than they gay ass sunglasses we have now.

Debord is /ourguy/

anyone else?

Read Debord's Comments on the Society of the Spectacle when you're done

>>10370471
i read his comments book before reading society of the spectacle

picked it up at the store. Haven't read it yet.
It has a catchy name and a good cover, lit seems to like it when its mentioned. Seems to have a novelty format that I will either love or hate.

>>10370472
How can you understand commentary on something you haven't read.
Understanding things in retrospect is a waste of time.

>>10370475
once you actually read society of the spectacle and read the comments you will understand why i started with the comments

>>10370310
love it

>>10370310
Fuck debord, I remember becoming unable to fucking enjoy kpop after reading this shit
All I could see is soulless music and slave "artists"

Wtf I hate spectacle now!

I regret reading it, just pick up McLuhan and Baudrillard instead.

>>10370310
Basically a marxist describing what /pol/ calls cultural marxism

Vaneigem>Debord

>>10371056
good.
kpop is trash

>>10371056
It took you a fucking book to realise that kpop is trash? What's your iq? Less than 90, right?

>>10371056
>>10371151
Kpop is for fapping and nothing else.

>>10371056
>he had to have someone else make his opinion of shitty pop music for him

>>10371210
>watching kpop for women and not androgynous men

>>10371070

You guys are not welcomed on /mu/

>>10370310
His commentary on it are better

>>10371074
hwo come

>>10371151
I'm really interested in this book, what, if any, previous knowledge of philosophy or other fields are necessary before I read it?

>>10371269
None, its not even philosophy just entry level cultural criticism

>>10371269
just read up on May 1968 and Situationism
Adorno's The Culture Industry is essential too

>>10371269
heidegger, mcluhan?

>>10371269
Not really, just have a basic understanding of marxism (Marx's commodity fetishism section to be precise)

>>10371276
>Marx's commodity fetishism section

Ah yes, the famous commodity fetishism "section" of Marx

Marxist discovers Marx was a social conservative: the book.

>>10371278
>Capital vol.1, chapter 1; section 4 - The Fetishism of Commodities and the Secret Thereof
It's only 20 pages or so anon

>>10371056
>i need someone to tell me kpop is shit

>>10371056
Adorno made me hate jazz.

>>10371056
damn thats so deep...

>>10371348
kek

>>10371278
It is quite literary covered in the last section of the first chapter of the first part of Volume 1 of Das Kapital though.

i watched the first twenty minutes of the documentary and thought it was good but i was also falling asleep, might read the book sometime

>>10371610
I found the book easier than the movie.

>>10371278
lmfao

>>10371263
Vaneigem is more life affirming than Debord, which rub some people better than endless repetitions of Hegel or Feuerbach but with two different words and preceded / followed by similar stuff.

not me though I fucking love Debord

>>10371257
Yea okay like that is some high bar

>>10371655
life affirming is such a huge buzzword, i automatically think of someone as a 4chan autist internet kid when they use that word

>>10371056
You should be grateful, gookshit is awful

>>10371151
legit I love that "Like Like" song

>>10371056
>kpop
why do people enjoy that shit anyway

Detour them bitches anons. The capital turned to an image/meme.

>>10372125

come back after you learn what your slurs mean
a long, long time after

>>10371056
>watching kpop for the "music"
Even roasties don't do this

fine for teen years

but philosophically lazy

quite irrelevant, just listen to angry music or something

>>10371348
Adorno made me hate Adorno.

>>10375293
>>10375293

Adorno and Nietzsche are part of a lonely group of philosophers whose writing and its formal qualities matches its content.

>>10370310
One of the greatest book ever written about cultural liberalism. Baudrillard’s work on simulacras and hyperreality is also remarkable.

>>10370310

It will make you understand the meme era

It was written by a university student in the time of an economic boom, so it necessarily neglects the producer under capitalism. It is spot on regarding the consumer though.

Made me delete my instagram desu

>>10375049
do u even know what a roastie is?

>>10371275
Heidegger to read Debord, wtf?
Just know a bit of Marx breh.

>>10371278
>>10371299
It's a pretty famous section and pretty much the only place he discusses it (the surviving remnants of young humanist Marx in the later work). brainlet
