Translation
Guy Debord - Rewriting of Marxism replacing the commodity with the image.
Debord was an alcoholic who committed suicide in 1994.
He still belived in a real self and truth are accessible c.f Baudrillard
(perhaps this is source of his melancholy and escapism)
Encouraged 'Derive' as a response to the separation engendered by society of the spectacle
He redesigned it from that of the surrealists/Baudlaire as a political act
