Cinema in Revolution: Debord's Films (AGA-NEW)
Jason Smith
M 5-8, 254, 3 credits
In this class, we will analyze the films of Guy Debord. Our goal is to understand how
Debord's films represent interventions within and inflections of the theoretical, artistic
and political projects he developed over the course of his life, beginning with his
participation in the Lettrist movement, his subsequent experience with the Situationist
International, and then his post-SI work from 1972 until his death. The analysis of these
films will touch upon a range of issues, ranging from cinematic history and theory, the
history of art and avant-garde movements, and revolutionary theory and practice.
