Write a paper in which you interpret Debord’s critique of commodity fetishism: What is the link between commodity fetishism and “the spectacle,” on Debord’s view? What is the core problem with the phenomenon of the spectacle? What does its overcoming or elimination promise to accomplish, on Debord’s view? Show your work. (You may find it helpful to frame your discussion around a brief examination of Marx’s notion of commodity fetishism.)
Your paper is to be approximately five double-spaced typed pages (or somewhat longer, if your work requires it) based on a font of Times New Roman 12. Your work is to be based exclusively on the readings assigned for this course, and your overwhelming emphasis should be on a critical examination of Debord. “Show your work” means quoting relevant textual passages, providing specific page citations from the assigned editions of the relevant texts for all the textual passages you quote, and explaining how these textual passages support your interpretive claims.
