The Foreword was written for the 1992 edition published in French by Éditions Gallimard. The Preface constitutes a most important commentary and extension of The Society of the Spectacle by the author indeed it can now be considered as a bridge to Debord’s 1988 work, Comments on the Society of the Spectacle. Considering the ongoing development of state-bureaucratic methods of deception and the cultivation and indeed creation of pseudo-enemies of the global spectacle, this work has only grown in significance. The Preface to the fourth Italian edition in particular provides an excellent analysis of state sponsored terrorism and the spectacle of far-left terrorism in Italy in the 1970s. We have also included Knabb’s useful ‘ Index to Debord’s Society of the Spectacle’, which cross references names and works cited with theses and chapter epigrams. We have brought together the most recent English translations of Guy Debord’s work The Society of the Spectacle, by Ken Knabb Debord’s 1992 Foreword to the third French edition, translated by NOT BORED! and Debord’s 1979 Preface to the fourth Italian edition, originally translated by Michel Prigent and Lucy Forsyth, and edited and revised by NOT BORED!. – MOBI format You can convert these into other e-reader formats with the Calibre software.
