- More about Guy Debord’s Politics of Communication: Liberating Language from Power
This book explores Guy Debord's politics of communication and his search for critical communication strategies to undermine the hierarchical, monological language of the spectacle. It traces his early activities in anti-aesthetic terrorism and his advocacy of forms of horizontal communication between autonomous revolutionary groups or individuals using native language. Matthews ultimately finds that Debord relied on the power of the negative to speak the ironic language of contradiction, of critical theory, and of the incommunicable.

Guy Debord's politics of communication and its efforts to undermine the hierarchical and monological language of the spectacle are explored in this book, which draws on published works and personal correspondences from 1948-1994. Matthews traces Debord's search for critical communication strategies that could subvert the reified "language of manufacturing" from his early activities in anti-aesthetic terrorism (e.g., the neo-poem, metagraphics, and détournement) to advocating forms of horizontal communication between autonomous revolutionary groups or individuals using native language. Ultimately, Matthews finds that Debord relied on the power of the negative to speak the ironic language of contradiction, of critical theory, and of the incommunicable to critique the language of the spectacle.
