The Spectacle and "Detournement"
Trier, James
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v51 n3 p274-278 Nov 2007
This Media Literacy column is a follow-up to the column in the September 2007 issue that discussed Guy Debord and the artistic, political avant-garde organization called the Situationist International. This column continues the discussion of the situationist concepts of the spectacle and "detournement" by explaining quick and easy ways to introduce these sophisticated concepts to middle school or high school students by showing selected YouTube.com videos.
