Building on our weeks 3 & 4 discussion of Debord’s idea of spectacles, explain the citation below to somebody who knows nothing about media theories. Your response must address this question: what are spectacles and why are we not part of them (why are we just passive spectators)?
Also, explain how is this idea related to Marx’ commodity fetishism?
Advice: you might want to build your response on an example of spectacle, as Debord understands it.
“People, as spectators, are not part of these contemporary spectacles (…). People watch them because they are alluring, but the spectacles are put on for them; people are not integral part of them” (Ritzer, p. 92)
