Today we’ll finish our discussion of Debord on time and history. Last week we finished reading chapter 5, “Time and History,” and today we can discuss chapter 6, “Spectacular Time.”

Then we can return to reading chapter 1 of capital to develop a clear understanding of Marx’s critique of the commodity form.

Also, we’ll discuss any interest in responding to the CFP for the Intelligent Idealisms conference; the deadline is February 15.
