Media Literacy
The Spectacle and Detournement

James Trier

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.
