New Key TermsCurrent Lecture:Redefining Key TermsJameson & Debord: How does Debord view the world? Jameson and Debord have same problem with society – but different solutions.Everyday Life: The leisure moments of un-administered lifeSituations: constructed events that merge the urban the aesthetic and the political. Alienation: Making 1000 lattes, not being connected with others around, our atmosphere or ourcreations. Reification: the human impersonation of inert and inanimate machines and images “Thing-a-faction” Gives life to something that doesn’t have life. Ex IPHONECommodity Fetishism: the erroneous endowment of commodities with a magical power of theirown- getting turned on by a car. iPad attachment, separation anxiety from cell phone.
