Spectacle 2.0 recasts Debord's theory of spectacle within the frame of 21st century digital capitalism. It offers a reassessment of Debord’s original notion of Spectacle from the late 1960s, of its posterior revisitation in the 1990s, and it presents a reinterpretation of the concept within the scenario of contemporary informational capitalism and more specifically of digital and media labour. It is argued that the Spectacle 2.0 form operates as the interactive network that links through one singular (but contradictory) language and various imaginaries, uniting diverse productive contexts such as logistics, finance, new media and urbanism. Spectacle 2.0 thus colonizes most spheres of social life by processes of commodification, exploitation and reification. Diverse contributors consider the topic within the book’s two main sections: Part I conceptualizes and historicizes the Spectacle in the context of informational capitalism; contributions in Part II offer empirical cases that historicise the Spectacle in relation to the present (and recent past) showing how a Spectacle 2.0 approach can illuminate and deconstruct specific aspects of contemporary social reality. All contributions included in this book rework the category of the Spectacle to present a stimulating compendium of theoretical critical literature in the fields of media and labour studies. In the era of the gig-economy, highly mediated content and President Trump, Debord’s concept is arguably more relevant than ever.

This multidisciplinary book analyses the contradictory coexistence of consumerism and environmentalism in contemporary Japan. It focuses on the dilemma that the diffusion of the concepts of sustainability and recycling has posed for everyday consumption practices, and on how these concepts have affected, and were affected by, the production and consumption of art. Special attention is paid to the changes in consumption practices and environmental consciousness among the Japanese public that have occurred since the 1990s and in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters of March 2011.

Un ouvrage collectif, initié et dirigé par Eva Illouz, qui montre comment émotions et marchandises sont désormais coproduites. Créées par des industries aussi diverses que celles du tourisme, de la musique, du cinéma, du sexe ou des psychothérapies, elles entendent transformer et améliorer le moi. Une réflexion fondamentale qui jette une lumière éclatante sur nos modes de vie.De la détente proposée par le Club Med aux cartes sexuelles distribuées dans les rues de Tel Aviv, des techniques de psychologie positive aux films d'horreur, la consommation et les émotions s'intriquent désormais au point de se définir mutuellement. C'est là un trait fondamental, et pourtant jusqu'alors jamais étudié, de notre modernité. Une modernité qui fait de l'individu un être à la fois fondamentalement rationnel et soumis à une intensification sans précédent de ses émotions. Ce paradoxe est rendu possible par le fait que les émotions et les marchandises sont désormais coproduites, jusqu'à générer un type de produits tout à fait inédit et jusqu'à présent jamais étudié : les marchandises émotionnelles. Cet ouvrage collectif, initié et dirigé par Eva Illouz, montre brillamment comment ces nouvelles marchandises – produites par des industries aussi diverses que celles du tourisme, de la musique, du cinéma, du sexe ou des psychothérapies – entendent transformer et améliorer le moi. Il met ainsi le doigt sur une caractéristique majeure de nos sociétés, interrogeant avec profondeur – en se gardant de tout jugement – l'authenticité de l'individu moderne. Une réflexion fondamentale, qui ouvre un nouveau champ de recherches et jette une lumière éclatante sur nos modes de vie.
