Goodness...what IS a spectacle anyway? As I read this article the word "spectacle" showed up countless times in nearly every other sentence. This was distracting. This quote stood out to the me in the beginning. "The spectacle is not a collection of images; it is a social relation between people that is mediated by images. " This means the spectacle is not an object nor the meaning of an object, it is what an object makes of itself. How people react to something. "...goals are nothing, development is everything." This agrees with the previous statement. The spectacle is the development of the goal, what it takes to reach the absolute. What it takes to reach the finished product. Since it isn't a physical object/idea, it can't be the goal. --Very complex. It's like everything comes to be, because of things that yet aren't, but things don't just appear they must first go through an undefined and unofficial "process" TO be which isn't a thing. Haha. Brain hurts. Bed time.
