A Benjamin Monad of Guy Debord & W.D. Howells’s The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885) ; or, Individual & Collective Life & Status as Spectacle
View through CrossRef
The present piece actualizes Walter Benjamin’s theory of the monad where the past and the present create concentrates of history beyond any kind of artistic intentionality ; in so doing, Guy Debord’s radical-left theories about ‘The Society of the Spectacle’ will in this article be mapped on to William Dean Howell’s midstyle 1885 novel work, The Rise of Silas Lapham, to cross-illuminate both Debord and Howells ; Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory will also play a role in the present critical apparatus.
