Abstract

This paper discusses the origins and developments of a spectacular society since the post-war era, when mass media is expanding into the visual world of daily life, giving birth to a new way to organize the society around the notion of consumption and reduce into the representation of an immense spectacle. From the analysis of theories concerning consumption and spectacle, a new form of contemplation can be discovered in the contemporary society, which can be identified as “self-contemplation”.
