Spectacle and Topophilia by David R Castillo

This volume explores the intersection between theories of the modern spectacle--from Jose Antonio Maravall's conceptualization of the spectacular culture of the baroque to the Frankfurt School's theorization of mass culture, to Baudrillard's notion of the simulacrum, to Guy Debord's understanding of the society of the spectacle--and the findings of the emerging fields of urban studies, landscape studies, and, generally speaking, studies of space.

David R. Castillo is Professor and Chair of the Department of Romance Languages and Literature's at the University at Buffalo.
