  4. 3. ”The shrieking of nothing is killing me” : Representations of society of the spectacle and hyperreality in David Bowie’s lyrics

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap

    Author : Mariann Gabrielsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This text explores how the lyrics of David Bowie can be applied as supporting the critique against hyperreality and society of the spectacle, as articulated by Guy Debord and Jean Baudrillard. This is done by focusing on three questions: 1) what elements in Bowie’s lyrics support Debord and Baudrillard, 2) how can these elements function to portray Bowie as primarily a sociologist and secondly an artist, and 3) what are the benefits of using fiction (in this case lyrics) as empirical material? From a theoretical framework building on Debord’s society of the spectacle and Baudrillard’s focus on hyperreality, I will apply a two-folded methodology of sociology through literature and socio-poetics.

    Keywords : Social Movements; Global Norms; Norm Entrepreneurs; Everyday Utopias; Prefiguration;

    Abstract : This thesis argues that contemporary climate justice actions can present a case for how social movements and activists engage as norm entrepreneurs with global politics. Following a case-based approach (McKee, 2003) and combining perspectives of political science with anthropology, theoretical concepts of everyday utopias (Cooper, 2014) and prefiguration (Maeckelbergh, 2011b; 2014) are applied to the case of a village occupation in Germany against a lignite coal mine expansion.
