- Le spectacle se présente à la fois comme la société même, comme une partie de la société, et comme instrument d’unification. En tant que partie de la société, il est **expressément** le secteur qui concentre tout regard et toute conscience. Du fait même que ce secteur est séparé, il est le lieu du regard abusé et de la fausse conscience ; et l’unification qu’il accomplit n’est rien d’autre qu’un langage officiel de la séparation généralisée.
  The spectacle presents itself simultaneously as society itself, as a part of society, and as a means of unification. As a part of society, it is the focal point of all vision and all consciousness. But due to the very fact that this sector is separate, it is in reality the domain of delusion and false consciousness: the unification it achieves is nothing but an official language of universal separation.
