Guy Debord was born in Paris on December 28, 1931. In 1950 Debord began his association with the Lettrist International, which was being led by Isidore Isou at the time. The Lettrists were attempting to fuse poetry and music, and were interested in transforming the urban landscape. In 1953 they mapped out what they called the “psychogeography” of Paris by walking through the city in a free-associative manner, or “drifts”. Texts on this activity were first published in Naked Lips in 1955 and 1956, in essays titled “Detournement: How to Use” and “Theory of the Derive.”
