The thesis discusses the avant-garde political and artistic group The Situationist International and analyses their subversive art method détournement in the films of Guy Debord through four elements: use of different citations, use of female body, use of different films and use of montage. Comparison of everyday life critique in Debord’s films with the everyday life critique in Jacques Tati's film My Uncle (Mon oncle, 1958), a contemporary of the Situationists, and analysis of Debord’s films and its effect on the viewer through Rancière’s concept of the Ignorant Schoolmaster.
