Spectacle
In general spectacle refers to an event that is memorable for the appearance it creates. While some literary critics and philosophers in the 20th century have offered a theory of "the spectacle" as a mode by which capitalism subordinates everyday experience (see, for example, Situationalism), the term "spectacle" has also been a term of art in theater dating from the 17th century in English drama.
