It is one of two influential books, the other being Guy Debords The Society of the Spectacle, published by the Situationist International just months before the May 1968 upheavals in France.

In this article, I examine how the practical and aesthetic issues arising from this ambiguity forced the Barrons to confront in their score a complex of intertwined musical and cultural messages: how electronic music evokes notions of the exotic Other how conceptions of vocality and embodiment in their music intersect with other visual and narrative elements to illuminate a gendered divide among envoiced bodies in the film and how music in the film evolves to illustrate and posit a threat to the male body and, thus, masculinity itself-only in order, ultimately, to restore and reassert conventional patriarchy and the primacy of male subjectivity. His Traite de savoir-vivre a lusage des jeunes generations, known in English translation as The Revolution of Everyday Life, was written during the Cold War in 1963-65.

This double function of their “electronic tonalities,” however, engendered a strange ambiguity in the film's sonic ontology. While sounds lacking real-world referents were crucial for representing sonically the nature of fantastic objects and beings, Louis and Bebe Barron's soundscape also had to serve the more conventional musical demands of narrative cinema where music sets mood and atmosphere and creates the illusion of character subjectivity. As the first Hollywood film to employ an all-electronic score, Forbidden Planet (1956) helped cement the association of science-fiction films with electronically produced sounds and music.
