Alienation and the Carnivalization of Society (Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought, 73, Band 73) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines alienation from both a sociological and psychoanalytic perspective, revisiting classic treatments of the topic (Marx, Simmel, Weber) and exploring its relevance to understanding post-modern consumer society. It examines the escapist potentials for good and for ill in modern society - those fostered by commercial interests, and those maintained by individuals and groups as their form of resisting alienation.
