Alienation and the Carnivalization of Society: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought

Editat de Jerome Braun, Lauren Langman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 sep 2011
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.
