Description

This critical examination explores alienation through sociological and psychoanalytic lenses, building on foundational work by Marx, Simmel, and Weber whilst contextualising these ideas within post-modern consumer society. The book investigates how escapism operates in contemporary culture - both as a mechanism exploited by commercial interests and as a genuine form of resistance employed by individuals and communities against alienation. By bridging classical social theory with modern consumer culture analysis, it offers readers a comprehensive framework for understanding how alienation manifests and persists in today's commercialised world, and how people navigate, resist, and sometimes inadvertently reinforce these patterns through their everyday choices and cultural participation.

Key Features

Examines alienation from dual sociological and psychoanalytic perspectives, combining theoretical approaches for deeper cultural analysis.

Revisits classical treatments of alienation by Marx, Simmel, and Weber, grounding modern analysis in established social theory.

Analyses escapism in post-modern consumer society, exploring both commercial exploitation and individual resistance strategies.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series, providing scholarly rigour and academic credibility.

Explores how groups and individuals use escapism as a form of resisting alienation within contemporary commercial culture.
