Images of Capital: An Interview with Zachary Formwalt / $rGandesha, Samir / Hartle, Johan F. -- $tNotes -- $tIndex 330 $aThis book explores the tradition, impact, and contemporary relevance of two key ideas from Western Marxism: Georg Lukács's concept of reification, in which social aspects of humanity are viewed in objectified terms, and Guy Debord's concept of the spectacle, where the world is packaged and presented to consumers in uniquely mediated ways. Bringing the original, yet now often forgotten, theoretical contexts for these terms back to the fore, Johan Hartle and Samir Gandesha offer a new look at the importance of Western Marxism from its early days to the present moment-and reveal why Marxist cultural critique must continue to play a vital role in any serious sociological analysis of contemporary society. 606 $aReification 606 $aCommunism and culture 606 $aCommunist aesthetics 606 $aPhilosophy, Marxist 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aIdeology, Cultural Criticism, Western Marxism, Commodity, Reification, Spectacle. 615 0$aReification. 615 0$aCommunism and culture. 615 0$aCommunist aesthetics. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Marxist. 676 $a320.5315 702 $aHartle$b Johan Frederik 702 $aGandesha$b Samir$g(Samir Suresh),$f1965- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996379044303316 996 $aThe Spell of Capital$92037967 997 $aUNISA
