Globalisation, Culture and Lifestyle Seminar Nine: The Culture Industry
Key Lessons From The Lecture Post-Fordist means of production creates an illusion of choice in a world of limited freedom designed to deliver profit Capitalism uses culture as a means of propagating the social systems necessary for its continued operation and controlling the masses Frankfurt School took a neo-Marxist approach Culture contains repeated messages to reinforce the status quo Predictability and spectacle to create cultural dupes.
Discussion Topic Drawing upon the work of the Frankfurt School critically debate the notion of culture as an industry Culture hides behind the message that it is organised around the motives of business (Miles, 2001). Critically discuss this idea in relation to your industry Drawing upon relevant theory critically discuss the argument that to assume that we are all cultural dupes is an elitist and modernist notion.
