  • (1 other version)One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society.Herbert Marcuse - 1964 - Routledge.
    In his most seminal book, Herbert Marcuse sharply objects to what he saw as pervasive one-dimensional thinking-the uncritical and conformist acceptance of existing structures, norms and behaviours. Originally published in 1964, One Dimensional Man quickly became one of the most important texts in the politically radical sixties. Marcuse's searing indictment of Western society remains as chillingly relevant today as it was at its first writing.

  • Governmentality: Power and Rule in Modern Society.Mitchell Dean - 1999 - SAGE Publications.
    Lucid, timely and shrewd, this book makes a major contribution to understanding a concept that is belatedly being recognized as a core concept in the social sciences, governmentality. By looking at the work of Foucault, this book aims to reclaim governmentality as a central concept in sociology, asking what is governmentality and how are individuals and cultures organised in modern society? Dean seeks to learn from Foucault, but also draws on wider analytical frameworks and traditions to provide the first complete (...)

  • The citizen-consumer hybrid: ideological tensions and the case of Whole Foods Market. [REVIEW]Josée Johnston - 2008 - Theory and Society 37 (3):229-270.
    Ethical consumer discourse is organized around the idea that shopping, and particularly food shopping, is a way to create progressive social change. A key component of this discourse is the “citizen-consumer” hybrid, found in both activist and academic writing on ethical consumption. The hybrid concept implies a social practice – “voting with your dollar” – that can satisfy competing ideologies of consumerism (an idea rooted in individual self-interest) and citizenship (an ideal rooted in collective responsibility to a social and ecological (...)

  • Manipulating Needs: Capitalism and Culture.Conrad Lodziak - 1995 - Pluto Press (UK).
    The author of this book postulates that, although ideology does have its place, socialism in the advanced capitalist societies is dependent on the development of a culture of opposition that provides resources for meeting identity needs. By drawing on the works of Marcuse, Seve, Gorz and Habermas, Lebziak offers an accessible and powerful rendition of the manipulation of needs thesis - the major rival to the dominant ideological thesis.
