This book explores the tradition, impact, and contemporary
relevance of two key ideas from Western Marxism: Georg Lukacs'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.
