In the first half of the twentieth century, Theodor Adorno wrote about the ‘culture industry’. For Adorno, culture too along with the products of factory labour was increasingly becoming a commodity. Now, in what they call the ‘global culture industry’, Scott Lash and Celia Lury argue that Adorno’s worst nightmares have come true.
Their new book tells the compelling story of how material objects such as watches and sportswear have become powerful cultural symbols, and how the production of symbols, in the form of globally recognized brands, has now become a central goal of capitalism. Global Culture Industry provides an empirically and theoretically rich examination of the ways in which these objects - from Nike shoes to Toy Story, from global football to conceptual art - metamorphose and move across national borders.
This book is set to become a dialectic of enlightenment for the age of globalization. It will be essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences.

評分記得曾經看過一組數據,1914年前美國大部分的電影還有拍攝技術還依靠進口,1915年到1916年,美國影片齣口增長近5倍;而美國影片進口則從一戰前的1韆6百萬英尺下降到20年代中期的7百萬英尺。到瞭1939年,美國商業部估計,美國占據瞭全球約65%的電影製片産量。隨著美國經濟的不斷...
