Summary:
Members of the Frankfurt School have had an enormous effect on Western thought, beginning soon after Max Horkheimer became the director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt am Main in 1930.

Summary:
Members of the Frankfurt School have had an enormous effect on Western thought, beginning soon after Max Horkheimer became the director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt am Main in 1930. Also known as the Horkheimer Circle, the group included such eminent intellectuals as Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, Leo Lowenthal, and Friedrich Pollock. Fleeing Nazi oppression, Horkheimer moved the Institute and many of its affiliated scholars to Columbia University in 1934, where it remained until 1950. Until now, the conventional portrayal of the Institute has held that its members found refuge by relocating to Columbia but that they had little contact with, or impact on, American intellectual life. With insight and clarity, Thomas Wheatland demonstrates that the standard account is wrong. Based on deep archival research in Germany and in the United States, and on interviews conducted with luminaries such as Daniel Bell, Bernadine Dohrn, Peter Gay, Todd Gitlin, Nathan Glazer, Tom Hayden, Robert Merton, and others, Wheatland skillfully traces the profound connections between the Horkheimer Circle’s members and the intellectual life of the era. Reassessing the group’s involvement with the American New Left in the 1960s, he argues that Herbert Marcuse’s role was misunderstood in shaping the radical student movement’s agenda. More broadly, he illustrates how the Circle influenced American social thought and made an even more dramatic impression on German postwar sociology. Although much has been written about the Frankfurt School, this is the first book to closely examine the relationship between its members and their American contemporaries. The Frankfurt School in Exile uncovers an important but neglected dimension of the history of the Frankfurt School and adds immeasurably to our understanding of the contributions made by its émigrés to postwar intellectual life.

Summary:
This is the devastating book which first established Marshall McLuhan’s reputation as the foremost critic of modern mass communications. The Mechanical Bride is vintage McLuhan — so aptly illustrated by dozens of examples from ads, comic strips, columnists, etc., that those who were stung by McLuhan were hard put for rebuttals. It shows how sex was first used to sell(...)

The Mechanical Bride is vintage McLuhan — so aptly illustrated by dozens of examples from ads, comic strips, columnists, etc., that those who were stung by McLuhan were hard put for rebuttals. It shows how sex was first used to sell industrial hardware, how Orphan Annie still keeps the world on track, and how an Arabian Nights wonderland of mass entertainment and suggestion makes information irrelevant, and sends us to bed at night too dazed to question whether we’re happy or not. We live in an age in which legions of highly educated professionals dedicate themselves to the task of getting inside the collective public mind with the object of manipulating, exploiting and controlling.

Summary:
Les médias constituent un système qui sert à communiquer des messages et des symboles à la population. Ils ont vocation à distraire, amuser, informer, et à inculquer aux individus les croyances et codes comportementaux qui les intégreront aux structures sociales au sens large. Dans un monde où les richesses sont fortement concentrées et où les intérêts de classe entrent en conflit, accomplir cette intégration nécessite une propagande systématique. Une modélisation de la propagande se focalise sur la prodigieuse inégalité dans la capacité de contrôle des moyens de production ; et ce qu'elle implique tant du point de vue de l'accès à un système de médias privés que de leurs choix et fonctionnements. Le modèle permet de reconstituer par quels processus le pouvoir et l'argent sélectionnent les informations.

Les Mots et les Choses valut à Michel Foucault une réputation internationale. Ensuite, ses autres ouvrages ne feront que développer une seule et même thèse : celle de la mort de l'homme et de l'humanisme classique qui concevait le sujet pensant comme une exception dans l'ordre de la nature. Avec l'avènement des sciences humaines, l'homme est devenu un objet d'étude au même titre que les phénomènes naturels. Cette objectivation de l'homme a en même temps rendu possible sa maîtrise. Ainsi, Michel Foucault, parce qu'il nous a délivrés de l'illusion de leur "naïveté positive", a été la mauvaise conscience des sciences de l'homme. Leur élaboration a en effet accompagné le triomphe de cette technique du pouvoir qui consiste à classifier les comportements humains pour mieux les manipuler. D'un abord plus difficile que la plupart des autres livres de Michel Foucault, Les Mots et les Choses constitue de toute évidence un des grands textes de la philosophie contemporaine dont un lecteur averti ne saurait faire l'économie. --Paul Klein
