THE REBEL SELL: WHY THE CULTURE CAN’T BE JAMMED
Book ID/图书代码： 06002005B02504
English Summary/英文概要： With the popularity of Michael Moore, Adbusters magazine and Naomi Klein’s No Logo, it’s hard to ignore the growing tide of resistance to our corporatecontrolled world. But do these vocal opponents of the status quo offer us a real political alternative?
In this lively blend of pop culture, history and philosophical analysis, Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter argue that this countercultural opposition to "the system" has not only been unproductive but has helped to create the very consumer society that radicals oppose. This thought-provoking book will enrage and entertain today’s countercultural rebels and their opponents on the political right.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “反文化幾乎已經取代了社會主義作為激進政治理念根源的地位” 自打邁克爾•摩爾的作品以驚人的勢頭風靡全球，榮登各大暢銷排行榜寶座，也隨著諸如反文化雜誌《ADbuster》以及娜歐蜜.克萊恩的《顛覆品牌意識》這樣的反消費主義浪潮評論作品暢銷不衰，想要置之不理那一股股與日俱增的反對商業壟斷社會的情緒的確不太可能。但是那一波波嘴巴上說反對現狀的人，能不能給我們真正意義上的另一種政治模式呢？ 在這本富有見地的文化評論中，Joseph Heath和Andrew Potter兩位作者徹底粉碎了政治、經濟和文化上的激進思維模式中的核心謬論。所謂反文化思潮就是指 隔絕彌漫在我們周圍濃厚的消費主義，在它身邊的另一片天地，而這樣的思潮本身涵蓋的範圍也相當廣泛，既有反全球化運動、女權主義，也有環境主義。但是作者認為這樣的思潮雖然嘲笑消費主義體系或者說企圖把這樣的體系擠壓到最後崩潰，但是這一思想的本身是反生產的，它反倒是在助紂為孽，反而幫助創立激進分子極力反對的消費主義社會。 Heath和Potter把流行文化、歷史和哲學分析結合的如此生動微妙，讓我們擦亮了眼睛一目了然看清了如果在沒有反文化思潮，沒有幻想的變革下，社會正義感會是如何？
