在世纪上半叶，西奥多·阿多诺（Theodor Adorno）写了一篇关于“文化工业”的文章。对阿多诺来说，文化也沿着着工厂劳动的产品，日益成为一种商品。现在，在他们所谓的“全球文化产业”中，斯科特·拉什和西莉亚·卢里认为阿多诺最可怕的噩梦已经成真。
他们的新书讲述了一个引人入胜的故事，讲述了手表和运动服等物质物品如何成为强大的文化符号，以及以全球知名品牌为形式的符号生产如何成为资本主义的核心目标。全球文化产业提供了一个经验和理论丰富的检查，这些对象的方式-从耐克鞋到玩具总动员，从全球足球到概念艺术-变形和跨越国界。
这本书将成为全球化时代的启蒙辩证法。这将是学生和学者在社会科学必不可少的阅读。
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.
