Manufacturing Consent The Political Economy of the Mass Media Resource Type: Book Published: 1988 Contrary to the usual image of the press and cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitious in its search for truth, Herman and Chomsky depict how an underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news.

Media Think Resource Type: Book Published: 2000 Increasingly the news media are owned by a small group of very large corporations with extensive interests outside the industry, run by the corporate elite.Winter argues that instead of offering diverse perspectives on events and issues, the media portray an increasingly dogmatic and orthodox corporate picture of the world around us. The consistency with which they do this has its consequent, intended effect on public opinion and policy formation. Modern Capitalism and Revolution Resource Type: Book Published: 1975 For revolutionaries one central point must be grasped to understand how the system works: the struggle of human beings against their alientation, and the ensuing conflict and split in all spheres, aspects and moments of socia life. As long as this struggle is there there ruling strata will continue to be unable to organise their system in a coherent way, and society will lurch from one accident to another. These are the conditions for revolutionary activity in the present epoch -- and they are amply sufficient. Multiculturalism or World Culture? On a "Left"-Wing Response to Contemporary Social Breakdown Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2000 Post-modernists are profoundly bored by any questions of economics and technology which cannot be connected to cultural differences.

The Nazis and Deconstruction: Jean-Pierre Faye's Demolition of Derrida Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1993 A review of Jean-Pierre Faye's book 'La raison narrative', which traces the Nazi origins of deconstructionist and post-modernist concepts and terminology.

News Media Stifle Ideas and Debate Review of Democracy's Oxygen: How Corporations Control the News Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1997 Far from providing democracy's oxygen, as they claim, the news media today legitimize a fundamentally undemocratic system.

On Power and Ideology Resource Type: Book Published: 1987 Ontological "Difference" and the Neo-Liberal War on the Social Deconstruction and Deindustrialization Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2001 We have today legions of people with a smattering of knowledge turning out reams of books filled with buzz words that could be (and have been) produced by a computer program, and could be (and are) picked up in peer-group shop talk in a few months at the nearest humanities program or academic conference. Everyone these people don't like is trapped in a "gaze"; everyone "constitutes" their "identity" by "discourse"; to the fuddy-duddy "master narratives" that talk about such indelicate subjects as world accumulation these people counterpose "pastiche" and "bricolage", the very idea of being in any way systematic smacking of "totalitarianism"; it is blithely assumed that everyone except heterosexual white males now and for all time have been "subversives" (one wonders why we are still living under capitalism); a crippling relativism makes it somehow "imperial" to criticize public beheadings in Saudi Arabia or cliterodectomy practiced on five-year old girls in the Sudan.

Vanguard of Retrogression "Postmodern" Fictions as Ideology in the Era of Fictitious Capital Resource Type: Book Published: 2001 When one probes the terms of the debate, what is truly amazing is that the ostensibly anti-Eurocentric multiculturalists are, without knowing it, purveying a remarkably Eurocentric version of what the Western tradition really is. The ultimate theoretical sources of today's multiculturalism are two very white and very dead European males, Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger. Where Do Postmodernists Come From? Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 1995 Eagleton argues that left intellectuals have adopted postmodernism out of a sense of having been badly defeated, a belief that the left as a political tendency has little future.
