Considering this phenomenon across psychology, labour and cultural studies, the author engages with critical theorists such as Luk當s, Fromm and Marcuse to examine how escapism appears in our minds, workplaces and utopian imaginaries from fiction to music. In this study, escapism emerges as a constitutive feature of the late capitalist lifeworld - a feature that must be understood in order to create social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDefining escapism as a new field of study, \u003ci\u003eLate Escapism and Contemporary Neoliberalism: Alienation, Work and Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e suggests that the phenomenon has much to teach us about contemporary consciousness and how we resist and reshape the edicts of neoliberalism. As such, this book will appeal to scholars of cultural and critical theory, social movements and political sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Sharzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138242314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138242319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022","brand":"Greg Sharzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924188070143,"sku":"9781138242319","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_87b24307-8ac6-48b7-8999-394858a65750.jpg?v=1681068991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/late-escapism-and-contemporary-neoliberalism-greg-sharzer-9781138242319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
