Three Dimensionalities and the Steering of the Consumer Society Theory of Western Neo-Marxism
Journal of Henan University, 2011Co-Authors: Yan Fang-jieAbstract:With the rise of Consumer Society,Western Neo-Marxist formed the Consumer Society theories.The Frankfurt School such as Adorno saw the Consumer Society as the results of alienation merchandise and instrumental rationality's spreading in consumption area.In the view of modernity critique,they exposed its deception on mass.However,neglect of the public's consciousness,overly simplistic critics of technology and so on constitutes a shortage of their theory.Lefebvre pointed out that new forms of alienation spread in Consumer Society,and the Society controls everyday life and consumption by using a large number of signs.Lefebvre opened up a post-modern steering of Consumer Society study.However,he discarded the Marx's theory of production mode and turned to the critics of sign fetishism and linguistics revolution,which is useless.In the view of post-modernism,Baudrillard thought the Consumer Society as a stage fractured with modern Society,and the distinction of signs constitutes its dominant logic.He thought only by building the critique of Political Economy of sign,can we decode the ideology of Consumer Society.However,he misread the theories of Marx,at the same time;over-reliance on semiotics leads him to the trap of nihilism.

Demystifying of the Symbolized Consumption Objects and Its Ideology:Baudrillard's Criticism of Consumer Society from the Perspective of Semeiology
Journal of Social Science of Harbin Normal University, 2011Co-Authors: Yan Fang-jieAbstract:In Contemporary capitalist Society,consumption changes its meaning and becomes more and more important,which triggers a new cultural experience.Many theorists say that the Consumer Society has come.In Baudrillard's view,the existence mode of objects in Consumer Society has changed fundamentally.The use value of objects gradually dissolves,which reduces to a functional system of symbols;symbolized objects hide tight social class,and contain the myth of capitalist ideology.Baudrillard borrows the theory of semeiology and situationism theory to criticize the phenomena of the symbolized objects.As a result,he broadens the Western neo-Marxist perspective on the Consumer Society,but at the same time,he falls into the morass of idealism,anti-materialism and cynicism.

Social Exclusion in a Consumer Society: A Study of Five Rural Communities
Social Policy and Society, 2002Co-Authors: Colin C. WilliamsAbstract:The starting point of this paper is that the shift from a producer to a Consumer Society necessitates that social exclusion is investigated not only in relation to production but also consumption. To do this, case study evidence from interviews with 350 households in rural England is reported. This reveals that people define themselves as excluded from mainstream consumption not only when they are unable to acquire goods but also when they rely on informal and second-hand channels (e.g., car boot sales, second-hand shops) to obtain them. Social exclusion in Consumer Society is thus found to relate to not only non-possession but also exclusion from mainstream modes of goods acquisition.
