ظاهرة التصنيع الثقافي وأثارها في تزييف الوعي والواقع الجماهيري: مدرسة فرانكفورت نموذجا

Abstract EN

Contemporary society has been dominated by a huge industrial movement in all fields, and was considered as a bad habit as it doesn't guarantee any production, neither rest nor aesthetic beauty; this movement has also invaded the cultural side, which led to the phenomenon of modern industry.

the Frankfurt school has already cleared about cultural industry through its common book “dialectic of enlightenment” that all aspects of culture and especially those related to different arts, information and communication sides, and different media as cinema, television and radio, became in modern western society instruments of domination which exert pressure on political systems in order to violate personal liberty specifically freedom of expression.

nowadays, these techniques are contributing in the continuity of capitalism which led to falsifying public awareness and reality, and this is how culture was strayed from its main role in generating political and social awareness, and detecting the falsification of political and economic systems by losing critical appreciation.
