We <DIV></DIV>>live in a more self-consciously cynical time, and consumer culture <DIV></DIV>>is far sexier, as the cultural revolution of the 60s has been <DIV></DIV>>sublated into the commodity fetishism of the 80s and 90s. Why do <DIV></DIV>>you think nobody talks about conformity anymore, as they did in the <DIV></DIV>>1940s-60s? There's a reason, and it is because the culture and <DIV></DIV>>structure of conformity have changed. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Other than your dislike for those who profess to be Foucauldians, there is a link between these sentiments and Foucault's conception of the subjection and manufactured freedom under capitalism.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>MattP</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM1ENAU/c152??PI=44314'>Click Here</a><br></html>
