| Summary: | This book offers an interdisciplinary examination of how modern culture contextualizes the values of labor. It examines a diverse array of multimedia texts from the era of modern capitalism and addresses the ideological tensions surrounding the representation of work. Chapters look at how culture's attempts to 'carnivalize' the values of labor can be challenged and ask whether critical representations can perpetuate the values they seek to negate. It adopts a radical critical perspective to explain how media products in the age of neoliberal capitalism can 'carnivalize' the values of modern capitalist labor even as they undermine economic and political freedom. |
