Sociology
The term ‘culture industry’, used by members of the Frankfurt School, referred to:
the globalization of culture through new technologies
the way in which cultural products were bought and sold for profit
the development of subcultures and counter-cultures in society
the way in which industrialization had created new means of communication
the way in which cultural products were bought and sold for profit
The mass media are said to have an enormous influence on popular culture, and this has become increasingly commercialised. Theorists in the Frankfurt School of the 1920s were critical of what they called the ‘culture industry’, or the way in which culture had become something to be bought and sold for profit as a commodity on the market. This created a ‘mass society’ of passive, unreflective consumers who were vulnerable to manipulation. 367
