Preface
Jerome Braun
The notion of the Carnivalization of Society has much in common with the concept of escapism as relief from the tensions associated with alienation in society. Alienation in society itself is a concept derived originally from theories of cultural evolution. Alienation as a social science concept derives from Hegel and his idealistic philosophy of the evolution of values coordinated with the evolution of culture, and in particular from Marxs materialistic adaptation of this, emphasizing the evolution of consciousness (partly philosophies of life, partly psychological states in the sense of individual character and personality) developed as the result of the evolution of social structures, which, in the Marxist version, reflects the evolution of social class systems derived from changes in the means of production. The result includes patterns of private property ownership and the power that is either granted or denied to individuals because of this. A good introduction to this whole field is Gary B. Thom, The Human Nature of Social Discontent: Alienation, Anomie, Ambivalence (Thom 1983).
