Lifestyle Advertising and the Breakdown of Rationality.

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper examines George Orwell's theme of how the tampering with language by the state project of power results in the
emergence of double think as a form of the breakdown of rationality. The paper connects this to the popular acceptance of lifestyle advertising in capitalist society. What happens in this process is that a certain uniformity is molded and free choice is minimized.
