Our Schizophrenia over the Years: Understand Your Own Era
About This Novel
This book is a work of cultural criticism and social commentary. Through the analysis of the current logic of cultural production and social lifestyle, it highlights the overall materialization situation created by the extreme development of capital mechanisms, so as to show the "schizophrenia syndrome of social consciousness and cultural spirit" since the new century. The concept of "schizophrenia" is used in this book to describe the core characteristics of the current spiritual consciousness of Chinese society: imaginative solutions to and imaginative criticism of real-life contradictions, turning all real-life contradictions into contradictions in love, entertainment, and trivial life, and using the perfection of emotionalism as a substitute for the happiness of real life. This book relies on the analysis of various texts and social events with great social influence to allow readers to see the shocking dilemma of Chinese society in common life scenes. From movies and television to novels and online articles, from the panic of fighting for salt on the streets to the congestion at highway intersections, this book not only paints a vivid panorama of current Chinese society, but also reveals the power contradictions, cultural struggles and political opposition hidden in every detail. This is an era when the spirit and culture are being divided. This book aims to make readers touch the cracks and think about the future.
