- W2334970082 abstract "The need for the desire for spontaneous popular association, suggests to Christopher Lasch our only respite from the deadening impact of contemporary mass culture. Citing Simone Weil, who understood these matters more clearly than sociological students of mass culture (even those whose sympathies lie with the Left), Lasch shares her amazement that certain periods almost without material means of communication surpassed ours in the wealth, variety, fertility, and vitality of their exchanges of thought over the very widest expanses. The spread of advanced means of communication has meant not greater enlightenment of democracy, or richer, more extensive exchanges, but a higher provincialism and a social uprootedness leaving no anchor of collective loyalty but the State. Yet people resist this imposed and abstract association, recognizing that there is something hideous about a human existence devoid of loyalty. With this appeal to roots, Lasch ends his essay Mass Culture Reconsidered, which appeared in Sheldon Wolin's short-lived journal Democracy in 1981.1 It is important for being Lasch's major statement between his two latest books, The Culture of Narcissism (1978) and The Minimal Self (1984).2 Though an afterthought to one and a point of departure for the other, this essay on mass and popular culture has a coherence and stature of its own. Here, and in the subsequent exchange with Herbert Gans,3 Lasch addresses more directly than in either book the issue of mass culture and democracy. His theoretical range is wider, and he points in directions which are left unexplored in the Narcissism book and in The Minimal Self." @default.
