Ruling Class and Ruling Ideas, "from the German Ideology
The Class in teh Middle, In the fear of falling
This work warns against superficial fixes and co-optation, urging a return to confronting the core economic and power structures of patriarchy and capitalism, rather than getting distracted by funky branding or token representation, ultimately stalling radical movements by offering superficial fixes rather than true transformation of power structures. With a direct quote, "We were too busy analyzing the pictures being projected on the wall to notice that the wall itself had been sold." (Author, Title, Year)
Naomi Klein, Patriarchy Gets Funky, The Triumph of Identity Marketing, 2000.
In their analysis, they argued that the ruling class controls material production and, consequently, mental production (ideas). The ideas that dominate are presented as universal truths to justify obscure exploitation (false consciousness). This is a force that their institution masks, the real exploitative relationships, creating an economic foundation that dictates societal beliefs, ultimately serving the dominant class's interests. Think" The ruling ideas are merely the dominant material relations expressed as ideas". This counters idealist views, which hold that ideas drive history rather than material conditions shaping consciousness, and demystifies this notion.
Marx & Engels, "Ruling Class & Ruling Ideas, The German Ideology," 1845/46

Argues that while the ruling class dominates the Art world financially, the predominant character of the sphere is middle class because artists operate as individuals, independent producers rather than collective wage laborers.

All the Best Possible Taste-The Middle Class
Author, Title, Year
Dryer, the Matter of Whiteness, 1997
This author argues that taste isn't personal but a social tool for class diision, where the eleite define "high culture" (art for art sake, form over function) using cultural capital (education, manners) to create barrieres, while the working class, focused on necessity, accepts these judgements reinforcing hierachies where taste becomes a weapon of power and distinction.

Provincializing Europe in Global Times
Karl Marx wrote this in 1867
The Fetishism of the Comodity and its secret from capital Vol 1
In this reading, the key takeaways are that the scapes move independently, creating gaps and unpredictability. Globalization isn't a single, unified flow but multiple separate streams that don't align neatly. Instead of simple homogenization, local cultures adapt and blend global influences, creating new forms. Global imagination, shaped by media and ideas, allows people to form identities and affiliations beyond physical location. And finally, it reduces simple center-periphery or push-and-pull models, seeing a complex overlapping global cultural economy. (Author, Title, Year)
Arjun Appadurai, Disjuncture & Difference in the Global Cultural Economy, 1990
This author explores the anxieties of the educated, professional middle class (academics, managers, etc), highlighting their retreat from liberalism, growing self-interest, and deep-seated insecurity about losing status, not just incom,e which fuels a constant striving for achievement and judgemental view of other classes, all stemming from their precarious poisition between the working class and the wealthy elite.

Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy
This author's central argument is that the West defines itself by "othering" the rest of the world, effectively consigning non-Western cultures to a state of "prehistory" or "atrophy" (decline in effectiveness) to highlight its own progress. That western discourse assumes history is synonymous with western experience and implicitly declares that experiences of "others" are insignificant or unfinished. Western identity is self-defined as the one and center, while all other cultures are the other, creating this position of superiority and non-Western art as primitivism. The only way for an artist to be accepted into the Western art world is if their work reflects their "native" heritage, and anything else is often dismissed or lacking authenticity, forcing them into a numbers game where they have to compete with other non-Western artists for limited "other" spaces.
Oguibe, In the Heart of Darkness, 1993
This author argues that politicians and the media use "Chav" as a derogatory label to avoid addressing the real, structural causes of poverty and inequality. This demonizes and scapegoats the working class in Britain, thereby deflecting attention to issues like deindustrialization and the decline of secure, well-paid jobs.

This Author argues that Western social sciences often impose flawed frameworks like universal reason or secular time on non-Western experiences, making them seem incomplete.

Author, Title, Year
Chakrabarty, "Provincializing Europe in Global Times", 2007
This author's core idea is that in a capitalist society, the social relationship between people (producers and consumers) appears as an objective, natural relationship between things (commodities and their prices). This value you placed on Community creates a mystical value, a quality of the object itself rather than a result of the human labor and social organization required to produce it.

The Beauty Myth
This author argues that postmodernism is not just a cultural trend but a direct result of a major shift in capitalism from Fordism (Mass production) to flexible accumulation. This crisis led to a new mode of production based on flexibility, outsourcing, and global finance. This new economic system creates a time-space compression, meaning the world feels smaller and faster, and the perception of time and space changes dramatically.

The Museum as a way of seeing
This author argues that modern society has moved from reflecting reality to creating simulations that precede and replace reality, resulting in a hyperreal where the distinction between real and imaginary collapses, leaving us with models without referents, like a map becoming more real than the territory it represents, fundamentally altering perception and meaning.

The system of representation and beliefs that make class domination appear natural or in everyone's best interest.
