This collection of texts is the first English presentation of a selection of the work of the West German Marxist philosopher Wolfgang Fritz Haug. It brings together 10 essential essays written between 1970 and 1983, and sets forth a multi-dimensional analvsis of culture integrating three interrelated theories: a theory of commodity aesthetics or the phenomenon and function of the realization of the value of commodities; a theory of the cultural as an omni-present dimension of everyday life, especially “culture from below”; and a theory of the ideological, particularly concerned with ideological powers “from above”. Published on Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General/IMMRC.

“This collection of texts, by authors from Nicaragua and the U.S., is the first critical anthology on the media and culture in Nicaragua, where concern for the “freedom of the press” has become a veritable fetish for the international news media. In analyzing numerous aspects of the subiect – journalism, the press, the radio, film, video, mural expression, literacy and social movements – in their social-historical dimension, the authors attempt to assess the cultural achievements, problems and future of Nicaragua in its struggle to tevelop a practice of democratic participation despite he siege conditions of U.S. imposed warfare: economic and psychological as well as military.” Published on Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General/IMMRC.

An Anthology in 2 Volumes. Edited by Armand Mattelart and Seth Siegelaub. “Communication and Class Struggle, a two-volume work, is the first general marxist anthology of writings on communications, information and culture. Its purpose is to analyse the relationship between the practice and theory of communication and their development within the context of class struggle. Armand Mattelart and Seth Siegelaub, the editors, have selected more than 120 essential marxist and progressive texts originating in over 50 countries and written since the mid-nineteenth century to explain three interrelated phenomena: (1) how basic social, economic and cultural processes condition communication; (2) how bourgeois communication practice and theory have developed as part of the capitalist mode of production; and (3) how in the struggle against exploitation and oppression, the popular and working classes have developed their own communication practice and theory, and a new, liberated mode of communication, culture and daily life.” Published on Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General/IMMRC.
