Neil Gabler'a göre, medya gösterisi çağında, hayatın kendisi bir filim haline gelmiştir ve biz kendimize filim tadında ya da televizyonun çerçevesinde hayatlar kuruyoruz; kimi zaman performans sergilemesi beklenen bir oyuncu kılığına giriyoruz, kimi zaman ise büyük, sürekli bir gösterisinin seyircileri oluyoruz

Seeing culture and society as a field of contestation with forces of domination and resistance, repression and struggle, co-optation and upheaval, provides a more dynamic model than that of certain forms of Marxism or feminism that primarily see the dominant culture as one of domination and oppression, or of populist cultural studies that excessively valorizes resistance, overlooking the moments of domination. By contrast, envisioning society and culture as contested terrains articulates the openings and possibilities for social transformation, and the potentials for resistance and struggle, as well as providing a critique of ideology and domination.

The Simpson affair was also a class spectacle, which revealed that money could buy the best lawyers and technical experts and ultimately an acquittal. If commodity logic saturates everything, truth can be bartered and justice bought. The trial put on display the privileges of wealth, as it portrayed the affluent lifestyles of Simpson, Nicole, and their social circles. Indeed, part of the seduction of the trial was the fascination with class and wealth in a hypercapitalist society. The entire megaspectacle spawned a proliferation of books, articles, TV tabloid exposés, and other artifacts that displayed the opulence of upper-class life and intimate details of the affluence and decadence of the Simpson circles.

While some critics talk incessantly about cultural studies as a historical phenomenon, or endlessly debate the method and concepts of cultural studies, I do cultural studies through dissection of the production of texts, textual analysis of its meanings, and study of their effects and resonance, deploying a multiperspectivist approach.

...the concept of “postindustrial” society is highly problematic. The concept is negative and empty, failing to articulate positively what distinguishes the alleged new stage. Hence, the discourse of the “post” can occlude the connections between industrial, manufacturing, and emergent hi-tech industries and the strong continuities between the previous and present forms of social organization, as well as covering over the continued importance of manufacturing and industry for much of the world.

Capitalist society separates workers from the products of their labor, art from life, and consumption from human needs and self-directing activity, as individuals inertly observe the spectacles of social life from within the privacy of their homes.
