Alienation and the Carnivalization of Society is written by Jerome Braun and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1136618333 (ISBN 10) and 9781136618338 (ISBN 13).

This book examines alienation from both a sociological and psychoanalytic perspective, revisiting classic treatments of the topic (Marx, Simmel, Weber) and exploring its relevance to understanding post-modern consumer society. It examines the escapist potentials for good and for ill in modern society - those fostered by commercial interests, and those maintained by individuals and groups as their form of resisting alienation.
