Based on the theories of Baudrillard, Ahlava argues that the calls for satisfaction, individualization, personalization, and creativity are actually at the core of a "magical" manipulation and "mythical" control within the socio-economic system of the culture industry. Ahlava analyzes these forms of control through a comparison of mythologies in the culture industry of moving images (film, tv, etc) and architecture. English.
