Community and Spectacle Take a final look at this spectacle production, which in its own way exhibits the pinnacle of modern mass spectacle, and of communal terror. Here uniform obedience, and rigid conformity is used to show the strength of ñthe communityî in order to further intimidate its own population and others. But strength here is a simple equation of armed might and enforced discipline. Such a group remains strong only as long as discipline can be enforced.

There is no possibility for enclusion in this community. |
