Karl Marx claimed that human alienation was created by a social structure and socially structured separation between humans and their work. Alienation reached its highest intensity in capitalist society where the great mass of the population depended for subsistence on working under the direction of others. The competitive nature of the workplace also caused alienation, or separated, workers from each other. The term alienation was used widely in German philosophy. Alienation is separation of individuals from control and direction of their social life. In the 19th century, Philippe Pinel popularized a new understanding of mental alienation, particularly through his 'medical-philosophical treatise.' For the millions of tribals of India resisting alienation is more important than democracy.
Alienation and ideology are intertwined in everyday life and are directed to everyday life. Therefore, the day-to-day is placed in this relationship as a medium between the general economic structure of society and that of human beings.
Alienation and Affect - by Warren D. TenHouten.
Alienation has objective, social-structural
determinants, yet is experienced subjectively as a psychological state involving
both emotion and cognition. Part I considers conceptualizations of alienation
and affect in historical context, emphasizing Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Simmel, and
Weber. Part II develops a theory of the affective bases of Seeman’s original
five varieties of alienation – normlessness, meaninglessness, self-estrangement,
cultural estrangement, and powerlessness. The book develops the affective bases
of seven distinct varieties of alienation. This work synthesizes classical and
contemporary alienation theory and the sociology of emotions.
School alienation – Theoretical approaches
and educational research - Tina Hascher, Andreas Hadjar.
This article critically examines the research on
school alienation. Considers definitions, general conceptual approaches and specific
concepts of school alienation, including
operationalisations of school alienation. We
propose a definition and model of school alienation that may guide future
research efforts. We argue that future research on school alienation needs to
focus on the processes by which school alienation manifests itself; moreover, it
must take into account how school alienation can differ with regard to various
domains in school (alienation from learning, from teachers, from
classmates). Overall, we argue that instead of an emphasis on general alienation
from school, a more specific approach to school alienation is required.

Abstract: The study aims to reflect on the ontological
foundations and roles in society of ideology and alienation. The article is structured in two distinct and connected moments,
discussing first ideology and the fundamental base of the concepts. Then, the
work debates alienation as an ideological phenomenon, particularly when it comes
to reifications and their relevance to the critique of capitalism. Based on
these reflections, this article aims to examine the categories of ideology and
alienation, their ontological foundations, determinations, and the connections
they have to each other. The category of ideology is presented, showing its
fundamental bases. Alienation is explored,diamond hublot big bang replica as a phenomenon that is
also ideological (particularly regarding the reification), as a way of being of
alienations in capitalism, an aspect that is observed in the “Lukacsian”
ontology.
