Marxist aesthetics is a theory of aesthetics based on, or derived from, the theories of Karl Marx . It involves a dialectical approach to the application of Marxism to the cultural sphere, specifically areas related to taste such as art, beauty, etc. Marxists believe that economic and social conditions affect every aspect of an individual s life, from religious beliefs to legal systems to cultural frameworks. The role of art is not only to represent such conditions truthfully, but also to seek to improve them. Some well known Marxist aestheticians include Theodor W. Adorno , Bertolt Brecht , Herbert Marcuse , Walter Benjamin , Antonio Gramsci , Georg Luk cs , Terry Eagleton , Fredric Jameson and Raymond Williams .

Crimin Marxist criminology is one of the school discipline schools of criminology . It parallels the work of the structural functionalism school which focuses on what produces stability and continuity in society but, unlike the functionalists, it adopts a predefined political philosophy . As in conflict criminology , it focuses on why things change, identifying the disruptive forces in industrialized societies, and describing how society is divided by power, wealth, prestige, and the perceptions of the world. The shape and character of the legal system in complex societies can be understood as deriving from the conflicts inherent in the structure of these societies which are stratified economically and politically Chambliss, 1971, p3 . It is concerned with the causal relationships between society and crime, i.e. to establish a critical understanding of how the immediate and structural social environment gives rise to crime and criminogenic conditions. Karl Marx argued that the law is the mechanism by which one social class , usually referred to as the ruling class , keeps all the other classes in a disadvantaged position.
