Three major cultural mechanisms
1. The imposition of a reality, or of what plays the role of reality, by the everyday stories of the mainstream media
2. The management of reality by experts who are supposedly the only ones qualified to deal with it
3. The consumption of reality as a set of possible objects of satisfaction for individuals

• 1- Can these processes transform themselves into stable institutions?
• 2- Are the existing institutions going to allow it?
